road trip part 2

Here is a quick behind the scenes video from this weekend as well as a couple more pics, and no I wasn’t using flash my camera was just holding it for me :)

Schell + Morgan - engaged, San Luis Obispo

We ended our road trip in San Luis Obispo for Schell and Morgan’s engagement session. They are RAD. I had a hard time picking images to blog because I had so many favorites. I decided to make a slideshow too! CLICK HERE FOR THE SLIDESHOW MADNESS!!

Photo Road Trip

This past weekend I had an engagement session up on the central coast. I knew there was some swell expected up there and I’ve been really wanting to do a short photo road trip. Sometimes It’s nice to get away and just shoot for yourself. I asked @mrhaack to join me in taking some crazy images and help me out with a behind the scenes video. We ended up scoring perfect waves and had a rad time even after sleeping in my car stuffed with surfboards and camera gear. Here are some of my favorite pics from the trip. Stay tuned for Schell and Morgan’s awesome engagement and road trip part 2.

Ryan took this rad shot!

Duck and cover laser beam attack!!!!!!

Dogs are awesome

I’m heading out on a road trip to take some crazy pictures and surf some waves. I’ll blog the goodness when I return.  Dogs are awesome!

Ubuntu Salon Lifestyle shoot

I’ve spent the last few weeks catching up after the holidays. Im back to blog land with this shoot I did for Ubuntu Hair Studio. Had a great time with all the awesome models and everyone at Ubuntu. Here are just a few goodies. Thanks Cedros Soles for the outfits and Caitlin Berwick for the styling.

I love this shot.

White Family- Fresno Ca

While I was out of town for Christmas I had a chance to shoot the White family in Fresno. Here are a couple favorites!

Rainy day Shoot!

I had an idea. I knew I had to have Jesi Haack on board to style it for me because.. well she just makes things way more awesome than you ever imagined. The incredibly fabulous Carissa Jones from JL Designs made us these super awesome bouquets. Big shout outs to Jesi and Carissa.  They are a must have for your wedding.  Friday morning I woke up to cloudy skies ,but no rain. Most people would be happy at this point. We on the other hand wanted rain. Finally half way through our shoot we got it. It was a pretty funny sight seeing me hiding under a pink umbrella trying to shoot without soaking my gear.

Thanks to Ashley , Ryan, Jeff, Layla,and Chris, for standing in the rain:)

Sonya & Isaiah- Santa Margarita, CA

Sonya & Isaiah got married under the huge oak trees at Spanish Oaks Ranch.  The central coast couldn’t have been more perfect the day after a rain. It was a Rad day!

Some of those huge trees.

The guys got some awesome custom suits made by Indochino.

Adrift- Good winter read

If you’ve followed my blog at all you know I am not the hugest reader, more of a listener :). I do have a really good book recommendation if anyone wants a good winter read. If your into water or the ocean you’ll love it. It’s called Adrift by Steven Callahan. The dude is lost at sea on a life boat for over 2 months. Crazy and true!  Check it out.
