About three weeks ago, I joined Angie at Dina Mande's studio one afternoon for what I thought was going to be a quick shoot for some updated photos for our LaZarreWines.com website. I was wrong.
Dina and her team have been blowing all of us away in the 805 with her visual marketing material ever since moving up to Paso several years ago after leaving a successful career as a Hollywood/Burbank TV producer, director, and overall creative genius. From such seemingly mundane items like business cards and letterhead all the way to award-winning video series, Dina has raised the bar for visual marketing and has played a huge roll in bringing the Paso Robles wine community to the world stage.
Up until now, there's only been a few of us that have known that one of her true passions is portrait photography. She is just now launching her new venture and I would encourage anyone that wants to memorialize this moment in time to reach out to her on her DinaMandePortrait FB page. This isn't like going down to the One-Hour photography studio and being shuffled into the back room for a five minute shoot. She employs a team of talented assistants that work sets, wardrobe, makeup, lights, photo software, and a really cool wind machine. Kinda like a Hollywood glamour shooting.
Hope you don't mind me sharing a few of my favorite photos
