Mel + Brandon

Huntington Dog Beach ✺  California

Have you ever seen a dog surf before? Little did I know that on my adventure shooting with Mel + Brandon (+ Brini) we would come upon some local pups prepping for the next day's surf competition. A very bright morning with not a cloud in the sky, we had a blast chilling and playing around beachside, capturing images of the couple in a very laid back, California style.

LIFEstyle at it's best...

Karis

Pasadena, CA

I decided to finally post this sweet + sunny session on this rainy day today, one of my favorite family shoots yet.  I met up with Kristin, Brandon and their daughter Karis to celebrate her first birthday.  With a beautiful cake, warm weather, and perfect styling by Kristin herself, it was a wonderful story to capture.  Not to mention the addition of Grandma and sister to complete the family fun.  So much love...

Lost Orchard

Warwick, NY

There is something quite beautiful and nostalgic about the change that occurs in Autumn.  It is the most fleeting of seasons and lost to winter in the blink of an eye.  We decided to explore the idea of "decay" as well as "abundance" in our orchard shoot, two opposing themes emerging from the final moments of the harvest season.  Surrounded by the sickly sweet smell of rotting apples, warm golden sun, and the final orange and crimson leaves lingering on the trees, we spent a few hours relishing the ephemeral season.
