Wet In Red With Meredith Devine

The last set of images from my most recent shoot with Meredith. What a joy this day was to shoot in such a beautiful location with such an amazing woman.. This was one of the quicker looks that se shot on this day, but the images we captured during this short 15 minute stint were highly worth it.

Meredith and I knocked out the looks we need to before she got her hair wet and this was the first where she got into the pool. I am never sure how I end up on the ground shooting un...

Campground Fields With Rachel Murphy

A lot of our time in Wyoming was spent at our camp ground, mostly in the morning and the evening. Starting the day with a fresh cup of coffee and a quick breakfast before hitting the back roads for a new adventure and winding down with a beautiful meal accompanied by a warm fire. We made a lot of friends at our campground, mainly because of Rachel and her extremely outgoing and welcoming personality. For Rachel, being from Texas, it come naturally. When a new neighbor would arrive she would a...

Gels With Sami Rey

As history seems, when I shoot one specific type of style, it rolls into the next shoot and the next shoot per request of the model. Sami thoroughly enjoyed my recent studio work and she wanted some of herself as well. We shot two different looks this evening with a quick little all-red at the end of the shoot.

Sami has just recently started heavily diving into modeling and I remember when we first started working together. What a night and day difference, her modeling has be...

Sultry Pastels With Lexi

I would shy very far away from saying that I am they type of photographer that is a "Collector of Faces." I seldom work with new people for seemingly endless amounts of reasons, but it is always a breath of fresh air when you work with someone new and a budding friendship comes out of it. Lexi is one of those times.

We have been following one another for some time now and we got together a little while ago for our first shoot. She ran out that day to pick up this amazing piec...

Loft Mornings With Reed

The first time that Reed and I had seen one another in over a year was the first day that she was staying 20 steps down the hallway from me in my building. One of my neighbors went out of town to Europe for a month and she stayed in their place. Of course, since it was the first time in a long time we had seen one another, many shoots were in order. A lot of catch up time was due as well. Reed and I spent a good amount of time with one another walking Kylea and her dog Seven. Endless meals an...

Boots 'n Suits With Reed

A quick little set with a quick little write up.

Reed and I shot these images on the same day we went to the beach and had some all things analogue fun. I ended up leaving my memory cards at home (rookie mistake, I know) and we simply just switched focus to what it was like in a time before digital; a blast.

Once we got back from the beach Reed threw on this amazing body suit and we channeled some more analogue beach energy, but this time with a sprinkle of d...

Our Own Lake With Rachel Murphy

Day One.

After arriving extremely late the previous evening and getting haphazardly set up for camp, we woke up to the most epic and beautiful view of the Tetons. Our camp was technically inside the National Park, however it was outside of the area of which you have to pay. It was dispersed camping and Rachel had arrived at the perfect time to secure one of the best sites. A grand view of the Grand Tetons. Being able to wake up to this was a dream. It had been so long since I...

Water Color With Reed

In the same Airbnb that I spoke of before, the one with the ridiculous cleaning fee, this was shot as well. Reed and I snapped the previous set that was posted and then shipped off to a killer meal at one of my favorites in Phoenix, Federal Pizza. A necessary Arancini appetizer, one pizza shared and an excessive amount of ranch. Granted, not always the best choice to eat a killer meal before a shoot, but we did it anyways.

Once back to the Airbnb, I kept ranting about the rid...

Waiting For You With Meredith Devine

The first look that Meredith and I shot on this day in Orange County and boy is it a good one.

As Meredith was finishing up her hair and make up, I scouted out the backyard of this beautiful home for location and most important; the light. She had laid all of her things out on one of the beds in the guest room and I kept walking back and forth to envision which outfits would look best where. This was definitely the spot for this one. The contrast of the white chair to the bla...

Just In the Knick of Light With Reed

As I was planning out my exit to Wyoming early, I began to speak to Reed about the potential of shooting while I was in Phoenix and she coaxed me into getting an Airbnb so we can shoot in since it was still deathly hot outside in Arizona. Well, with spotty service I did not have much option in the bullshit charges I was going to incur from this Airbnb. What charges? How about a $130 cleaning fee for one night, an $80 dog fee since I had Kylea and oh yes, the house rules stated that I had to d...

Analogue With Paige | A Collection Of Polaroids

Getting caught up on some posting here over the next couple days, the first true days I will have had free in the last couple of weeks.

Last weekend was the busiest I have had in some time. An event to shoot in San Diego, a friends wedding in Palm Springs, a shoot in Joshua Tree and then two studio sessions in Los Angeles to close out the weekend. Sheesh.

These Polaroids are from my time with Paige in Joshua Tree. She messaged me on Instagram and said that sh...

Pools, Blunts & Reds With Meredith Devine

For almost every time Meredith and I have created together, it has been in my studio. We needed to switch it up a little and we most certainly did. The day started off with a drive North out of Los Angeles to pick up Meredith. Then, a trek down to Orange County where our location was. One of my friends provided the location and it is a mostly vacant house that his parents reside in while visiting California. It was my first time going to the house and I was in awe at it's beauty. There were s...

Analogue With Lexi | A Collection Of Polaroids

There are only a couple, but a couple are better than none.

I had a first shoot with Lexi last week in the middle of a crazy packed seven days. We got together for an hour or so and shot some studio gels that turned out amazing. I have already began to work through the digitals and those will come soon enough. Enjoy!

These were shot on Polaroid Circle Frame Edition 600 Type Color film with a Polaroid SLR680.

Down By The River With Reed

The last two days that I was scheduled to be in Wyoming, it was unfortunately going to rain for the entire time. I made the decision to head out of Wyoming and take a trip down to Phoenix to see some friends, eat some good food and enjoy a little change of weather. It is a hard city to spend just one day in, but it was definitely worth it.

The morning before I leave back to California to end my vacation, Reed brought me out to somewhere I had never been before that was due Ea...

The Tetons With Rachel Murphy

This is just the beginning. The first digitals, the first thoughts. There is so much to tell.

A huge downfall to traveling alone is not being able to document anything and everything. Your eyes have to stay plastered to the road, attentive and safe. Most of my fifteen hour drive to Wyoming was captured in brief moments when there was no one else on the roads but me, which seemed to happen a lot. Now, fifteen hour drive was simply the amount of time in motion. The total drive ...

The first digitals, a massive mountain range and some torn pants. This set goes live the very moment I finish typing the post tonight.

Analogue With Reed | A Collection Of Polaroids

Reed and I have a knack for shooting an excessive amount of film when we get together and this time was no different. The last couple days of my vacation it was projected for heavy rain the last two days that I was in Grand Teton and I had three options. First, get extremely wet and continue to hike and be outdoors. Second, sit in the tent for two days straight and do not much else. Lastly, leave Jackson, Wyoming and head to somewhere different. Needless to say, I chose the last option and se...

Analogue With Rachel Murphy | A Collection Of Polaroids

I brought a whole mess of film with me and did not even use it all. Now, I certainly  used a large amount, but not as I thought I would. Regardless extremely happy with the results of the instant film and cannot wait to see more of the 35mm and 120 that was shot. Being able to meet up with a friend in the middle of nowhere was such a breath of fresh air; that the same of Rachel's personality. She was such a delight to be around and really opened my eyes to a lot of things they were close...
