A Year in Review for La Brisa Photography

Thank you. I can't say it enough. I hope you get really tired of me saying it. Thank you. Thank you for everything you have done to make La Brisa Photography what it is today. In my eyes, La Brisa Photography has been a phenomenal success and I'd say at least 90% of our business is through word of mouth referrals. So thank you for being awesome and for loving what we love to do! This year has been absolutely incredible. Through a temporary stay in Brooklyn to a semi-permanent (for me, at least) move to Houston, I have been wonderfully and undeservedly blessed by amazing clients and fans. Below, you will see the numbers that describe our year, but what they don't tell you is how many clients Brandi and I now consider wonderful friends. If you check out our 2009 by the numbers, you'll see that we continue to grow, expand and progress. Thanks to the wonders of social media, we hear/see/read your feedback about our images, true confessions and whimsical ideas and it is invaluable. So keep commenting and telling us what you like or don't like because we take your opinions and suggestions to heart!

Special thanks to Brandi for rocking it out in Manhattan, KS and doing amazing things in photography. I am constantly wowed by your vision and perspective. Your creativity has been incredibly beneficial to La Brisa and I attribute a huge amount of our collective success to you. You are a rockstar and I am grateful for you as a colleague but even more so as a friend.

  1. Chris, how do you light a shot like the sunset one? A protable spot-light type light?

  2. Leslie, the sunset shot is lit by a off camera speedlite flash and triggered by my on camera flash (sorry, I just saw your comment!).
