LORI + JOHN

Lori and John are super easy going and I'm so excited to shoot their wedding in May. John had the idea of going to Olvera Street near downtown Los Angeles. Lots of culture, color, and different buildings to model in front of. Here is a few of my favorites from the session!

Merry Christmas!

Wow, I can't believe it's already the end of the year almost. At the beginning of the 2007, I knew it was going to be a great year. Although it had it's struggles, I know that these struggles made me more of a wiser and stronger person. I was most definitely correct. 2007 was one of the greatest years of my life.

Here's a few personal highlights:

Got Married
Read more books
Got more Creative in all ways
Prayed more
Business Foundation got stronger

Here's a few things coming up for 2008:

New Anthony + Joseph logo and website going live by January!
Some exciting Weddings both personal friends and business clients
New computers! Eagerly awaiting new Macbook pro and Mac Pro Desktop in early 2008.
Possibly some in house printing capabilities by end of the year?
Meeting new people, shooting their wedding, and becoming lifelong friends. :D

Have a great New Years!

PDN Workshop

Just got back from a 2-day PDN workshop. It was good to see what was going on in the commercial and editorial world regarding photography. Learned a lot and it is very inspiring to see how the industry is changing.

I love attending workshops and just learning in general. It gives me such motivation to keep doing what I'm doing. :D

I'll update more with some pics later this week.

Best Man

My Best Man Joel came down for a few days from Seattle. He got a quirky rent a car called "HHR". It's basically a wannabe PT Cruiser. We had a little time to kill so we did a 10 minute photoshoot out in the desert lands of California with it.

Fun times!

Finally...

I think I'm finally starting to get rid of this flu i got earlier last week. I've been taking airborne for the past week about 2-3 times a day. Anyhow, it's good to back in semi-working order.

I have some really cool news to share.

One of my best friends who designed and coded our www.ajphotographs.com site had recently scripted our site over to Microsoft's Silverlight. If you haven't heard of it yet, it's because it's basically the "new" adobe flash. [something like that. ;)]

Sam recently told me that our website made it on the front page of www.silverlight.net site! I just checked the traffic on our website and it's at it's highest it's ever been this past week! Great exposure for sure. Visit www.ajphotographs.com/sl to see what silverlight is on our site.

Good night and have a good week!

Meet Janet Kinnaman.

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, Janet and I have been sick with some virus going around the So. Cal area. It's weird cause it gets really hot and then really cold, so it tricks our outfits for the day. I'm trying to pinpoint where I got sick but it's hard cause you can essentially get it from going to the grocery store and putting in your pin number after buying groceries. Near impossible to find out. Oh well, we're praying for a speedy recovery!

We'll be updating some cool photos soon of some family portraits we've recenty done.

Stay tuned!

Emotions

I really like this photo i took during a wedding reception. One of the things that Joe and I try to capture is the emotions throughout the whole day. Here's a happier one that brings smiles to my face. :D

After months...

We Finally have our 'Thank You' cards done and ready to be shipped...



Friends who are about to get married, I pray that God blesses you with wisdom, patience, and persistance at this time. Don't let the stress of planning for next year get to you. I promise that married life will be the best journey you will encounter.


On a side note, if you are looking for motivation on "saving $$" and "paying off debt", I HIGHLY recommend you read Dave Ramsey's "Total Money Makeover". I personally purchased it through iTunes for $11.95 and listened to it in two days. It will change your life.

Brenden and Co.

Here's a few favorites from our shoot a couple of weeks ago.

Sonya is an awesome hairstylist who works on celebrity hair! If you need a hairstylist, let me know, I'll see if I can refer you to her. ;)

You might recognize Brenden when he was 3 months old on our website. Well, Sonya wanted to get her family portraits done as he just turned 9 months! Wow how time flies!

This is a reminder to live each day as if there is no tomorrow.
