We just returned from an AWESOME trip to Las Vegas for a wedding photographers convention. It’s always sooo inspiring to be around the best of the best in the industry, learning from them and sharing ideas.
We’ve got some exciting stuff happening behind the scenes right now and we’re amped for this year as it begins to ramp up more!
I believe my uncle recently shot me a copy of this video and it was one I hadn’t seen before. It made me laugh. (as many weddings as I’m at every year, I haven’t seen anything like this!)
I was hiking with some guys from the Faroe Islands this week and we were talking about the different wildlife you would see day-to-day when hiking the mountains of Santa Barbara.
Twice I got stumped… we were talking about how with birds, the colorful/beautiful ones are the males, unlike us awkward looking human males… and then we saw a Blue Jay, and one of the guys asked if that was the male… it got me to thinking… I’ve always just looked at Blue Jays and never really wondered as to whether or not it was one sex or another. (anyone know by the way, if there is a visual difference between male and female Blue Jays?)
Then, we saw this little guy that I took a picture of. I can’t for the life of me think of the right name for him… anyone know?
And finally, of course we saw some poison oak. There’s a TON of this stuff out there right now. At this point though, I’m thinking I must be one of the 10% who are not effected by poison oak, because I swear I’ve touched this stuff a hundred different times and never seen the adverse results.
Yikes! I’ve always found it funny how smaller photographers can easily become dwarfed by their camera bags.
Well, Cheryl snagged this quick shot of me in Santa Barbara shooting engagment pictures for Courtney and Doug this past week and it’s amazing how a nearly 200 pound man can disappear behind a camera bag! YIKES! (I think this might mean I need to get a rolling camera bag! Any suggestions??)
Courtney and Doug are getting married at the Firestone Vineyards in May and I’m super excited about their wedding!!!
I had the chance to shoot the hottest couple this week for their engagement session! We headed up to Knapp’s Castle on East Camino Cielo for some fun/elogant pictures!
We battled a rather large crowd of hikers/photographers, but ended up with some VERY epic shots!
Kyle and Debbie were the most AWESOME couple and we had a blast shooting with them!
Debbie has quite the fashion sense and was wearing some VERY fun stuff! Her dress is by Catherine Malandrino and she purchased it just for our shoot! Her shoes were by Christian Louboutin. (hehe, Kyle asked if I knew what any of this meant, I assured him I could appreciate the names) :-)
we’re gearing up for some additions to our business which include associate photographers here in Santa Barbara.
You can catch glimpses of what we are working on by checking out our HalbergPhotographers.com site. I believe for now there will just be an index page, but in the near future there should be some fun new stuff!
