heidi merrick // SS 2010: in studio

Here are a few quick shots we grabbed around Heidi's studio after the main shoot posted below. Heidi's clothes give off that effortlessly chic vibe...I'm pretty sure if I lived in her collection people would think I'm 100xs cooler than I actually am.

I received the opportunity to do a shoot with the darling Heidi Merrick, a clothing designer based in LA. I've followed her designs for a while and was so excited to have the chance to shoot her line. We shot her entire spring/summer collection in a half day...it was a feat but we made it happen it and had a great time. Check out more of her designs here.

Here are a few images from spring/summer...more fun stuff coming later this week from the shoot.

emily + steven // engaged

Really enjoyed shooting with these two...we went up in some backhills in the local area expecting to find lots of blooming yellow flowers but alas they were not there. It really didn't matter, it was gorgeous anyhow and these two made it work like nobody's business. Only a couple months until I get to photograph these two as they tie the knot!







It's not just a prop...they really do like playing backgammon (did I even spell that right?!) and wanted to make sure the playing pieces were in a 'realistic fashion' for the pictures haha

travels & upcomings // the inbetween

Things have been crazy lately (honestly, I sorta like things that way).  In the past month it's been one place to the next and I've thoroughly and completely enjoyed it...from roadtrippin' up the coast through Ca, Or, & Wa, to Israel, back to Wa, then to Canada..I'm finally home for a while.  Although, I'm sure I'll be itching to travel again soon, destination wedding anyone...anyone? ;)  There's plenty to show from landscapes, to engagement/wedding sessions, to a fun new project...it's just not all ready yet.  It goes without saying that I'm playing a bit of catch up, so stay tuned...


And since I know no one really cares about the above, here's a pic of the lovely Gina on the Sea of Galilee.
