Whew.. I have completed my first Bay Area shoot and boy am I relieved. As I was driving to Danville the sky was cloudy and off in the distance were some really ugly storm clouds and I thought for sure that this shoot was going to be a bust but there was no way I was letting a little rain ruin this shoot for me… I was going to have some fun in spite of it!

As it turns out this Bay Area fogginess makes for the most perfect soft light. Here I was.. worried sick about change, I didn’t have my sunny San Diego sky, I didn’t have my normal locations, and I didn’t have the pier!  Here I was worried about the quality of light and all of this time spent worrying, I missed out on some pretty awesome stuff. I shot in one square blog about 3 mins from my house.. In San Diego it would have been at least 25mins of driving to get all of these cool textures. They say change is good, I think they’re right.
