If you didn’t know, I have been flying back and forth between Los Angeles and Oregon all summer to shoot weddings in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I have the great pleasure of having a room waiting for me in the house I grew up in. My parents live on a beautiful property right outside of Corvallis, surrounded by farm fields and complete with 80+ backyard blueberry bushes to graze over. It is the perfect Yin to my busy Los Angeles Yang. I also attribute a lot of my sunny, free spirited photographic style to this special place. I flew in last Friday to shoot Lisa and Steve’s wedding at the Inn at Diamond Woods (Diamond Woods Golf Course, Monroe Oregon) and I’ll be here through August 4th shooting more weddings and portraits!
But on to today’s excitement! This afternoon I was having a picnic in the back yard with my absolute favorite nephew in the whole world, Mr. Jack Danger, when I noticed the UPS truck drive down our little street. I ran out front and sure enough, my new prime lens had arrived! Busy wedding filled summers, mean an excuse for me to continue bulking up with only the finest equipment out there to give my clients only the highest quality. I cut open the medium sized brown box to reveal the super awesome Canon 35mm 1.4L, meanwhile Jack had already moved on to bigger and better things… aka the trampoline. Here’s some of the first shots with this wide eyed beauty (the lens I mean, but the little guy too). Can’t wait to take it out on the field!
ps. Jack actually took the one of me! Pretty good for a 2 1/2 year old 
pss. This first one is Jack landing a belly flop, also pretty good for a 2 1/2 year old?
