It’s been FOREVER since we’ve posted some behind the scenes shots! So we’ll just get right to it because there’s a lot…


So happy my sister Julie came along to be the dog walker + wrangler!



We found Eric’s camera bag at a 2nd hand vintage store & our friend Erin customized the interior to hold a camera body + lens + gadgets.



It was a jungle out there!






Testing the light and shadow.



We love photographing in a parking garage because we can escape the Tucson heat.  Plus there’s always great hard light coming in at all angles.



Palm trees in the desert?… yes it’s a bizarre concept.


Gotta love the height in the hallways of our new place!







Notice how lil Cora has her foot on her dad’s… so cute!


Making airplane sounds to get Cora’s attention.  One of my many talents!



Below are some client captured iPhone images of us in action. It’s rare that we’re both in the shot. Thanks Ryan!

Everyone meet Ryan, Sheena and lil’ Cora!!!  We first met Ryan and Sheena (a truly adorable couple) a few years ago when they modeled/collaborated on the greenray project. BTW, during that time Sheena was knocked up. So when we bump’d (no pun intended) into each other over the summer and finally saw Cora, we knew it was time to hook up again.  They were the PERFECT family to take on an adventure around our new place. And if you know us well, you know how inspired we are with the architecture + landscape.  We’re pretty sure that Ryan (a kick ass graphic designer) approved the aesthetic too.

Here’s proof that our morning together was filled with yummy light, bitchin’ attire and a little sprinkle of love…

Ryan reached out to his jewelry-maker friend Laura of Wingflash about borrowing a chunky gold necklace and she totally delivered!  I covet her crystal & turquoise creations.
