A Child's Smile Is A Wonderful Sight.

I had a photo shoot with my beautiful cousins yesterday and they wanted to get some shots of the kiddos playing so we went to a local park next to the Kern River and had some fun! Thanks for such a great time Ryan and Kim!!







Little Leah, I guess, is planning on being a thug for life. She is great!













And this is what you get when not everyone is paying attention!
And mind you there was no one behind me or anything. Who knows why they were looking like that...haha!

A Tree's Soul

Coming home from picking up one of the greatest cousins, we stopped in Frazier Park, Ca, to take photos for a while. With still just a little bit of snow on the ground, blue sky, and nice bright sun, the scenery was absolutely magical.

Practice brings passion.

So in October, in my pursuit to gain more experience and also have a lot of fun I had my first photo shoot with some of my cousins and their children. I only had my new camera about a week and a half but had been using it as much as I could to ensure I could do the best I could. Here are a few of the shots of my beautiful cousins.

























For being my first ever photo shoot it certainly went very well, I love the shots I got, and the best part was my cousins LOVE the photos they got as well. I love capturing memories and moments.

The View Is Great.

Olivas Adobe, Oxnard, Ca - Ok, so this isn't the best composed picture and doesn't have a definite subject but I love the action! It's amazing what a sudden gust of wind can do for a photo!



Salt Lake City LDS Temple - Even if you're not LDS, you must admit that this is one gorgeous building.



Calico Ghost Town, Ca - I absolutely love history and when that history is something I can photograph I always take the opportunity. Now I know California doesn't have a long history like a lot of places in this wonderful world, but does have some history and the mines in Calico are definitely part of that history.



Lake Isabella, Ca. This is about an hour from my house. Last New Years I went camping at the lake and snapped this great shot.



Cayucus, Ca - Cayucus Cemetery. This is one of my very most favorites. It is a headstone to one Paul Madonna whom I do not know but he certainly had some great taste because this angel is a beauty, and it's even over a hundred years old.



This is another from my little adventure on the last day of last year that I forgot to post with the others and it's also one of my favorites. Hart Park, Bakersfield, Ca.
