Yay!!! So excited to finally talk about this with all of you lovely people. My great friend Erin Durband aka ‘Mama D’ (you’ll have to ask me about the nickname) started brainstorming a wonderfully whimsical project last year.  It’s called ‘Laundry Bags‘.  Erin is fine art photographer located here in Tucson, Arizona and her idea was formed out of fustration.  Cause that’s usually when all great ideas are formed aren’t they?.  You can’t find it…well then create it.  And that’s exactly what she did.  Can I get a ‘WOOT WOOT‘!!!  Erin’s photographic speciality ‘trash the dress’ or as she clever-ly named it ‘dirty laundry’ needed something to deliver the dirty laundry in…meaning her artwork.  Laundry Bags was born!!!  These nifty bags are the perfect mixture for taking a sample canvas or framed artwork to a client meeting or when hand delivering a sold product to a client. They’re so cute, cozy and fashionable.  A groovy solution for photographers by a photographer wouldn’t you say?.

All bags are hand-made by Erin.  They are not cut from a pattern but exclusively designed.  No one bag will ever be duplicated.  Each are fully lined with coordinating or contrasting fabric adding an extra security for your precious artwork.  The handles are way too cute.  Some of the bags even have pockets.  Certain styles contain a small pocket perfect for your business cards and others have larger pockets for albums + prints. Custom orders are available upon request and can be designed to cordinate with your brand.  I think she’s thought of it all!!!  To check out the orginality head over to the Laundry Bags Etsy site now to reserve yours.




Also last Sunday Eric & I had the pleasure of photographing Erin for some new publicity shots plus two of her latest bag designs! It’s so FUN photographing other photographers…they usually know exactly what to do and can grasp the concepts we’re envisioning. It’s SWEET!!!

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…..

I would have to say that shadow shots are my FAVORITE images to create. While editing through the Elver’s family portrait session this one caught my eye. Eeeeeek don’t you just LOVE all the character in this photograph?. The detail of the hat, body shapes and Goliath’s puppy-dog ears!!! Me likey. Ok so I just changed my mind… shadow shots + dogs are my favorite!

I snagged this last Sunday during a family portrait session…I’m a giant! Well ok only in my shadow & dang that thing follows me EVERYWHERE!

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
