Tony and Lelia wanted to include their Rat Terrier, making this something more like a family photo-session. I usually don't recommend including pets in an engagement session, but their furry friend was super nice and easy to work with. We had a blast!

You can also see my other online galleries, at the Expressive Photographics website. Just click this link.
In this session we photographed at Panther Beach, and downtown Santa Cruz.

This final image may be some sort of 60's flashback. Even though I was just a little kid in the 60's, I think I was artistically influenced by the music - Beatles, Steppinwolf etc - and all the cool record album art. I have been collecting images of interesting textures and colors for use as overlays in photoshop. I was browsing through my texture images of flowers, when these flowers seemed to almost jump off the computer screen at me. With a bit of experimentation and perhaps more than a little photoshop know-how, this was my result!
