Method + Mastery = Artistry

On a recent trip to my home land in Hawaii, I photographed my long time friend Ray Carbullido.  He is a Jedi master primarily focused on the cultivation of body intelligence, mental clarity, and emotional stability.  Martial arts is the main medium through which he cultivates and knows himself.  These photos capture his strength, inner peace and mad skills as a human.

Say Hello to the Cutest Baby in Town | Finnegan

I joined new mommas Jen and Annelyse, their baby Finnegan and their lab Kersee (named after olympic runner Jackie Joyner Kersee) for a fun photo shoot in their family home. Finnegan is a healthy, happy and oh so giggly little boy. Actually he's huge for an eight month old and growing fast! I cannot wait to see what the future holds for this family I hold so near and dear to my heart!

You talkin' to me?

Finnegan's first taste of freedom. Crawling, walking, running and before you know it, driving! All with his personal body guard, Kersee, by his side.

Cyclub

Getting groovy with the artists from Cyclub, a gypsy pyschadelic punk band featuring musicians from around the globe. Grabbed these awesome shots during their show at Tin Castle in San Francisco. Being a photographer is all about switching up it, capturing moments from different angles, viewpoints and perspectives.

L.O.V.E. Love

Karina and James fell head over heels while playing like kids on a jungle gym. Their first date was at Chase Palm Park in Santa Barbara so James (a parkour master) could teach her some tricks of the trade and of course win her heart by showing off his ninja like skills. I was ecstatic when I found out these two were getting married and even more ecstatic when they asked me to photograph an engagement session with them. Their lively energies are contagious and my hope is that their spirit, happiness and love radiates through these photographs. My wish is that when they look back upon them in fifty years, it makes them fall in love all over again as they relive these memories captured in time!
