Most of this set was indoors in my studio. Studio lighting can be tricky but can gives affects you cant get outside

If we could somehow figure out how to harness the energy from these little guys we could solve America's energy crisis.

Heres another set with the little guys that have endless energy. This time, I did some different things for close up action shots during the game that made a nice difference.

This set was easy. When they are relaxed, the photos come naturally without really needing direction on posing.

 These kids were a little harder to keep interested but the set turned out great.

The NYS Youth team is a tough bunch of guys tackling their way through the league. Doing the action shots was not easy. In general, I was thinking that its a bunch of kids having fun wearing grown up football uniforms so I have to admit I was impressed to see how seriouslly the Dads (and some of the Moms) were about the game.

 Another early morning set with great light. We did some indoor stuff near north facing windows with reflectors that turned out great. Outside stuff always turns out great in AZ mornings. Collen was easy to work because she's photogenic and smiles all the time. 

 These kids are relentless ... but its still fun. NestingBaby.com

This was our first trip to Maui. Its definetly not our last. 

Our friends Craig and Renee got married in Maui. Yes, my wife and I stood up in the wedding and I also took photos of the wedding. Thats what happens when you know photography. :)

The wedding was really small and completely stress free for everyone. We did the wedding with no photographs, and then re-did certain parts so I can photograph stuff. The outside light was absolutely and completely horrible since we did it in the middle of the day and alot of the photos where in direct light and we didnt have overhead reflectors......but when your in Maui you just kind of let things be the way they are, relax and have a good time. Maui is a great place to get married.

Busines Executive Theme Photo Set. It's fun to try to catch people in their 'element', regardless of what they do. After this set, I regret not having more time with the whole group. The old school 'line up everyone in a row' does not work for this type of theme because you want to convey the organizational chart structure. The cool thing about that is it brings up alot of creative options.

These Smith Barney guys are all about the stock market and investements. I thought about some interesting props but didnt go through with them when I realized they are great to photograph in their natural element.

This was Reva's first Birthday party. Being that young I was surprised how easy she was to photograph. Her parents definitely picked excellent Indian food for the party.

This was at the Marriott Desert Ridge. This was one of those 'wait for people in the background to move' before taking a photo kind of set. :) Besides that it was an easy set. Some of the outside light was harsh but we balanced it out with a reflector.

NestingBaby.com Fall line of clothes. Without alot of help from others (my wife and friends), I would have never been able to do this set. These kids are crazy. :)

My cousin married in Miama. We had some extra time to spend with relatives and hang out on the beach. Its great to see family you havent seen in a while. The wedding was very nice and at an amazing location. I love the southern Florida vibe.

My wife has been plannig this trip for a long time. Spain for 4 days (Madrid and Barcelona), France (Paris) for 3 days, and England (London ) 4 days. I took over 2000 pics total. I probably need another year to finish going through all of them. Some of the side trips outside London are Stonehedge, Statford and Stratford upon Avon, Bath (very cool), Warwick Castle, and Windsor Castle. We made friends and plan on going back to visit again.

This set with Treasure and her family was taken at Gainey Ranch.

Jonathan (The pastor at our church) is making a new album and these photos are advertising/album cover type sets. One day, when he is really popular as a Singer or Actor he'll remember me and say "I wonder how Adrian's doing? He's that really cool and clever guy that also takes cool photos. I should call him and take him out for lunch"

Our church organinzes Mexican mission trips every year. This year we helped build a house for a handicaped christian man and distirbuted food and clothes in Aqua Prieta. This trip is always a humbling experience.

My ankle healed well enough to do this. This hike was organized by Scott Beck. He had a bunch of people go from North Rim to South Rim in one day. Its 24 miles with significant altitude change. The last 5 miles are hard because your climbing out of the canyon. I totally love this kind of challenge....but was a little sore the next day.

Cool static stuff.

When my friend asked me to photograph his daughters princess party I was a little hesitant. Kids wearing pink princess gowns is not really my thing. But I have to say the photos turned out great....and I got a couple laughes doing it.

They picked a perfect locatation with Drewmore Estate in Pennsylvania. She's very easy to photograph.

They got married at Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale. We had a great time.

These are some photos of Monica. Unlike me, she's definetly photogenic

This is where I fractured my ankle. Mountain Little Bear in Southern Colorada is a 14,000 foot peak but we didnt make it to the top because of bad weather conditions. Having a fractured ankle didnt help much either. I plan on going back and attempting another summit soon.
