Danielle and Phil

What an amazing way to finish out this season. Thank you Danielle and Phil for just a fantastic day. I'll post some other images once I get a chance to edit the whole wedding (I promise Jules) ... but for now, I thought I'd at least share the slideshow.

God bless you guys.

It's been a while :-)

Hey everyone!

Between the downtown move, speaking in New York at PhotoExpo for Pictage, having a blast speaking to a bunch of mother's of preschoolers in Long Beach, getting inspired by these heroes of the photo world to start SimplePhotoLife.com and SimplePhotoForum.com ... not to mention finishing off a crazy wedding season, I've been a bit swamped.

I felt inspired this morning though to throw together a little collage of some fun moments from this last season. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did shooting. What a fun year!

I also just wanted to touch base, let you know that I'm back and am amped for what's to come, especially for SimplePhotoLife.

Stay tuned!

Christmas is Coming!

I am excited to highlight two fantastic ways to share your favorite images from this year ...

First we have our Fine Art Photo Card Collection. These gorgeous cards come in three designs and are made of high quality stock paper. Ordering is simple. Just go to your Pictage event and click on “Second Set of Prints” and you’ll find everything you need!

Or, for a more permanent record of your day, we are also offering for the first time our brand new Signature Coffee Table Books. The beauty of these photo books are their ease of creation and incredible cost savings!

Here’s how the books work: You simply pick as many photographs as you’d like from your event at Pictage, throw them in a folder and order the book right online. You can’t miss the link. We will edit them for you and get them to your door right away. In terms of value, this may be the best product for the money that we’ve ever offered.

Let me know if you have any questions about the books or the cards!




PS ... Our space at Bogart's is totally coming together. Swing by if you get a chance!

Changing the world ...

I mentioned a while back that my man Justin Zoradi (JZ) was going to relocate to Northern Ireland. Well, he's there now and is tearin' it up. It's his inspiring trek to change the world for good that compelled me to nominate him as my most recent "Featured Friend" ... check him out!

On a far less dramatic note, in between the transition downtown, Jordan and I got to shoot at the Bacara this weekend and had a great time doing it. Check out Rebecca and Dan's Day for all the fun. Cheers!

Ladies and Gentlemen ... Jordan McOwen!

The new BMOC at DSP is Jordan McOwen. Not only is he a great shooter and fantastic guy to work with, he also happens to be an artist with the saw. Some of you guys got to hang with Jordan at PartnerCon and know first hand how super this guy is. So stoked you're on the team Jordan!

Drew working it ...

Drew decided to put off going to bed so he could get in the game. He's such a little stud and a great helper.

I on the other hand was useless just wandering around taking pictures :-).

Work to do :-)

I tried to find the most awful picture I could muster to show you the "before" look. I think you'll be impressed with where it's headed.

More to come ...

Downtown Bound

I'm so sorry I've been out of the loop recently. Between shooting and working out some cool new moves for DSP (more to come on that later :-)), we are finally able to announce our move downtown!

We're in the process of building out our space in the upstairs loft of Bogart's in beautiful La Arcada, just a block off State St. in Santa Barbara. We are so excited.

If you get a second, come on in and check out the action in person!!
