Queen Bee and the Bodyguard (Matthews’ Crew)

Christopher — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 18:20:47 +0000

Easter weekend was spent with the Matthews’ Crew in Balboa Park. It has been a year since we last got to play around with the kids and yes, time flies!! We met up in the parking lot and within seconds Liam was out of the car armed with his bubble gun and mini Ray Ban Aviators, ready to protect his lil sis who was bundled up in this awesome fuzzy yellow and black striped jacket and a hot pink tutu, not to be missed!! They, as with all kids, were loaded with energy and personality and were so much fun. Izzy was convinced there were dinosaurs behind the roll up doors when the organ was being played and tried so hard to get a glimpse. super cute. But like I said, Liam was armed and ready for any dinosaur hiding out in the park.

The true bubble master. Look at the intensity and concentration on his face. Amazing.

(wait for the above animation to load, otherwise it’s a really crappy image. :)

Can’t wait for Number 3 on the way early this summer. Congratulations guys!!

Hey! This is Bri…first post on my own, oh boy!!!

This Friday I got to hang out with Jay Reilly and some other really cool photographers up in Oceanside. We had the luxury to photograph some supermodels having a blast on the beach and around town on a perfect spring break afternoon. Its really amazing the amount of energy these little guys have, I mean they kept going and going and going and couldn’t get enough camera time!!!

Thanks to everyone for being so awesome!!!

(uh oh… first hair, now photography. Really?! How can you possibly be better than me at all of my hobbies?! You better stay away from my Mash Tun. :)

All the way from Las Vegas to the Carlsbad Flower fields – the Panissidi family really know how to laugh and have a fun time! I mean look at the images! Most of the time I was just their paparazzi there to capture them having a blast. Such a fun time and great first trip to the fields!

JAM-Boys Summer Surf Days (video)

With all these new Nikon HD Cameras I figured it was time to brush up on my video editing skills. Plus I needed a little break from all of my still shot editing – then again maybe I should have gone for a run instead? Dang!

Anyway, I’ve used a number of video editing software in the past, like iMovie, Final Cut Express and Pro, but I had yet to try Adobe Premier. Which I just happened to have sitting (untouched – and forgotten about) on my hard drive since last year.

With a fresh shot of West Bean Espresso in me, I fired up Premier and went to town! Okay maybe not “to town” more like out to the mailbox and back. After all, I do have a few assignments still pending. (:

I grabbed the first video I could find, some really bad video from my trusty and old Pentax Optio W30 waterproof digital camera that my nephews and I shot a couple years ago. By the way, I am sure I’ll pay for scaring the crap out of my nephew Justin – some day.

A couple hours later I’ve got a burnt DVD for the nephews and new passion for video! Here’s a little sample – be nice – it’s my first one!

Francis – the newest awesomest little rockstar!

It may have taken a few minutes (hours) to get to her used to the idea of being the center of attention, but boy once she did….

The Power of Grandpa

The strongest little man I know. It took seeing Grandpa to even let go a little.
