We absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE all things Vintage and Pinup, as you all know. And last year we decided to enter our very first Pinup Calendar Photo Contest, and much to our surprise, we WON! Because YStudio is a husband and wife team, we were thrilled that each of us had a winning image published in the PL Lifestyle 2011 Pinup Calendar.
And…………we were ecstatic when I received a called from Desiree of PL Magazine, asking ME to shoot the cover image for their 2012 Calendar!! Are you kidding me? OF COURSE!!! We set up the shoot for a date in November and although it was a bit of a rainy day, we were able to get some fab images.
The hair and makeup team of The Pinup Parlor in Berkeley, CA made this all complete, along with a custom made couture dress made this shoot a lot of fun and needless to say, beautiful and timeless!
Seen here is the cover image selected by the magazine (photographed in Berkeley, CA), as well as a few of other favorites from this shoot… COMING SOON!!! Please support the magazine by purchasing your very own Pinup Calendar……you can BUY HERE!!!!

Here is a gorgeous, colorful, and lively Indian wedding I shot as a second shooter for my good friend and colleague, Josh Rodriguez. Josh is a seasoned pro in this market, and I was thrilled when he asked if I could assist. It was a great opportunity and I was happy to see a wedding in a whole new way!
The bride and groom, their friends, and families all arrived early in the morning to prepare for this day and it was fun to see all the details and events unfold. The ceremony took place in a lovely outdoor garden at the Palmdale Estates in Fremont, CA. I had never experienced an entire wedding ceremony of the culture, and it was refreshing to see all of the different rituals done, and learn their meaning (provided by a very funny and wise priest).
I would like to thank Josh as well as the bride and groom and their families to whom all I am grateful for allowing me to share in this ever so important milestone. Enjoy the photos……

A few weeks back I had the opportunity to shoot as a second for Francis Higgins, a local wedding photographer. The bride and groom got ready on the morning of their wedding day at the fabulous boutique style Hotel Vitale. It was exciting to meet such vibrant friends and families as we prepared, photographed, and awaited the “first look” before their ceremony.
Pleae click “PLAY” if the slideshow does not work automatically…..ENJOY!!! And many congrats to the happy and LOVELY couple!!

Meet Amber and Chris a great looking and fun loving couple who have known each other since high school!
During the month of August, Chris got down on one knee at Oakland’s Morcom Rose Garden and asked his best friend Amber to take his hand in marriage! I don’t like spoiling the ending of any movie so you will have to see it for yourself to see what her answer was.
Congratulations Amber & Chris…..
Enjoy a sneak peek of a fun filled morning engagement at Oakland’s College Avenue and the Morcom Rose Garden.
