Glad you could come Sarina! It was nice to meet you and I love your shots of Amber. Great colors there. And of course David with his short off…I’ll never forgive you for not running to get me when that happened!

My good friend Richard and I decided to take a day to go shoot around town. We decided on Crystal Cove and the surrounding Laguna Beach area.  It was a super hot day! I got a bit burnt since my skin is super sensitive to heat and the sun. I was dying in the heat!...
