Photography de Rêve: A Day At The Beach

Hot summer day? Time to go to the beach... and do a photo shoot! That's exactly what we did on what turned out to be one of the hottest days we've had so far this summer. Albeit with our micro-climates, even on a mercury boiling day, the girls were cold at the beach as you can see above. Anyway, traffic was horrendous so it took about 2 hours to drive 60 miles but once we got there we found a beautiful semi-secluded spot that was fortunately not crowded. After our adventure in San Francisco Bay Area traffic and lugging around 300lbs of photography gear (thanks Rick and Chris!) a quarter mile down the beach it was time to take some photos. What better than spending a day at the beach with three lovely ladies. As a side note Rick and Chris are two of my business partners and friends that assist me in my photographic endeavors. Additionally Chris videos all of our photo shoots. When the video is edited from this shoot I'll post it here.

Genevieve Chanelle (above) in one of my favorite shots of the day. My goal for the day was to create images with a fashion feel to them and this one, in my opinion, definitely hit that mark. We met Genevieve a little over a year ago and instantly knew she was ridiculously photogenic and would be very popular. Since then Genevieve has joined PM Girls and whenever we attend an event with her we can't go more than 10 feet before getting stopped by her fans.

Miss Meryll (above) in another one of my favorite shots from the day. Love shooting with Meryll... she hardly ever stops smiling :) If you ever get a chance to meet Meryll in person you'll learn that she has an infectious personality and is a blast to work with.
