Looking back on 2007

Later next week I will be able to post a super secret Christmas session I did, but I have to wait till they open their presents on Christmas so I don't ruin the surprise. :)

In the meantime, some friends of mine on a photography forum I frequent have been posting their top 10 favorite images from 2007, and I thought I would do the same on my blog. It's a fun way to remember things that happened earlier in the year and all the fun I've had.

Without further ado, here are my top 10 of 2007:

10.



This image I took of Aaron during Granite Hills' mens volleyball season is one of my favorites. that kid can spike for sure! And his vertical jump is amazing!

9.



This image of Aaron from The Stranger's Six is from the first show I shot this year, and is still one of my favorites. He's really fun to watch sing. :)

8.



Ahh, my good friend Meg and her fiance now husband David. They had an out of town wedding in Lake Tahoe that I attended as a guest but they had me do their engagement session while they were home visiting because they wanted it at the Hotel Del on Coronado. They are so cute!

7.



I love love LOVE this image I took of my brother for during his senior photoshoot. Sun flare is one of my favorite things to work with and I love how this image turned out. It's one of my brother's favorites too.

6.



This image was shot up north at a winery during OSPWest, a photo conference for the same forum I mentioned earlier. I met so many fantastic people that I converse with on a daily basis, and learned so much! This shot was my favorite from that whole weekend.

5.



Let's ride bikes! This is from Adam and Chelsea's engagement session. they brought a two-seater bike and it fit perfectly, because Adam has a cd out called "Let's Ride Bikes". They rode it around Balboa Park for a little bit and this was my favorite from that set.

4.



Trashing the Dress! Okay, so this dress isn't trashed yet, but it was on it's way. This is from the San Diego Trash the Dress I coordinated with 30 other photographers and about 10 models. It was so much fun! We'll be having another one in January at the Salton Sea that I'm very very excited for!

3.



Here's David and Meg again! Just because I wasn't shooting the wedding didn't mean I didn't take any photos. :) And I just adore this one. Meg looks so radiant!

2.



My number 2 image is from Adam and Chelsea's wedding. They had such a remarkable wedding and it was so emotional and beautiful. This is from their first dance.

And the number one image of the year......



Another from Adam and Chelsea's wedding! This one is Chelsea dancing with her dad during the father/daughter dance. Chelsea and her dad have a close relationship and it was so touching to see their bond while they were out on the dance floor. This one gives me goosebumps every time I look at it. :)



So there it is! My top 10 images from 2007. Next week I will have that secret Christmas session plus a few photos from a benefit show that Stereo Summer played last week for Richard Varshock, who was burned in the October wildfires.

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!
