California

I’ve always felt a pull to live out west. I actually did in the 1970′s when I was very young in Los Angeles. The things I remember are the camping trips in the mountains, riding my little dirt bike along the dirt trails and hilly terrain behind our neighborhood, and the disco parties my parents seemed to have every other weekend… “dim all the lights sweet darling… cuz the night is…. ” … *cough*… okay ANYWAY =)   I got to spend some time working in south Orange County last week and this week – Irvine, Foothill Ranch, and Laguna Beach to be exact. I must say, it’s a different feel on the LEFT coast. There was very little time for leisure though since I was working long days. My camera was completely dedicated to the job at hand, so I was only able to get personal photos taken with my iPhone. Nonetheless, I look forward to my next visit soon!

It was my first time using Virgin America -- BEST airline ever.

Montage Resort CA
The beach at Montage Resort was filled with photographers & portrait clients… maybe TOO many in my opinion.

Armin - Virgin Airlines is #1 on Conde Nast’s traveler’s choice 2nd year in a row. Definitely check ‘em out! As for the photogs on the beach, there were about 15 different shooters with their clients. A popular place apparently, lol.

Troy Woods - Thanks for sharing!! I must book a flight on that airline. I have heard great things. As far as the photographers at the beach, were they just there shooting or is that a GTG LOL.
