David Manning Photographers Bloggin bio picture

Welcome to dmp bloggin!

I'm a big believer in living life to it's fullest and for the most part, you'll find a smile on my face!  That's the short story about me.  The long story includes a passion for photography, playing my guitar, surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, hockey, mountain biking, skydiving and more!

I like good coffee in the morning, and good wine at night.  Cooking combines three of my favorite things, creativity, food, and friends. So you can often times find me in the kitchen making an Italian family recipe.  You're welcome at my house anytime!  Just bring a smile, an appetite, and if you want to score big points, a bottle of red wine!  (Oh, and don't be afraid to have your picture taken.  If you're here, it's bound to happen!)

All of these activities are amazing, but they would not be nearly as fun or possible at all if it weren't for God, my family, and my friends.  These three are the most important to me, and I cannot thank them enough for supporting me on this amazing journey!

LAUREN THE ROCK STAR

Today is a CRAZY day!!! I’m trying to get packed and on my flight to Puerto Rico for a wedding I’m shooting down there this week. I wanted to get this on here before I left though, because I’m offering a bit of a deal, the “Sweet Fifty”, that I want as many people to be able to get in on as possible! So I scrambled this morning to get some shots ready for the blog from an AMAZING Senior Portrait Session with Lauren Williams. She totally rocked it out and the shots are proof enough that Lauren is a rock star!

In the past I haven’t offered Senior Portrait sessions because I’ve never been a fan of that style. Then someone said, “Why don’t you just shoot them in your style?” Good question and good point. So yeah, my style is a little different from your normal Senior Portrait, but if you dig the vibe, then call me up and let’s get you booked. Every session is unique to the individual, includes a bunch of goodies (go to the website to see everything) and is super fun!

So the little deal that I was talking about is called the “Sweet Fifty”! I’m in Puerto Rico until the 29th, but if you email me to book a session before I get back, I’m going to take $25 off the session price and throw in an extra $25 in Print Credit. That’s a $50 value just for emailing me while I’m out of town! Sweetness right? So check these awesome pics of Lauren and email me so we can get some awesome pics of you!

So these two shots were total improv as we walked across the street to grab some Starbucks mid-session. They caught the attention of a few guys outside the shop that asked if she was a famous model. I told them Lauren was from Italy and didn’t speak any english. They bought it and welcomed her to America!

I LOVE COOL WALLS!!!!

Again, COOL WALLS!!!

Lauren definitely sports some insanely blue eyes.

I totally dig this shot! Lauren throwing out the seriousness.

I put both of these next two on here to show that for every serious shot with Lauren there were at least three laughing shots! Her friend Heather was there to bring out the smile and she did her job smashingly!

Okay, normally I put the “Money Shot” last. Well, for this shoot I couldn’t weed it down to one money shot, so here’s two at the cliffs over Del Mar that came out really beautiful.

Lauren, you’re a total rock star and you were amazing to shoot with! As for all you other Seniors out there, grab your parents, have them check this out and email me before I get back to the states for your “Sweet Fifty Deal”!
