Newlyweds

It's our eleventh anniversary, well actually about a month ago. As any parent knows, it's common to put the litte tots before yourself and this was no exception since March was a busy Birthday month. Nonetheless, the wife and I made a trip into San Francisco, sans children. It's amazing how much we were able to do in so little time when the only people we had to dress and feed were ourselves.

We joked about getting upgraded at the Palace hotel and were pleasantly surprised to get the Presidential suite. A pang of guilt surged through us as thoughts of the children running circles in the living room, swimming in the whirlpool and vegging in front of one of two flat screen televisions crossed our minds.

My wife allowed part of the festivities to include a photo shoot of my favorite model. With few people around, we got a number of nice shots in a few minutes before bed.

Eleven years goes by fast and it's fun knowing that, assuming the children don't cause my early demise, we're still in the beginning of our marriage.

Happy Anniversary Honey!

(Babe) Photography Tips: Lately, I've shunned natural light to go with strobes. Particularly indoors when the room is lit with chandeliers (pretty common right?), the illumination is very even and therefore pretty flat. So a judicious use of a flash gave emphasis to the glowing face I wake up next to each morning. When doing flash photography indoors, always balance your flash (~5500K, or the equivalent of the noon sun) to the ambient (~2800K in this case which is warmer than a typical tungsten environment). If you don't know what that means, I'm just saying that light sources can be like your children - the same fundamental genes yet strikingly different.
