Snow Day with My Love

Kenny Grill — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:09:59 +0000

Today, Bri and I ventured up to Wrightwood for a fun day in the snow. I’ve been wanted to do a shoot with her for months and since all these crazy storms I’ve been wanting to do a shoot in the snow… isn’t it great when you kill two birds with one stone!?

For those of you who don’t know, this is Bri, my Fiance as of one month ago, and the love of my life. I could literally write paragraphs about all the things I love about her (cause I have), but I’ll spare you from that now, but I will show you a million pics of her! : ) Enjoy!

I love you, beautiful girl!

The Pitt Family

Kenny Grill — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 19:29:40 +0000

Productive weekends are the best. Mine started yesterday morning with a shoot of Kevin, Amy, Nathan, and Cody. The Pitt’s are good friends of ours and we had a great time with them. This shoot also features one of the biggest nose bubbles ever, for a 9-month-old (As seen below).

As for the rest of our weekend, we’re headed up to the snow for some wintery photos and a fun day. I’ll try to post those tonight!

Wedding at Los Willows, Fallbrook

Kenny Grill — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:46:08 +0000

After what seemed like a lifetime of rain and flash floods, the clouds so graciously took the weekend off. I’m pretty sure it’s because I had a request in with the big man upstairs. He likes me that much! It was a beautiful January weekend and Chris and Tamara couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Might I add that I love when pretty much the entire reception involves enthusiastic guests who all just dance that night away. It makes me smile. And that was pretty much the tone of the whole day. “Loves it!” : )

Holiday Family Shoot

Kenny Grill — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 07:17:29 +0000

Meet the Palmer’s. If I do say so myself, we had quite a bit of fun on this shoot. Broken branches, sub-zero temperatures (okay, maybe I’m exaggerating by a couple degrees), and spending 30 minutes (maybe another slight exaggeration) trying to perfect the “Ron Burgandy and Channel 4 news team’s jump”. If the above doesn’t sound like a blast to you, than chances are you’re missing out on life! ; ) Anywho, the following is the result of all the “funness” (Yes, I did just make that word up) we had. Enjoy!

Thatcher Manor Garden Wedding

Kenny Grill — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:23:05 +0000

This wedding was filled with firsts for me. The first time I’ve ever shot a Lutheran ceremony, the first time I’ve ever visited the Thatcher mansion in Perris (which was lovely), the first time I’ve ever been pulled over on my way to the reception (california rolled a stop… don’t worry, he let me go and I didn’t even have to say a word. I think I was looking extra sexy that day ;-D ), and the first time I’ve ever watched the mother of the bride take a shot of good ol JD during prep. : ) Michael, Kim and their family and friends were all so much fun, I had a great time with them all. I also had a great time second shooting for my good buddy Joel Beukelman. It’s fun every once in a while to be able to kick back, catch some different shots, and help out wherever I can. : ) Congratulations Michael and Kim!

Santa Rosa Plateau Engagement Shoot

Kenny Grill — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 03:12:11 +0000

Well, it happened… I have a new favorite place to shoot. This past week I journeyed up to the Santa Rosa Plateau with Adam & Heather. I hadn’t been up there in quite some time and had no idea what I’d been missing. There’s an endless amount of hollowed out tree coverings with the sun poking through just enough to turn it all gold, wooden fences like no tomorrow, and open fields up the wazoo! Adam, Heather and I “hiked” around taking photos, until the temperature dropped about 15 degrees from when we had arrived (1.5 hours later). So we left with cold toes, fingers and noses, but stoked on the photos and new shoot location (maybe the last part was just me).

Fall Portrait Session

Kenny Grill — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 21:15:06 +0000

Introducing my little sister, Courtney. She is the youngest of 5. Yes, that’s right. I said 5. Our family is compiled of 3 girls and 2 boys (and our parents of course), and there is an 18 year gap between the youngest and oldest. Well, our baby sister is now in high school. And to commemorate this momentous time in life, we went out and did a little portrait session. We had a great time, but I really wanted to kick this guy who was playing “fetch” with his dog. Not because he was playing, but because he decided it was funny to throw the ball wherever we moved to (and I mean right in the middle of our shoot!). This became old, QUICK. But once I punted his dog like Baxter, it was smooth sailing. : )

The Tingley’s

Kenny Grill — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:12:52 +0000

The other morning Bri and I visited our friends, Emily and Travis Tingley, for a little B&E. If you are familiar with Dane Cook I am not referring to Breaking & Entering, I’m talking about the B&E that would make any human being envious, Bacon & Eggs (excluding vegetarians, but even then… come on guys… it’s BACON & EGGS! : ) ). It was delightful. But I digress… we ended up doing a little impromptu fall photo session for them. There was laughing, and there was crying, but once Travis calmed down, the shoot ended up going well. Enjoy the photos!

Also, Emily is an up and coming photographer. She is great with kids and families and I recommend you check out her stuff and show her some love and support! : )

Audio Video Specialists

Kenny Grill — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:07:27 +0000

Last week I took a trip through Southern California for a shoot with Audio Video Specialists. We journeyed from mortuaries to mansions, and from mansions to senior citizen resorts. The “mansion” shoot had to be rescheduled to a later date (which I can’t wait to show you all… in-freakin-credible!), but I do have a few from some of our others stops on the day. Enjoy!

Justin & Lindsay – Pismo, Ca

Kenny Grill — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:42:48 +0000

For my first photo post on the new site I have a good one… Meet Justin & Lindsay. Their wedding took place at the Shore Cliff Lodge in Pismo Beach. These two love laughing and just having a good time (maybe more than me), and their family and friends are right there too. I had such a great time with everyone and I’m really happy with the photos! And I have to give a big “thank you!” to my beautiful lady, Bri, for being such a tremendous help, and adding even more fun to the day : ) Enjoy the photos everyone!
