Julian, Ca (exploring)

May 10, 2013 Posted in Sellfy/Travel/Fun

Between the mountains of San Diego county, lies one vintage, best in the world apple pie village- Julian.
For years I would go back there just for the atmosphere and its old fashion vibe, it’s a small neighborhood of friendly mom and pop’s shops and restaurants, wineries, horse back riding,
hiking, and just apple pie lovers.
I have been traveling for a while and did not have a change to see my honey, so yesterday we made our way to Julian for a small day trip get away!
We visited Menghini winery, where we were the only guests, we tried out 6 different wines and bought couple bottles, talked about our passions to music and photography. Zach even
sang couple of his songs. We had such great day! I really recommend for anyone with passion to adventure to make thier way to Julian one day!

Here are couple of photos from our day trip

Estela Magazine – Beauté Issue

May 1, 2013 Posted in Fashion, Portraits, Press

After discovering Estela Magazine I knew right the way what I want to shoot and who is the perfect person to contact! After only couple of sentences exchanged between Amanda and I (Amanda – talented make up and hair artist) she knew exactly what to create, it was beyond what I imagined, she took my idea to a whole new level!
Shoot took place at one of Amanda’s friends house with all natural light used. Even when I shoot glam or beauty, I use window light.
I used my Nikon D700 and 50mm lens.

After I presented images to Estela editor, they couldn’t be more happier with result.
All thanks to wonderful team
