Lisa and Derek | Engagement

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of meeting Lisa and Derek for the first time. We met up with Lisa and Derek at Lick Mill Park in Santa Clara close to where the two currently resides. The late day sun lit up the canopies of the surrounding trees which made for an awesome backdrop. Lisa and Derek’s easy going and friendly nature completes the recipe for some deliciously fun pictures. We ended the session in downtown San Jose before Derek had to run off for a poker tournament. Check out a few picks from the session below and hit up the slideshow for more from the day.

Showit Sites Preview

As many of my friends know, we love how modern web technology are helping friends and family stay updated and in touch with one another. Tools such as twitter and blogs represent some what I am talking about about.In the realm of modern business, one of the most critical tool to allow potential clients to be able to view and connect with your work is an online web presence. However, getting a cool, dynamic and customized one usually take a lot of time, knowledge and/or money. Enter Showit sites.David Jay is an awesome photographer who also makes some of the most useful tools we use here at DavidHam. We received an invitation from David Jay to get together and figure out what we photographers needed in a website design tool. It was awesome to meet and be able to influence the design of a tool that will allow for anyone to be able to easily create a dynamic and very customizable website without having to know any flash, html or css. From the looks of the current beta and insight into where David Jay and his team is taking the tool, it will be a good one indeed.A quick snap with David Jay before we left for the night.David Jay and David of DavidHamAnd one of our favorite photography starlet, Jasmine Star and her hubby JD. I didn’t get to tell Jasmine that she looks fabulous that night and JD is just so down to earth. Wish we could had more time to chat. I have lots of questions to ask and simply adore you two.Jasmine Star, her hubby JD and me in the middle
