Baja

Here I am! What a wonderful place. Hiking, swimming, and venturing out into the rural desert has made for a wonderful week thus far.

Baja

I'm traveling again! Give me a little free time, and it's hard to stay still! Before starting back up with weddings at the end of January, I've decided to take a 12 day foray down to Baja. I'll be meeting up with a friend in La Paz to enjoy the sunshine, kayaking, and working on my Spanish.

I'll be away from Jan 10th- Jan 22nd. While I'm hoping to have access to the internet, I might be a little harder to reach than usual, and print orders during this time will be fulfilled when I get back on the 22nd.

I'll do my best to take some great pictures while I'm gone!

Yosemite

Just got back from a fantastic trip to Yosemite. The winter weather blew in a ton of snow and made for some amazing winter landscapes. After traveling all over the world, Yosemite still has to be one of my favorite places, and one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Here is a great scene of Half Dome overlooking the Merced River down in the valley.

Masy and Chris Wedding Album Design

Here's another design for Masy and Chris. They've gone with the great matted album that I offer, produced by a company called Queensberry out of Australia. It's a simple, clean look that's classic, and absolutely gorgeous. Certainly one of the most beautiful albums in the world once it all comes together. I'll be sure to post some images once I get the final product back. Here are a few of the layouts I put together for them.

Mike and Lorrel Album Design

As the New Year starts off, I have a new album design to share. December and January is often the time where I get to meet new clients, catch up on other work, and take a little bit of time for myself (we all need it ;). Mike and Lorrel's wedding was more than a year ago- and I was happy to create a wonderful album for them, just in time for the new baby they are expecting! Here are a few spreads from their 40 page magazine style album.

Christmas deadlines

Thank you to all of our wonderful clients! As Christmas is just around the corner, we realize that some of you may be eager to get a few last minute prints for the holidays. While the printing deadline for our lab has passed, feel free to send your orders in, and we'll get to them as soon as possible. Enjoy the holiday season, and we'll get everything finished as soon as possible!

Lab orders for prints can still be finished in time for New Year's, while all album orders will start production in the first week of January. All the best from Hawthorne Photography, and Happy Holidays!

Baby photos

After shooting tons of weddings, it was only fitting that I try a few photos with the little kids. Working with the two little ones from the Mogul family was more fun than I've had in a while. They were so active, and ohhhh soooo cute. I suppose I could try a few more shoots by special request, so if you're up for it, let me know!
