Just wanted to share some shots of the new office/studio/gallery/meeting space. Whatever you want to call it, it’s our home away from home. It’s our sanctuary from toy madness and diapers piling up in the trash can. It’s where the work gets done. It’s our little corner of the world. It’s tiny but it’s ours.
Our little place is now pretty much done. We’ve had the space since February, but really only started working here about 4 weeks ago. We decided on a more subdued and chill feel. I went with modern lines with natural textures. Furniture is always a big debate between us, but I think we are at peace with things. I’m sure we’ll be adding and replacing things along the way, but for now, it’s good to go. And can I say that I love coming to work in the morning and getting stuff done!
I try to stay in the office on a consistent basis, but it gets random. I’m usually in from 8:30-5:30pm. If you’re ever near Tustin, swing on by. We’re near Old Town Tustin. Google Maps link.
Always looking at the kiddos. Both 16′”x16″ canvas. This is above my desk.
Our meeting area.
40″x60″ canvas. Thanks to Shiloah and Woolim for that awesome moment!
Our table.
Freaking love this sofa! My favorite piece.
Tey’s desk area complete with old-school boombox. Above is a 25″x55″ canvas of Jill & Troy.
The Dream Team. My backup system that I take home everyday (LaCie)
And here are some random textures and items around the office.
Hi People. Sharing time. I had the fortune of helping the Kimberly and Tami of All About You Events with some new headshots for their new website. Their new site looks amazing. I really love their very cool design! Check them out at: www.aayevents.com. Need some coordination/planning? Love to work with some great gals? Give them a call! I’ve seen them do all types of events from the big and fancy to the small and intimate, all with beautiful results! I always look forward to our next event together! Anyway, thanks Kimberly and Tami for all your support…hope you guys have an awesome year!
We’re off to Las Vegas to attend WPPI and by we, I mean all of us. Can you believe we are dragging the kiddies with us!?! We’ll see how that goes, but hopefully, it’s not too rough.
But anyway, we we’re doing an engagement shoot last week and all of a sudden, this BEAR came out of nowhere!! It was a big brown one…maybe it was a grizzly! But I got a shot of it…check it out.
We will be back Tuesday!! Have a great weekend!
We are on our way to the Philippines! A destination wedding turned into family vacation and we will be gone for about almost 3 weeks. I’m writing this as we are passing Hawaii and the two boys are knocked out. Peace and quiet only lasts so long :) I can probably write a thousand words on how tough it is to travel with two little boys but I will spare you the details. All you need to know is that it’s TOUGH!
Anyway, I’ll be working on the road since I have a few things to tie up while we’re away. Gotta love portable hard drives! So if you need to get a hold of me, please just email (jan@jangarcia.com) and I should get back to you in a few days.
Hopefully I’ll get to post some photos along the way.
One of my goals is to definitely invest into my own personal growth as a photographer. One of the best ways to do this is to attend seminars and workshops thrown by super talented photographers. It’s just a great way to get inspired, learn a ton in short period of time and collaborate with peers. The ANTI-workshop was so great for me last year, so, I’m trying to figure out what to attend for 2008. I’m kinda bummed that I cannot attend DWF ‘08…schedule is not cooperating. I’ll be at WPPI in March, so I think I’ll get a little bit of knowledge over there.
I just signed up for a one-day lighting workshop in Los Angeles (Light & Fast) that is being held by John Mireles and Jules Bianchi. That should be really interesting. But I’m also looking for another one to attend, probably a multi-day event. Any one out there have any suggestions for me??? Or have any reviews of ones they recently attended or have already registered for one in ‘08??
Here are some that I’ve heard of for ‘08:
