Recently we embarked on a journey down to Mexico to perform a little volunteer work with Rancho Vista Church. This video sums up the day of serving lunch and giving away donated clothing, shoes, and blankets. It’s humbling to see how other parts of the world live and we are grateful that we can do our part, even if it is relatively small in the big picture. If you’re interested in volunteering, there will be another trip in about three months. You can contact Rancho Vista Church and let them know you’d like to participate.
As professional photographers we often get posed the question, “Where is a good place to have a photo shoot?” Here in San Diego California, there are so many wonderful places that it really depends on what you like. One of our favorites is Balboa Park which is next to the San Diego Zoo, and really close to the Gaslamp District in Downtown San Diego.
Balboa Park is not just for visitors and tourists, but us locals too! There are so many extraordinary museums to see, the grounds are immaculately groomed, and the Architecture is amazing. We go at least once a month with the family not including our photography gigs. But what a spectacular setting. (Could be why we run into so many other professional photographers while there).
Want more details: Check out the Balboa Park website: http://www.balboapark.org to see all that it offers, then let us know if that’s where you want to have your next photo session.

Ok, to show you an example, we uploaded a picture of our friends Mark and Sean. You may remember them from our ’What’s my line?’ contest. They are working on launching thier new R & J BBQ Sauce.
After uploading the photo, the site allows you to drop and drag some extra props to, how should we say, enhance your photograph. Here’s what we came up with after a couple of small modifications.
Maybe we went a bit overboard….just a little…
