Wont You Be My Little Buttercup

Buttercup Dunes.

This sand is REALLY hard to ride a bike in.

My husband makes it look so easy. So RAD!

Young Love

There is something so special about a young family with their lives just beginning. Everything is so big and new. I had the privilege of documenting the beginning of this beautiful young families journey.

Hot Night - Long Exposure

Not in focus, a little wobbly, A few lobster traps to make it more sparkly and my son excited to be in the shot decides to go out for a night swim. :)

American Gothic

My take on the classic "American Gothic" by Grant Wood.

Tattoo'ed Hooligans

Working on some ideas for portraits, and lookbooks. I love taking photos of my husband!!

Surfer Seriezzzzz Trois

Our friend Luke has a rad style of surfing. Not sure if it is because he is goofy or because he has this rad old school style. Sold, nothing to prove, just at complete peace.

Surfer Seriezzzzz Dux

Sufer Girlz ROCK!

Surfer Seriezzzzz Un

There is such a relationship between Human and Nature. This is a playful example of this.

my fried Owen surfs like the ocean is an old friend.

Couches

Not too comfortable looking but i was obsessed with their texture. The horrible thing is that I would never wish someone to sit on either of these couches. So they are left waiting, once the centerpiece of a family's home, now abandoned in the wilderness. Thought they deserved some glory :)

Fruit de Mer

Steve and Stephanie are two locals that catch what you will be eating in 90% of the Restaurants in the Santa Barbara County that sell fish. Your favorite Sushi restaurant that serves Uni... yah Stephanie totally DIVED for that yesterday.

Steve is like Santa Barbara's local "Deadliest Catch" Crab fisherman. His works with one deckhand, 3 day trips, totally hard core.

It was a pleasure shooting these dynamic people for one of the raddest local Magazines, Dining & Destinations. So next time you come to Santa Barbara pay homage to these hard working, dedicated fishermen and women and enjoy some of our local Sea Food Restaurants.

Rad Dude - Desert Road

I never caught this cat's name but he was one cool dude. I could imagine. . . . . .

A blue 1970s Ford Maverick sedan
Dry Mexican Desert Road
finger in the glove box
Trunk full of money

Would you just look at it?

I need to get Sal a camera

I Love Lucy

I had so much fun with my friend Lucy and creating this cool Pin Up Girl shoot. She is an amazing woman, we laughed the ENTIRE TIME. It was hard to keep the camera stable. :)

I provided the hive, she came with the bee's.

Swimwear Editorial

Swimwear is hot and exciting right now. So I created a "fake" Swimwear Editorial/Lifestyle Lookbook. Here is my favorite shot of the whole day so far.

So myself, a few friends and some amazing local girls/models went to Lizards Mouth a sand stone heaven in Santa Barbara. I personally love this spot.
I can only hope to get some gigs out of this!!! More pictures to come!

KLOS Heels and Wheels

Last weekend I did a pretty rad photo shoot for my Brother. He wanted to enter the KLOS Heels and Wheels contest. Turns out his Girlfriends daughter modeled for Roxy and Gap.... so we set out to kick some KLOS ass. Payton rocked it and we created a classy yet sexy enough vibe to remain competitive. We used the classic car that our parents rode off on their honeymoon in 45 years ago, a 1966 Ford Mustang that was given to my Brother for his Birthday.

I love how they turned out! Payton is so fun and I can not wait to work with her again! I will keep y'all posted to who the winner is.
