the digital orange photo blog I like to think of myself as a tuxedo t-shirt because I want to be formal, but really I'm here to party.  

I'm Mike Cunningham and this is my photo blog.

3 shoots in 2 days.  It was an awesome weekend.

I started things off Friday night shooting for ocRAMPS.com at their warehouse in Santa Ana.  The skating was insane and you're not going to believe the hammers these guys were throwing down.  And yes, he landed it.  Several times.

Friday night was super fun, but the couple I met Saturday morning in Rancho Palos Verdes for an engagement session really stole the show.  They are two of THE raddest people ever and I'm overwhelmed with excitement to shoot their wedding in North Lake Tahoe this summer.  Here's a sneak peek at my new friends Megan and Dave:

After I finished the eSession, it was off to Terranea Resort to shoot the corporate retreat of Knobbe Martens, the Kings of Intellectual Property Law and all other important things intangibly protectable.  It was an amazing indoor/outdoor production that was nothing short of top-notch.

Basically what I'm trying to say is.....it's going to be a good week on the blog.  Come back and visit.

Ten years ago I met a great friend.  That friend now has a beautiful wife, an even more beautiful daughter, and a son that will join the clan in January.  They are an awesome family and I'm so lucky to know them.  We snapped a few quick shots on Sunday morning before I left and I'm glad we did.  Check it.


Little Tessa just melts my heart.  If she were my daughter, I'd buy her anything she wanted.  All she would have to do is look at me and smile and I'd gladly hand over the wallet.  I'm screwed.

Just got back from a great weekend trip to Las Vegas.  I had a great time spending time with the Treese fam and even put together a late night photo shoot on the mini-ramp.  

Cody and Casey's parents have a mini-ramp in the backyard (shout out to Papa Steve) that overlooks the Las Vegas Strip.  It's an awesome backyard and a great place to spend the evening.  Cody and Casey threw down on the mini til their grown man tiredness kicked in, Eric came and filmed the happenings, and I was rockin' the still shots.  We jammed til the weee hours of the morning.  Made me feel like a kid again.  Sigh.

Our buddy Eric Cannon threw down with the videography.  The lighting sucked for video and he still managed to put together a killer short video.  Be sure and stop on over to his BLOG and check out the video he made.  You might even see me airing out of a pool :)

I can't wait to go back and do it again.  VIVA LAS VEGAS!

He fights fires.  She brings the awesome.  They are a rad mini family.  And baby Noah....yeah that little guy is like 3,000 times radder than radness himself.

If you'd like some portraits like these to send out in your Christmas cards, send me an email.  October and November have few spots remaining.
