Hello there!!! My name is Doug Miranda. I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Sacramento, CA. This blog is a place where I write about all my adventures in life including business and personal. I will be constantly updating this blog with super cool stuff all the time!!! So come back often and leave a comment. If you would like to see more of my work go on over to my website, www.dougmiranda.com. Thanks for stopping by!!!!
On Valentine’s Day I took Christine to San Francisco to see the play Wicked. It was an amazing play and we also had some great seats too!!! We also got to meet some of the actors after the play. The weather was prefect too for the middle of the winter in San Francisco, which made walking around all that much better. I brought my new camera with us to take some pictures around the city. Gotta love the San Francisco!!!!
Here are some photos that I took with my Hasselbald X-Pan II camera. The photos are from when Christine and I went to San Francisco back in the fall and from a recent trip to Lake Tahoe. Ejoy!!!
I really love these last two photos. Even though they’re out of focus.
Last week I was down in Mammoth at my aunt’s condo for the first time this year. After finally getting caught up on all my work I was able to go down there for a full week, which was much needed!! I couldn’t have picked a better week to go to Mammoth from some skiing. My first day there I was skiing 2 ft of powder and it got better as the week went on. I ended up having 3 powder days out of the 5 days that I was there. Good times 
Here are some photos that I took with my point and shoot camera.
Made one of those tracks on Rogers Ridge before it got all tracked out
Got some fresh tracks on the right photo, while all these people were waiting in line. Suckers!!!
Super happy to be skiing powder on the first day of my trip!!!
Looking miserable, but really stoked to be skiing knee deep powder in the storm!!!
My first tracks down a canyon on the face of chair 5.
Avalanches that went down the face of Mammoth after ski patrol bombed it.
The new Sacramento Bride and Groom came out in early January and I was super happy to find out that they published a good amount of my photos in their magazine. Click here to read the online version of the magazine.
This past summer I took my Hasselblad camera out of my closet to take some night exposures on our camping trip to Lake Tahoe. I’ve had my Hasselblad since I went Brooks and used a lot while going to school for projects. I’m finally making myself use it, some more which has been fun. A week ago I finally sent the film out to the lab to get it developed and just got them back. I also had some Holga rolls developed too from this past summer and fall.

Over Christmas vacation Christine and I went to visit a state prison, saw a protest and went to the birthplace of the California gold rush. Here are some photos of the fun we had!!
On January 9th Lisa and Dagan tied the knot at the Grand Island Mansion. This was my first wedding of 2010 and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding to the kick the year off with!!! The wedding didn’t start until the late afternoon so we pretty much photographed the whole wedding at night. Which was a first and ended up being super cool. Enjoy the photos!!!!
