Running on the grass, going for a walk around Balboa Park, playing frisbee and just hanging out with your best friend….sounds like the perfect day. And I think for Colby, this black retriever, it was. Both Julia and I love dogs. Our yellow lab, Roxy, is always laying at our feet when we are on...

Gapusan family | Pacific Beach family photographer
I have to admit that I walked into this session with mixed emotions. I always get a little nervous/ excited before a shoot, but taking family photos for another photographer can turn the nervous setting up a few notches. On the other hand, Arlene is a good friend and her family is as easy going...
Benjamin | San Diego Baby Photographer
We’re still catching up on blogging some of the sessions that we did earlier in the year. I can’t believe it took so long to get this posted. Kirsten contacted us on a referral from Sara and Ed. You may remember the family and baby photos we did with them and their beautiful little boy...

This was our 3rd time photographing this family. By...

Photo collage actions
People often ask us how we make the photo collages you see often on our blog and facebook fan page. We used to create each one in photoshop from scratch until we found MCP blog and the MCP photoshop actions. If you have photoshop, these actions make it incredibly easy to make collages of your...
Learning from the Master – Shooting Kids Workshop with Jay Reilly

I spent the day getting lighting, camera and business tips from Jay Reilly and hanging out with a group of great photographers. We used Artist Alley in Oceanside for our first photoshoot with...
