Last Thursday my friend Edmund Prieto hosted a get together for photographers at his house. The day was filled with learning, laughing, over-competitive volleyball, and barbecuing among others. To help explain the day a little better, Edmund gave me permission to use some of his photos from his house. Be sure to check out his perception of the day by clicking on his emboldened name.
The day started off when we set up a photo booth in Edmund’s house to record everyone who was there. Although everyone present in these photos had to pose quick, keep in mind that their poses show a bit of their true character. Good or bad, please judge them! :] Edmund and my girl Sarina are too thug. Bethany Murphy was doin’ work on the hamburgers I might add.
Morgan Taylor and Edmund Prieto. Super heroes…I think.

Jennifer Tuttle and Kristin Booth in a conference call. Too busy these days.

I had so much fun doing the egg-toss challenge and watching everyone get hyped up. Here we are lined up just before the tossing began. Little did they know, they would all be defeated!
The concentration.
The fail.

And the winners! I was partnered with my new friend Jocelyn Kamura, and let me tell you, this girl has SKILL. I really thought that one of us would make a mistake early in the game, but to my surprise we tossed until all of the other couples dropped their egg. A big thank you to [b] school for donating a couple of shirts and a free membership. Represent.
Another big thank you to ShootSac for donating a bag to be raffled off! I know this seems sketchy but I won the raffle as well. I’ll tell you this though: never in my life have I won a raffle, big or small. I was completely shocked to have won this awesome bag. It really makes photography a lot easier so buy one! That’s soda.

After a few hours of fun at Edmund’s house we proceeded to Lucerne Valley to photograph Christin and Johnny; and what a beautiful marriage they have! Thank you so much for donating your time Christin and Johnny. In addition, thank you to O.C Prop Girl for styling and supplying all of the props used.



Inception.

Another big thank you to Kaycee Marie for doing such a great job on the model’s hair and makeup!
One point I made for this day was to photograph different people in addition to Johnny and Christin. I feel that you can interpret a photograph and day differently when different people are being used in the same way.
Kaycee Marie: the stylist.
The male model present: Antonio
I must say that his car was a pretty good prop!
My friend Christopher, or Lil’ June, was also present for the shoot so I wanted to document him as well. He’s a really laid back person who is really talented at rapping and drama games! I’ve known him for just a short time, but I already have mad respect for him. I was definitely digging his tattoos and the skin tones that black people produce. Love them.
Here is everyone that attended at the closing of Thursday! Dirt on our pants, we came back with wonderful images. I encourage you to check out each photographers pictures from this day by clicking on their emboldened names.
