On the Move

It has been a while since my last post but it has been a whirlwind of travel and moving. Last month I had the opportunity to travel to Colorado and New Mexico for a wedding and I can't explain how beautiful it was. The great thing about being a photographer though is I can show you, as a picture is worth a thousand words. My husband and I stayed in Telluride Colorado for the wedding and then made our way to New Mexico to visit family. I was able to see the mountains in the fall, which if you haven't seen it before, is a must. I also had the fortunate, yet lucky opportunity to go to the Albuquerque Balloon festival which was amazing. You are standing feet away from where the balloons take off and they are just surrounding you. The day was a photographer's dream day to shoot. Perfect light, although freezing, and a chilling blue sky. Amazing, Amazing vacation!!

Upon our return we packed up and left Hawaii. I now reside in Pensacola Florida and itching to get out and photograph. Now that I'm getting settled in I hope to make it out this weekend. Keep checking the website as I'm uploading the wedding and vacation pictures ASAP.

Happy 4th of July

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July!! Here's to the BBQ's, Beers, Family, and Friends. With all it's faults, may we all remember why our country is so wonderful.

Night

In Hawaii it is very rare that sunsets disappoint and the other night was no exception. Standing on Kuhio beach the view to the west was spectacular. I need to enjoy this much more often as I have such a limited time left on the island. Let me know what you think of the view.

Self Portrait

So I finally registered on Dgrin and introduced my self with my self portrait. You know it's not easy to take a good self portrait. Between getting the lighting right, trying to get yourself in focus (used a tripod instead of hand held), and making sure the 25mph winds didn't blow all your equipment over, it made for a tough set up. I think it turned out pretty well considering. Definitely a good assignment for any photographer.

Let Me Introduce Myself

Hello world!! As a newcomer to the blogging world I want to introduce who I am and what I do. My name is Darci Elli Hook and I live in San Diego, CA. I have been in the US Navy for the past 8 years and am starting up a photography business. Most of my photography is landscape and nature but I am beginning to branch out into Portrait photography. I can do location shoots using both natural light and flash. My shooting style is more natural and candid shots of people interacting to really bring out their true personalities. Please check out my website Darci Hook Photography and feel free to order any photos of your liking.
