8 girls + 8 guys = SWEET SIXTEEN!!!

You’ve gotta click HERE to check out the previous sneak peek blog post and story…you know you wanna!

Just for laughs…

We photographed the above series of images separately (cropped ‘in camera’) and then pieced together in post production. We never meant to compose the images this way at the time but after some experimentation we knew we just had to show em’ this way.  Hope it made you giggle!

These two were a blast to photograph. We first met David + Elfi at the Modern Phoenix Expo a few weeks ago. They LOVED our booth coxy mod living rm display + photography…so we squeezed in a session within that week! WOOHOO! They we’re in town all the way from Canada too. SWEET!!! So we of course had them come to our neck of the woods. Plus we’ve been wanting to photograph a spunky fun couple in this cool historic parking garage in downtown Tucson for quite sometime now. YAY…we all totally worked it out & how could we not? Especially with tons of YUMMY tiltshift lens goodness and perfect sunlight. Check em’ ooooooout…..

We are sooooo HAPPY to finally show off this fabulous photographic collection!!! Back in January we collaborated with another ah-mazing husband + wife team for a two day photography (insert mega-phone & a man with a very deep voice shouting)…EXTRA.VA.GANZA!!! Click…here if you don’t remember our sneak peek blog post & to learn more.  Greenray went ‘live’ online last week and we couldn’t be more excited for Read + Amber.  ’But what is greenray?’ you ask!.  Oh silly rabbit just a piece of organic eco YUMMY-NESS that makes you wanna just jump for joy. Really!!!  When we first heard what this whole-hearted company was about we knew it was going to be a HUGE success!  Their amazing concept is to help spread awareness about environmental issues through a bug named ‘Ray’…their ECO-friendly ‘praying mantis’ who appears differently on every shirt design.

So we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ask you to check out their bitchin’ website @ www.gogreenray.com and see for yourself how dope their branding + graphics + over all environmental friendly vibe is…it’ll melt your mind.  Better yet it’ll make you wanna go start gardening!  We LOVE when fellow artists incorperate all things green & sustainable within their business and most importantly within their lifestyle.  All of greenray’s tees are made of organic cotton, their screenprinters + tailors are within walking distance of their office, and they give back to the community through carbonfund.org & trees for the future.  They even have a tree planted every time a shirt is sold!!!  WAY COOL!!!

Congrats Read + Amber!  We are so happy to have connected with you two and even more to have become your friends.

We hope you enjoy the photography + eco shirts

Don’t Canadians rock?  We think so!!!

Last weekend Eric & I had the pleasure (scratch that)…lovely challenge of photographing a whole group of crazy fun teenagers for Julissa’s sweet 16 pre-party bash!  We headed out to hit the streets of downtown Tucson for some urban yumminess.  And boy did we find it.  As Eric & I scouted out the location within the parking garage we were greeted by security as we had set off the surveillance sensors on the upper deck! ***SWEET*** Wouldn’t be a shoot without doing so now would it?.  I guess we have to have a permit to use the upper deck but not the lower two floors.  And thankfully this little spot of goodness was located just above ground level…so we soaked it up.  Although this image might seem quite simple to orchestrate…your dead wrong.  You try getting 16 teenagers to all pose straight on to the camera with no ‘diva’ or ‘GQ’ attidudes….it’s rough! And for them to NOT talk while doing so.  But we wooooorked it out and this was basically the only shot where all of them did their job. Woo hoo…that’s all it takes and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
