Hi friend-

Welcome to an update that will be so quick the ice in your coffee won't even melt!

Minus a gnarly warehouse fire in my neighborhood that has threatened our enviable California blue skies, June has been a great start to summer.

This month saw the opening of the APA Off the Clock Gallery show at the Reef which I have a piece in, shoots both technical and whimsical in my studio, farewell to a favorite prop shop and friend + so many adventures with my little son.

 
 

Now that the images are ready, I am please to share my collaboration with Jikoni, a stunning Afri-cali dinner party concept that is equal parts gorgeous and delicious.

This shoot was a great reminder that you don't always need a giant crew or a grip truck of gear to make something beautiful- just great communication, teamwork and planning! 

Check out the BTS below to see how it came together and some of the truly tragic faces I make while concentrating.

xoxo
