karen + jesse get hitched.

2011-11-01T13:01:00.000-07:00

it's always exciting to get asked to assist on a badass wedding but this wedding took the cake. my good friend tim song asked me to help him shoot a wedding and of course i said yes because tim is amazing and awesome and fun. then i found out it was gentleman jesse of gentleman jesse and his men and i couldn't have gotten any more excited. or so i thought. found out later it was a native american inspired wedding, with a full size handmade tee-pee, great friends, food trucks, oh and amazing music by reigning sound. if you are into music, be sure to check out gentlemen jesse and his men and reigning sound. if your into photos, be sure to check out tim song and of course, myself. enjoy guys.

mary ann + matt engagement

2011-10-18T12:02:00.001-07:00

Mary Ann and Matt are just downright cool and good people, and not to mention also just good friends. Its always fun to photograph friends, and its that much better when they are creative and artists themselves.

2011-10-11T16:13:00.000-07:00

hi there! bet you forgot about me huh? been a minute since I've blogged but now I'm getting back into into the swing of things and wanted to kick off the new blogpost extravaganza with some photos from Sun in my Belly's Supper Club. If you haven't been yet, you should most certainly check it out. Four course meal, live music, cocktails, and friends. You can get more information on it here. Enjoy!

oh hey, i'm a winner.

2011-05-17T14:53:00.001-07:00

So I should have posted this one million years ago but here's to procrastination... in the beginning I entered a competition for
the impossible project and then boom, I'm a winner. because the impossible project is awesome this meant I got to test out the new PX 680 Color Shade Beta Test Film (which if you haven't looked by now is amazing). Hope you enjoy them as much as I do...

vacations are lovely.

2010-07-20T16:26:00.001-07:00

again, big thank you to my model julia and my coworker heidi for doing this shoot with me way too late at night. super 8 footage to come soon.

vintage cars + julia

2010-07-18T16:51:00.000-07:00

i guess let me start off by saying matt miller is a scouting genius. he recently did a pretty rad engagement shoot here which gave me the idea. my model julia and my coworker heidi were kind enough to wake up too early in the morning to help out with the shoot. i also shot some super 8 film so i am hoping it comes out to be the most awesome thing ever. post to come soon on that.

new postcard

2010-07-14T08:59:00.000-07:00

I finally got my new postcard printed up and ready to go. Who knew there was such a lack of visit soon postcards in the world? If you'd like to purchase a postcard click here and if three bucks is hard to come by these days well just enjoy it here...

...and if your wondering why my shop looks so sad its because there's more coming soon :)

simb shoot part two

2010-06-01T05:04:00.000-07:00

heidi and i (both from our labor of love) shot at sun in my belly, where there is amazing light and amazing food and i happen to be a waitress there :) the gorgeous flowers were from amy osaba who not only is amazingly talented but also fun to be around. and all was done by once wed. the shoot was from a while ago and i posted some polaroids on a post way back but these images were just hanging around on the backend and i haven't posted anything in a while so i figured i'd just go ahead and launch this one. enjoy!

i thought i'd share.

2010-04-27T15:29:00.000-07:00

heidi for an amazing time. and thanks brian for handling the film. enjoy!

i bought an old kodak duaflex camera at a flea market about a year ago and haven't touched it since there aren't that many people who develop (or sell) the film for it any more. but since i ran across some film i decided to give it a shot and viola! it works!
