The 2010 Photog Shootout Cross Country Trip was decided by the members of the group!  Several messages were sent out to the group asking what cities would be interested in hosting a Photog Shootout Event.  Well a familiar face and name recommended we come to Phoenix.  I had seen Christy popping up on Facebook here and there.  Most of the photos consisted of her jumping in the air and/or acting goofey with her Washington DC Photographer crew!

I had never officially met Christy…but I’m so glad I finally did!  Her and her man Jasen helped plan and rock out the Phoenix Photog Shootout. We quickly hit it off…so much so that I invited them up to San Diego…and they actually came!  We had dinner and desert on Friday, beach on Saturday and “traded” photography sessions on Sunday!  Had such a blast with new friends!    I love meeting new photographers along my journeys…..and its so rewarding to actually make new friends like Christy and Jasen.  Did I mention they are badass photographers too?!?!  Check them out:  http://www.studiomoirae.com

Here is my fave shot from the Phoenix Photog Shootout!

Here are couple shots from our San Diego photography session.

Of course we got some awesome family pictures in San Diego with Christy and Jasen!

After almost 6 months of a min-vacation, finally I shot a “real job.”    April and May are prime season for engagement pictures, which is then followed by weddings.  So I met up with Brooke and Frank for their Ocean City Maryland engagement photos.  We had the most interesting time.  We shared many laughs.  There were many firsts.

So while walking on the beach Brooke says, “Why does it look like that guy is getting a blow job over there?”  I looked and replied, “Because he is!”  Yes…430pm…on a Sunday….a man was getting a BJ!  It was crazy!  Then later on Brooke and Frank were pooped on by a random sea gull flying over head!  Haha!  Life as a wedding photographer is never dull!
