Summer In San Clemente | Fujifilm X-T2

Malibu Girl | XT2

Not too far down in Malibu is this fancy little mall they call the Malibu County Mart. It’s a nice little escape from the over crowded city that is Los Angeles, but also is a great place for the little one to explore.
Using A New Workflow WIth Aurora HDR

With the introduction of Aurora HDR into my workflow, editing has become significantly more efficient and quicker. However, it now requires the use of three different programs (Lightroom, Photoshop, and Aurora HDR) to achieve all the desired results. I could probably get everything I needed done in just Photoshop and Aurora, or just Lighroom and Aurora, but Lightroom…

Fujifilm X-Pro 2 | Beautiful Imperfections

The X100F seems to have taken the biggest step forward of any of the X100 camera upgrades with a new 24MP sensor and new battery for improved life and performance. Not only that but the X100F is also…
Sunset Over Palm Springs & An Annoying A7rII

I pulled out my ol Sony A7rII again. I had to take a break from it for awhile and focus on some of my Fujifilm lens reviews. You know, I never did a full review on the Sony A7r II. Weird right? But there is a good reason . . . I don’t really love…
Little Noodle Monster & A Homemade Studio

I’m by no means a professional studio photographer and come to find out, you don’t have to be to get some great shots. So ignore the ego of most photographers, this is actually pretty easy if you already have a decent understanding of photography and lighting. The Photoshop is the hardest part. So for those…
