I gotta tell you, it’s really difficult spending the afternoon with a gorgeous girl. It’s even tougher when that girl is totally cool. But someone has to do it, and it might as well be me, right?

Today, I photographed Tasia, this really, really ridiculously good looking girl. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s fun too. We had a blast snapping photos all over Balboa Park. I was jazzed too because the weather was so gorgeous. I had a few minor lighting issues, but her friend was there to help out. And hey, a few lighting issues is better than having it rain and not being able to shoot at all. I’m knocking on my desk right now as we speak when I tell you that I always get lucky with the weather. :) And as we speak, the rain is coming down outside.

Anyway, here are some samples from the shoot. More can be seen in my Picasa Gallery.

It was a couple of weeks ago when we picked up our tree and decked it out. Now, two weeks later, my car is STILL full of pine needles and sand (from the photo shoot earlier that day)…and our tree still looks gorgeous.

So I’m mostly posting this for Brian (sorry, Flor)…but here is the latest cover of Shape…and look who’s on it:

None other than American Idol’s Katharine McPhee. And she does look amazing.

So I was in a sort of random mood when I was watching this commercial. But hey, it’s cute and I think the music adds a little whimsy to it. And who doesn’t like a hot, fresh cinnamon roll?
