Casino Night Corporate Holiday Party {San Diego Event Photographer}

It's always fun shooting events where there's gambling, a buffet and open bar ! It makes for some very fun times ! This corporate event was held in a private room at Dave & Buster's San Diego. It was all Swanky Monte Carlo inside the room, and crazy Whack-a-Mole and Dance Dance Revolution outside. Very interesting ....

 

Omni La Costa Hair Contest Styled Session {La Costa Carlsbad Photographer}

A few weeks ago, I was asked by Salon at +Omni La Costa Resort & Spa hair stylist, Lora Farrell, to shoot for her on a styled session. The images would be submitted to a Eufora International Style Contest. 

Hairstylist: Lora Farrell

Salon: Salon at Omni La Costa Resort
Clothing provided by: La Costa Spa, Audrey's Boutique, Coastal Dunes

Models: Serenity Gonzales, Davyd Farrell, Marc Therrien, Lupe Urquidez & Rosie Samoy

Lora shot the "Before" images below, prior to their cut, color and styling. The "After" images were shot by me in one of the ballrooms at Omni La Costa Resort. Lora wanted an edgy look that would highlight the hairstyles and create an overall funky image. I think we did pretty good !
