Medical (Un)Professionals

Posted on August 28, 2010 by Jake Reinig in People, Photos, Studio | No Comments

Location: my studio. Subject: female portraits As part of my ongoing 100 portraits project, my friends Laurie and Robin stopped by Friday night to pose. My regular 9-5 has been crazy stressful over the last week, so spending an evening with this delightful duo was a welcome respite. Robin is an all-star RN, and Laurie [...]

Section 8 at House of Blues

Posted on July 01, 2010 by Jake Reinig in Bands/Music, People, Photos | No Comments

Location: House of Blues Anaheim. Subject: Section 8 band I’m not sure how I forgot to put these up, but I got the chance to do some back stage and on stage work for my cousin’s band (Section 8 ) at the House of Blues back in February. The energy of being on stage was [...]

Double the Fun

Posted on May 19, 2010 by Jake Reinig in People, Photos | No Comments

Location: Hart Park and Carbon Canyon. Subject: baby, teen, and family photography. This is a double post for two shoots I recently did. The first is little Emma (who just turned 1) and her mom Paula. The second is the Rivera family and their little man Noah (who’s going on 6 months). Now that I’ve [...]

Khmer New Year 2010

Posted on April 29, 2010 by Jake Reinig in People, Photos | 4 Comments

Location: Riverside. Subject: Cambodian New Year festival, monks, celebrants, dancers. I was recently given the opportunity to photograph the Cambodian (Khmer) New Year festivities at a large Buddhist temple in San Bernardino. It was my first editorial type job, so I was a little nervous. And, while I think i could have done a better job [...]

2009: Year in Review

Posted on December 30, 2009 by Jake Reinig in Beach, People, Photos, Scuba | 2 Comments

Location: All over the place. Subjects: everything. Since everyone else on the web does an end of year retrospective, I figured I might as well also. 2009 has been a good photographic year for me. I don’t know that I’m a particularly good photographer yet, but I feel as though I got to another level [...]

Location: Orange, CA, Mission San Juan Capistrano, my studio. Subject: family and children photography, architecture, female portraits. Another post with random photos for you. The first set comes from my good friend Declan (“Danger”) and his mom/dad Becky and Trevor (who in my head I just accidentally called “Decky, Beclan and Trevor”). They’re now expecting [...]

X + 2C

Posted on November 28, 2009 by Jake Reinig in People, Photos | 2 Comments

Location: Carbon Canyon. Subject: family and infant photography. I met Xochitl, Clayton, and Clayton at my old stomping grounds in Carbon Canyon today. I’ve known Xochitl for years, but had the pleasure of meeting her two Clays for the first time. They were after Christmas card photos, but at the end of the day we [...]

Higher Learning

Posted on November 08, 2009 by Jake Reinig in People, Photos | No Comments

Location: Chapman University. Subject: family and children photography. I met my longtime friends Jeff and Dawn at Chapman University to photograph them and their boys, AJ and Brady. The place was hopping with some sort of special event so we didn’t get the full use of the campus, but we still had fun. Click any [...]

Danger Strikes Again

Posted on October 27, 2009 by Jake Reinig in People, Photos | 2 Comments

Location: Hart Park. Subject: child Halloween photos. I had a makeup session with Danger Gill this past weekend, with the plan being to get some photos of him in his Clark Kent/Superman costume. I love taking pictures of him, but at 17 months it can be like walking a cat in a bathtub (yes, I [...]

♫ Stu- Stu- Stuuudiooooo ♪ ♪

Posted on October 05, 2009 by Jake Reinig in Boudoir/Glamor, People, Photos | 2 Comments

Location: Corona, CA. Subject: studio glamor photography. Saturday found me in Corona for a portfolio building studio session with 5 great models. There’s not a whole lot to say other than that I really enjoy studio work, doing it in a studio with great lighting opportunities is even better, and doing it with amazing subjects [...]

A Day With Paradise

Posted on September 21, 2009 by Jake Reinig in Beach, People, Photos | 7 Comments

Location: Cardiff beach. Subject: beach swimsuit photography. I had a great shoot in Cardiff today with an amazing model. I’d tell you more about it, but it’s almost 1:30 a.m., I still have other work to do before bed, and I need to get my stuff ready for a long trip this week to Las [...]

An Electric Smile

Posted on September 12, 2009 by Jake Reinig in People, Photos | 1 Comment

This is Michelle. She’s indestructible, nearly bionic, and literally electric. And, as you can see, she also takes pretty pictures. The photos below are from an outing at Carbon Canyon this evening. I had planned on working with softboxes to make the most of what I hoped would be a great sunset, but we ended [...]

Lions and tigers and exotic rabbits, oh my!

Posted on August 25, 2009 by Jake Reinig in People, Photos | 5 Comments

Amber asked if I would photograph the festivities for her son’s 3rd birthday this past weekend. Having shot her young family before and knowing how photogenic they were, I was excited for this opportunity. There were something like 40 million children and an equal number of animals in a mobile petting zoo (including two ponies!) [...]

Sundaaaaay … Strobey Sunday

Posted on August 17, 2009 by Jake Reinig in Head Shots, People, Photos | 2 Comments

Here’s an explanation of the title, for the unhip amongst you. ;) I spent today playing around with different strobe setups and bossing around the lovely Clara as part of an amazing workshop put on by the very talented Ben Chen. We started off with various speedlites and softboxes indoors before moving outdoors with larger [...]

Best. Cover Band. Ever

Posted on August 15, 2009 by Jake Reinig in Bands/Music, People, Photos | No Comments

My cousin’s new band played at the Back Alley Bar in Fullerton last night. I had heard from my other cousins that they were pretty good, but doesn’t everyone say that about every cover band, especially family? In actuality, they killed it. These guys were really good, and the house loved ‘em. I have a [...]

Trouble Comes in Three

Posted on August 01, 2009 by Jake Reinig in People, Photos | 2 Comments

The lovely Double-L let me shoot her about a month ago for part 2 in my “Seeing Double” project. (Note: Part 2 should be published around the middle of August hopefully.) She wanted to shoot her nephews G, H, and L as a surprise for her sister. Since her sister is web savvy, and since [...]

Day in the Sun

Posted on July 26, 2009 by Jake Reinig in People, Photos | 2 Comments

I met the Clelands at my favorite park for some family photos yesterday. Thankfully, I got some electrical issues with my camera sorted out and we were able to play around the park. I’m starting to think that—for as often as I’m at Carbon Canyon—the county should start paying me a promotional fee. :) Thanks [...]

Young Love

Posted on July 06, 2009 by Jake Reinig in Engagement, People, Photos | 5 Comments

I had the great pleasure to meet Natalie and Casey today to do engagement photos for them. Natalie mentioned that they were really drawn to a vintage look, so we met before sunset at an abandoned train in Orange to give it a go. It’s a style that I’m also really drawn to, so it [...]

Danger’s Crew at CC

Posted on June 14, 2009 by Jake Reinig in People, Photos | 3 Comments

Danger Gill turned a year old about a month ago, so he and his crew met me at Carbon Canyon to recreate some photos we had done there when Becky was still pregnant. We didn’t recreate many, but a lot of the other shots turned out great. I love this family, and the chance to [...]

Seeing Double (Part 1)

Posted on June 07, 2009 by Jake Reinig in People, Photos | 3 Comments

As part of becoming a better photographer, I’ve decided to start giving myself assignments. This first one can be called “twins” or “seeing double” or “the setup for these shoots is hard!” If you want to read more about this process, feel free to do so after the pics below. Oh, and I still need [...]
