Nikon 24-70mm 2.8 lens

I just bought the Nikon 24-70mm 2.8 lens! It's awesome! It arrived from B and H Photo last Thursday, the day before Samantha and Maxwell's wedding- that was the first time I got to use it! I love it! In other news, just saw that Nikon came out with a D3x- 24.5 megapixels! That's nuts!

Meet Bear!

Deven and I adopted Bear on Sunday! He is a 2 year old German Shepherd who was abandoned for quite some time. He's very skinny, but super lovable. We're so glad he's in our family now!

Katie & Mike's E-Session

I photographed Katie and Mike, from Arizona, right around Christmas while they were in San Diego for the holidays. Mike is a huge baseball fan, so we went downtown to Petco Park and had some fun around there! Mike hit a home run with Katie (wink, wink) and ran her all the way around the bases!
