About Me

Hey Zak here!  You have just landed on my blog.  A place where I will share recent photos, personal experiences, and possibly a little humor.  If you would like to know a bit more about me click on "About" below.  So sit back look around and feel free to leave a comment. :)

Well like I said yesterday I would and will blog today! *pats back* :) A few months back I did a session for a modeling/acting portfolio...and guess what...these lil cuties got a gig! Yep they will be on Scrubs later this season and hopefully I can get some video via YouTube that I'll post up after the episode airs. You can check them out on jetsetmodels.com at the bottom of the page. Here are a few shots we used for their audition. Way to go boys! :)

How freakin' cute are THEY?? Look at those tight little curls, love 'em! :)
Way to go on rock'n out their model portfolio. How cool will it be to see them on Scrubs and be able to say, 'Yeah..those are my clients" *shrug* (Be sure to act very nonchalant to enhance your coolness factor)

Merry Christmas!

Chris and I have been friends since elementary school, which is a loooong time ago! Over the years we have shared many a good times, but these last few years have been especially awesome! We both have started families and even though we live many states apart it's nice to watch our families grow. So when Chris and his family came out to run the AFC Half Marathon with me, they thought it would be a perfect time to update the family album. I couldn't agree more! The beach was a tad foggy when we started, but that didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves.

Chris:

Yes, it has been a long time. 4th grade, Mr. Stones class. Lots of cherished memories and great times. And so very true, the past few years of seeing our families grow have been awesome too. As usual, great job here. We love every one of these photos. Thank you again Zak, we had a great time.

(09.14.09 @ 10:30 PM)

(09.15.09 @ 07:27 AM)
Rachael Earl:

So fun! I love that swing shot-pure happiness!

(09.15.09 @ 12:32 PM)
greta, smitten:

love them!!! i'm really liking your editing style too! it's subtle, and it's really cohesive with your style of shooting. that probably only makes sense in my head... oh well!! :) that dog shot cracks me up, looks like he's doing the awkward dance you do when you and someone else are trying to sidestep each other but keep sidestepping the same way at the same time.... lol

(09.16.09 @ 11:23 AM)
Jeannie:

What a boatload of fun you captured! Lovely family!

AllisonS:

I love when a family isn't completely matchy matchy! They look great in the bright colors! I hope you or sylvia are still taking photos by the time I have kids :)

(10.20.09 @ 09:28 AM)
So Chris is all like "I can do a cartwheel!" and I'm all "dude you better!" then he's all "it's gonna rock!" and I'm like "totally dude!" That's how it happened cuz that's how we roll in SoCal! :)

(09.07.09 @ 10:21 PM)
Manana is Spanish for Sunday evening night right? If you have no idea what I'm talking about check the next post down. :) Anyways on to some awesomeness! A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting up with the way cute Borgo family! Sylvia is a San Diego based awesome photographer, so I knew this shoot was gonna be a hoot...and boy was I right. I left wet, sandy, and longing for some cotton candy. More on that later. We met up at Belmont Park in Mission Beach, and man oh man was it hopping for a Sunday evening! I can't wait to take our kiddos back soon! Wow that's a lot of text up there for me, so how about some pictures? :)
I really love these first two! Pure motherly love! :)

Their youngest was in total awe of the rides! Pretty cool way to spend a Sunday evening right?

The top one about sums up every parents life...loving moment...bam! Kiddo dead ahead now 12 o'clock!

I think this one is my new all time fav family photo! Well the second one is pretty cute too! :)
beach family photos 7.jpg
Yeah and I like this one too...hmmm I have a problem being decisive...just ask Jennifer.
beach family photos 8.jpg
Don't ever ask a young boy for cotton candy and expect a very big piece! :)

Then we headed to the water for a little fun before we chased the sun away!

A photographer friend and I keep talking about swapping family sessions, but you know.... we never get around to it. After seeing these, THAT'S IT. Not only are we actually going to do it, I'm going to suggest we do it once a year. Sylvia, your family is adorable! I just LOVE these images!!!!
