Woo hooo… some of the shots from our trip are now ready! We had a great time unwinding and checking out the beautiful rocks and landscapes of the Valley of Fire state park. You can probably see why it was given this name… :) Enjoy!

We had an amazing weekend with a beautiful wedding in San Jose and a fun engagement session in Palo Alto. Lots of pictures will be coming shortly! :)

For now, we want to share with you photos from Carl Warner, an amazing photographer from England:













BTW, did you notice that the landscapes in the pictures are made entirely of food? We were blown away when we first saw these. View more of this artist’s work here.

Have a great week everyone!!

As promised, we brought back tons of photos from our trip to Valley of Fire and we’re going to post a lot of them as soon as we catch up a bit. Here’s something fun just for now…

While shooting at sunset we noticed how clear our shadows appeared on the rocks and we couldn’t stop taking some of these fun shots:

We’ve recently had the good fortune of being featured in the ‘Great Output’ professional photography magazine. The buzz surrounding Zenfolio, our print fulfillment partner, has been growing and yielded yet another opportunity to share our experience. We’ve also been asked to display some of our portfolio images on the pages of this magazine. It’s an honor to be published alongside some of the world’s greatest photographers and we’re just thrilled! Thanks to Zenfolio, our clients benefit from beautiful photo display galleries and great quality prints.

Here are the pages from the March issue:
