New Equipment - SB-800 flash.

We can't wait to get our hands on the new SB 800 strobe to replace the SB 28, now my flash can communicate directly with my camera for properly balanced fill light. We are looking forward to trying some strobist off-camera lighting techniques too, more for our fashion and model photography than our events but fun none the less.

Bay to Breakers, San Francisco

Wow, what a year this was!! We arrived a bit late and hung towards the back of the crowd but the fun costumes and characters never seemed to end. A few of our favorites were the animal band, group of Elvis's and Glenda with the Wicked Witch in the park. The arrest in the panhandle led to some great photos as well. The crowd was chanting "let him go" to the police who were leading away one of the partiers, the group of police jumped off their bikes very fast to calm the scene and it was over quickly. The whole event was very entertaining. We didn't finish this year but came pretty close. I think the pics we were able to get were worth the delay in our time. Hope you feel the same.

Dominican University Graduation 2008

Dominican University is a private Catholic unversity that is over 100 years old located in the hills of San Rafael and May 17th was the undergrad graduation in their beautiful amphitheater. They had their largest graduating class in the school's history and friends and family came out to see their special someone walk across the stage. The weather was hot with record temps but the school passed out personalized paper fans and some of the guests were lucky enough to be seated in the shade if they arrived early enough...the others were not so lucky. The colors of the flags, gown decorations and the smiles within the group produced some wonderful pics. Let us know what you think.

A bit about us!

Hello All,

We thought it might be good to start our blogger life with a little tid bit about us. The husband and wife team behind Lamoreaux Photography.

Julene - I absolutely love photography but it didn't start that way. I opened a Wedding and special event planning company in 2004. Prior to that I worked in the accounting department of a software company in downtown San Francisco and that was so blah. I was in cubicle hell as most creative people will understand.

The party planning was the best. I was able to meet different people from all over the world (as I worked a lot with destination brides), be creative and really build a bond with the couple. When their event was executed I felt such pride as they departed fully thrilled, on the natural high from their event. I've met great people and made great friends over the years. As time went on I made wonderful contacts with award wining photographers. I learned a lot from them and felt a strong pull towards that industry.

I started with basic photography of events, candids and portraits with the hope of being able to document a wedding one day. It has been a new adventure learning about photography. It's like a whole new world, industry and frame of mind. I feel that my background will really assist me with knowing what a client is looking for in their photography. My style is a bit different. I tend to stick with creative, photojournalistic photos. The kind where you don't know I am there but I am watching and clicking away.


Curtis - Coming soon!

Thanks for your interest. Hopefully we will be able to work together in the future. Stay tuned for more updates on our new blog!!!

XOXOXO - The Lamoreaux's
