Last weekend was the Lord of the Wind kite competition in Los Barriles, BCS Mexico. This years event went really great! We had wind every day and organizers were able to pulloff course and slalom racing, freestyle and big air events. Kiters came from all over North America as well as France and they rode everything from off the shelf twin tips to the…
I had a fun shooting the Lord of the Wind Showdown here in Los Barriles last weekend. We had 2 days of pretty good wind allowing for course and slalom racing, the long distance “Showdown,” freestyle and big air contests. Congratulations to Brian Lake for winning the Showdown this year. And a huge thanks to the Rotary Los Barriles Cabo Este, Postal Annex, The…
I love beach weddings anyway, but this one I must say, was da bomb! Shelby and Mark are two beautiful people, inside and out. And when two people like this find each other I just think it’s magical. They planned their wedding where Shelby spent her winters throughout her childhood, the small Mexican town of Los Barriles, about 90 minutes North of Cabo on…
Those of you who know me know how I LOVE windsports! I love kiteboarding and windsurfing wherever and whenever I can. I live in two windy locations on purpose! The California Delta in the summer and Baja in the winter. It’s been a crazy windy June so far and I really like to sail the morning after shooting a wedding. Its really the best…
I really enjoyed photographing Sara and Chris’ wedding at Oak Farm Vineyards! Super sweet families and friends in attendance and I think Sara was one of the mellowest brides I’ve ever photographed. Sara and Chris chose to do the ‘First Look’ and then take a majority of the family photos before the ceremony. They did their own flowers and favors and invitations, and brought…
I liked Michele and Greg from the get-go. They stepped into my studio as my clients and I felt as if they left as my friends. Always seeking adventure in their lives, they decided to trust my suggestion that they fly to Southern Baja for their engagement session. I’ve been spending my winters about an hour north of Cabo since 1989 and I just…
Since the early 90’s my husband and I have been spending our winters in Baja. We are very thankful to live in such a beautiful place with so many amazing things to do! For the second time this year we joined a boatload of friends and swam with whale sharks just outside of the Bay of La Paz. The whale sharks like to hang…
I had a great time photographing the Granger family last week on the beach here in Los Barriles. It was great to watch the family dynamics and see them all together. Fran and Bill and the boys… Oh…and this is where a dog came up and peed on my camera bag! Check their expressions! And after I took care of that…a group tickle And…
I think this is my favorite image from the competition.
Every so often I take a break from shooting weddings and portraits to photograph some outrageous events and conferences. It’s been a lot of work and a ton of fun shooting the 2013 Lord of the Wind kiteboarding and windsurfing event here in Los Barriles, BCS Mexico. The wind, sun and sand make it tough, but the people of this community make it all…
