I work with Jeff at the station, and was excited when he and his wife asked for this session.  I knew it was going to be good!  Jeff is always good for a laugh.  He’s a producer at our station who is really great at heckling people.. especially the directors and anchors.  Okay, so he’s a great producer and father too.. but heckling is what I know!  You see, before we stopped using physical tapes for the newscasts, the shows used to be a lot more, uh.. ‘vocal’ on the intercom.  I used to load the tapes for his shows, and he and I used to play off each other upping the harassment of the good-natured directors.  We still find opportunities to harass when it’s called for… like when we find out co-workers haven’t seen movies that ALL Americans should see, like It’s A Wonderful Life!

We decided to meet at the beautiful Hart Park.  I had actually never been there!  I’ve lived in Bakersfield now for a combined 7 years or so, and people couldn’t believe I hadn’t been there.. neither could I!  Wow this place is nice.  If I haven’t been to a shoot location before, if I can, I usually like to show up beforehand to ‘size up the joint.’  Melissa and I made the short trek out there a couple times to figure out a good place to shoot.  I couldn’t decide!  No wonder its a favorite for Bakersfield photographers!

I love the way this session came together.  I hope you enjoy it, we certainly did!

We fumbled our way around the breathtakingly beautiful Cambria, California to find the spot.  You know, the one that looks like a little piece of heaven on earth.

Gorgeous sunset, a little breeze, and Bakersfield’s finest—The Short Family. Christopher is a charming one-of-a-kind drummer, and Kate is his perfect match with a voice that belongs in a choir of angels. Together, they are harmony.

And they make ADORABLE kids!

Our second location was a cliff overlooking the beautiful beach and sunset.  It was chilly and windy, but the moment we placed little Emmrie Jane Short inside that bass drum… peace!  Everyone felt it.  Mom and Dad stood proud. Emmrie explored her surroundings, gave us a few big smiles, and a whole lot of drool!

We are so blessed to be a part of this new chapter in the Short family’s lives, and are eagerly awaiting the seasons to come. Here are some of our favorite shots from our day in Cambria…

Last Friday, Melissa and I had the pleasure of hanging out with Sadie and her daughter Roxy. These two were so fun and energetic! It was a little warm, and since the grass had recently been watered, it was also humid… So.. sweaty me of course! I still had a lot of fun, even when Roxy was chasing me around!

“Let’s meet at the Apple Shed.”  I had no idea what that ment.  I thought we were actually going to meet at a shed full of bushels and Fujis.  I’m not familiar with Tehachapi, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.  I really enjoyed myself that day though!  I got to meet Amy’s son BC [...]

“Let’s meet at the Apple Shed.”  I had no idea what that ment.  I thought we were actually going to meet at a shed full of bushels and Fujis.  I’m not familiar with Tehachapi, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.  I really enjoyed myself that day though!  I got to meet Amy’s son BC who was in town from Georgia.  After the session, we all got to sit around talking about food, prisons, xbox gaming and HyperboleAndAHalf.com.  Now.. If you’re not familiar with this site check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
