A slow day in Santa Barbara

A few months ago we headed up to visit our good friends Kris & Cori in Santa Barbara (remember them, their wedding was in Breckenridge Colorado). I have to tell you that I am thoroughly jealous of their beautiful beach style bungalow. It was such a joy to relax with them, especially with Kris’s homemade sangria and avocado spread. Here’s a few photos from the weekend. Thanks again for having us up guys! We’re down any time!





Babies, Toddlers, and…. Coffee Bean!

A couple of months ago, I hung out with my good friend Ryan Phillips at his studio. We did a few photos of him and his new daughter Kennedy, and then we headed out to give Ryder a chance to unwind in the park. I love photographing both of his kids because they have the brightest blue eyes, and they’re used to seeing cameras all day so they never flinch when you break one out. Here’s a few from our little get together. Enjoy.

Emi & I had the privilege of working with Brock Hillman to create the album art for his newest release “Where I’ve always been”.  We were so excited to be a part of his latest album, we were thrilled that he asked us to work with him. You can check out his website at http://www.brockhillman.com/ ( you can preview the songs if you’re interested in buying the CD. ) We just got the CD in the mail today so I thought I’d show you how it turned it out. Brock & Brandelyn, thank you for wonderful evening, and for mailing us the CD! Congrats again on the new release.
