Brooke Fraser (Fashion, San Francisco CA)

I met Brooke a couple months ago thru Melanie Renee, and we instantly became friends. Mel and I decided to take a little trip up to the bay area and do a photo sess with Brooke for Mel's dresses, Brooke's portfolio, and my website. Win, win, win. The trip was off the hook!!! We shot every chance we got! Saturday morning we got up at 5am to do hair and make-up to be at the beach by sunrise. Lots of illegal driving maneuvers later we made it alive to the spot. The scene looked glorious! I knew it was going to be a worth while day. And it was. Little studio session the following night... done and done! YEah sucker!


7am is rough! But totally worth it, I'd do it again tomorrow.

Mel was a champ. She did hair and make-up, supplied the dresses, and second shot. I think she did the most work out of all of us... oh and she booked a client on the way home! Congrats Mel.

I get really really excited about taking pictures... I could live off photo sessions. No food, no sleep, just photos. Done!
Oh, and photo credits to Brooke. She takes good pictures too.
Ok, so here's some of the shots:






My favorite shot right now!

LA Allure (Publicity, San Luis Obispo CA)

Matt Brown and his girlfriend Lexi started LA Allure with one thing in mind: be awesome! And I think they succeeded. All last week we shot some really cool people hanging out representing Matt's clothing company. This line is all guys and girls t-shirts, but he has big plans for next seasons release. The shoot was crazy, but we pulled it off. 3 days and and close to 20 models later, we are happy about the outcome! I am really really excited about these photos, and I met some super awesome people, who are now my friends. So yeah... check it:

Biola / Hollywood

Jered Scott. Jered shoots bands. He's blowing up with his concert photography! Check his work out! Anywho, I got to hangout with him for a day in LA. Oh, if you ever get a chance to eat at a BJ's, try the oreo pizzone! It wins.




The following day, I headed north to visit a friend in Hollywood. Cory O'Keefe works two jobs, interns for Universal Records, and goes to UCLA. He defines busy. It was awesome of him to make some time to hang out.

Klaus

I got a kitten!!! YAY! His name is Klaus, and he is my new photo processing buddy. When I'm not shooting, you can usually find me at home in front of my computer. Yes I am a nerd. But now I don't have to nerd out alone! Klaus is a nerd too. We were checking the new ipod touch today. Anywho, here's the raddest kitty ever:

Brand.

Jaime Merz WINS! Cameron Ingalls introduced me to her, to design a logo and brand for my business. Like most people, I had no idea what I wanted, so she helped me to discover my inner creative Josh. By spending hours on the phone, and thru many thought provoking questions, we came up with the perfect brand. She is AWESOME I could not be happier working with her. Jaime Merz you ROCK!

Beckie and Brent (Engagement, San Luis Obispo CA)

Hot couple on a hot day! They're from Paso, so they're use to the heat. Beckie and Brent are rad. They are both so much fun to be around. Brent is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. They are so cozy together! I really had fun hanging with them. I can't wait for their wedding!
