I was on the way to the store to pick up some groceries when I noticed how nice the moon looked so I walked back home and took a photo of it using my Nikon D850 with a 300 mm lens.

Hot Cocoa Bath
Here is Jennie and me taking a break from holiday stress by taking a bath in cups of hot cocoa.
Production Notes
This was one of our most successful jobs at matching color and lighting, because we took the photos of us at exactly the same time and place as the photos of the hot cocoa. Once we had the photos, this was one of the easier Photoshop images I worked on due to how perfectly the lighting matched.

Snowy Oakland
Where the snow comes from to make it a snowy winter in Oakland, California This was our holiday card for 2006. At the time we lived within sight of the Grand Lake Theater.
Production Notes
This started as a photograph of the Grand Lake Theater area in full sunshine with no snow. I then found a tutorial online that showed how to create the illusion of snow within Photoshop. Incorporating Jennie and me into the scene required a lot of careful decision making about how to incorporate our feet so that they looked like they were part of the scene.

Finishing Touches
Just putting the last sprinkles on before the big holiday party.
Production Notes
We lived in a pretty small apartment when we made this card, so we struggled to find a good spot to take the photos of us from this elevated angle. Also, we had pretty poor lighting for our photos. Still, my proudest achievement with this one was creating the fake reflection under Jennie.
