Happy New Year everyone! I wanted to do a quick post featuring images from our last LYON-SHOP that took place in Manhattan Beach at the Shade Hotel. Also, for anyone still interested, we DO still have seats open for the LYON-SHOP in Las Vegas on February 19th, CLICK HERE to reserve your seat asap! You can also get more info about our workshop by visiting our LYON-SHOP site!
On the day of the LYON-SHOP we conduct two live shoots. The first live shoots we covered creative use of the available light, working with your subject, client interaction, creative use of shadows, different lenses for different situations, and posing. We were lucky enough to have two different couples model for us that day!
After the first shoot was finished we headed back to the classroom and covered post processing, workflow, business marketing, business etiquette, album design, and conducted a live mock client meeting.
On the second live shoot we covered more client posing, off camera lighting, more practice with different lenses, and lens flare.
A HUMONGOUS THANK YOU to all of our attendees! We had a blast with everyone and feel so humbled that you came out to spend a day learning from us!!!

It was so fun working with Borami & Anthony! I absolutely adored Bormai's 1940's style, complete with hat & veil, and Anthony's classic black suit with thin black tie was superb! So glad they were able to make the trip all the way from New York for this!
My three favorite shots of the day! I like how the clouds looked like a wave encircling Bormai & Anthony!

Justin and I have pretty much given up on the idea of actually sending out a Christmas card to all of our friends and family. Every year we truly want to do it and then we find ourselves busy taking care of everyone else's holiday photos. I always joke and say that I'm like the house-keeper that can't keep her own house clean. Sooooo I decided to do a shoot of my sweet little boys, Hudson and Sloan! My boys are so much fun and playful, and they make every minute of Justin and my life interesting! They also happen to be my HARDEST subject to photograph, which is probably why "formal" sessions of them happen very seldom.
California winters are filled with lots of leaves on the ground, the boys had some fun with a huge pile they found!
Sloan was especially fond of being buried among the leaves, which resulted in a ton of sneezing!
Thank you to Dusty & Jessie (my wonderful in laws) for coming out to spend Christmas with us, we love you!
In lieu of an actual Christmas card, please enjoy these photos with a happy holiday wish from the Lyon family to all our friends, family, blog followers, and fellow photographers. We hope everyone has enjoyed this amazing holiday season and has had time to ponder what this time of year is really about. We love all of you, Merry Christmas!

Nearly four years ago Dayle + Ryel hired Justin and I to photograph their wedding. I remember feeling super icky with morning sickness the day I shot their engagement session just first pregnant with my little Sloan, then at their wedding I was large with a bun in the oven. Since that time Dayle + Ryel have become our good friends and now they have a little boy of their own as the newest addition to their family! I'm so thankful for their friendship and have really enjoyed seeing what their little family has become! Here's one last photo session of just Dayle + Ryel a few weeks before little Dylan's arrival.
Congratulations Dayle + Ryel, can't wait to meet your little man in person!

The world welcomes baby Fox! It's always fun to photograph brand new little babies, so sweet, so pure, so perfect!
I had to photograph all the fun little details of Fox's nursery. I love all the little-man stuff, reminds me of what I liked to collect for my boys when they were first born.
Fox's parents are so happy!
Be sure to stop by Fox's mom's blog, Paige runs a fun personal blog!
This photo makes me smile ear to ear! Gotta love the newborn cross eyed thing, especially since they can't really see all the way at this point in life, I ADORE this photo!

LOVE THIS!! Oh and I have to ask you...can you ask your clients where they got the sock monkey hat?? My sister in law is having her baby in a week or so and her soon to be son's room is a sock monkey theme! She would just die if I got her a hat like that....thanks in advance girly!
(12.23.10 08:51 AM)
Paige Evans said:
The sock monkey hat was purchased from etsy.com - I don't remember which shop though. But if you search "sock monkey hat" a bunch of listings come up - just pick your fave! Hope that helps!
