When Eric and I first met Read & Amber of ‘greenray‘ tees we were BLOWN AWAY by their enthusiasm. They’re a husband + wife creative duo…just like us! So they know exactly how fabulous it is to work together as a partnership. And of course we wouldn’t have it any other way!!! Read + Amber are starting a brand NEW adventure together within the clothing industry. So exciting!!! Their AMAZING concept behind greenray’s organic graphic tees is to help spread awareness about environmental issues through a bug named Ray…their ECO-friendly ‘praying mantis’. He’s way cool and gets to participate in so many RAD-ilicious activities…from biking to meditation to breakdancing!!! Their first line up which hits this spring consists of 13 designs made for men & women…some are for both! But you’ll just have to wait n’ see all their wicked creations once the site unveils….oh’ so very soon! Seriously you’re gonna LOVE IT!!!

Here’s just a little teaser of ‘breaker ray’ the version for women to hold ya over. Can you spot ‘ray’?.

And we can’t say this enough but thanks again Read & Amber for such a killer weekend of shooting. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of models/friends to hang out with during the journey!
Enjoy…

Yay…these are finally up! Phew…it’s been a little crazy around here and I want to THANK Liora for being soooooo patient. We met Liora back in October (I know I know this post is well over-due) and she couldn’t be more sweeter.  See more about our introduction…HERE!  I can truly say I really enjoyed working on her images along with all the COOL architecture shots Eric photographed. It’s so easy to get consumed by such Ah-mazing details when they involve modern textures and elements.  It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it sure the heck is ours!!! We’re going to have to create a ‘BEST OF THE BEST’ blog post from 2009’s random objects and details.  FOR REAL!  And Liora’s shoot has lots of them…it was hard for me not to combine them all in her flipside portrait session.  It just added to the character of the shoot and we LOVE that.  Not to mention how easy it was to photograph her.  Photographing photographers or artists in general lends it self to an experience filled with tons of creativity. Everyone gets involved.  The shared ideas and visions make the concept much more powerful.  We can’t wait to collaborate with many more artists in the future.  Hint…hint…we have something up our sleeves for 2010…but you’ll just have to wait and see!












































We are now booking flipside and me2 portrait sessions for January & Febuary in the Tucson and Phoenix area. Please contact us to inquire more information on booking your HIP photographic experience!  You know you wanna.  If you know anyone who’s attracted and inspired by the type of photography we create…we would LOVE for you to pass along our website and blog links. NETWORKING & REFERRALS ARE THE BESTEST!!!

I LURVVVVE this flipside session Eric & I photographed with my sister Julie and her two dogs for her Birthday!!! Click…HERE to read more about our concept in our previous sneak peek. This post is quite a long one so just pace yourself. It’s always so hard to decide which images to showcase on here…I’m thinking that’s a good thing. OH YES! These two pooches are beyond cutie-patooties. Bella the ‘mommy’ of the two just likes to be loved and loves EVERYONE (she’s the black & white one). Whereas Rylie is the mischievous adventurous type. And they complete each other. A perfect sister-ship x 4.

I’m so glad we did the session when we did because I just found out early this morning by text message…5 am to be exact that Bella had a siezure. Rylie frantically paced the house and kept whining trying to wake Julie. At first my sister thought an intruder was in her house! Scary. But then she figured out what all the commotion was about. She found Bella in the hallway all curled up. The attack lasted for around 40 seconds which always seems longer when it’s happening. She finally relaxed after Julie cuddled with her. UGH…how nerve-racking. Bella was checked out immediately this morning by her vet and was given a good bill of health…Phew! No valley fever like Rylie. So at this point we still don’t know what caused the episode and now it’s Rylie’s job to look after her while Julie is at work. I just know she’ll play her part.

Ok no more sad talk…on to the FABULOUS photographs! I promise you’ll like them…

Wha-what!!! Yep another fun shoot with my sister Julie and her doggies. Only this time we ventured out further beyond Tucson and found some delicious pale yellow fields of grass. Yes Arizona does have fields. I know crazy huh?! It’s nice to have a change from the urban look that we always enjoy. So we packed up the car with lots of water and cozy blankets for the dogs and headed out for the afternoon to grab some killer photographs. Eric and I surprised my sister with the concept on her birthday back in mid October. Everytime we visit her home we notice how empty and lonely the walls are. So we decided to plan a flipside shoot and create some AH-mazing artwork for her to display. We’re going to hang some of our larger scale MOD canvas wraps which will make a BOLD statement in her place. I can’t wait to show you the layout. In the meantime here’s a little peek at what we had up our sleeves. Can you say….’way CUTE!!!’ LOVE IT!!!  Meet Bella. She was the * of our last shoot (click HERE to see it) and soon you’ll be introduced to her other roommate Riley. Riley isn’t as photogenic as Bella but we sure did trick her into getting some great shots!

They met at a party.  They were both there to meet someone else.  The funny story is that their dates didn’t show and they ended up hitting it off. Karen and Chris are perfect together.  A little apprehensive in front of the camera, but the feeling left very very quickly.  We told em’ we were here to have some FUN and we totally did!!! How could we not…we were surrounded by YUMMY architectural details and mucho history.  In case you’re wondering the flipside took place in Bisbee, Arizona (an old miners town)!  If you’d like to read more about our trip…click HERE!  The day was filled with laughter, silliness and tons and tons of details (we heart em’).  We’re so HAPPY to show you the lovely Anniversary gift Karen gave to Chris. Sooooo sweet!
