Ask me where we think God will take us on our photography journey we'll honestly tell you that we have no idea.  But one thing that we do know is that we try to continue to push the boundaries of what we believe we can accomplish. 

That takes us to our first concept shoot with my new friend Sam =)  If you've never heard of a concept shoot or a test shoot, its when we come up with everything for the shoot...from what the theme of the shoot will be, the kind of styling we want, the person doing the hair+makeup, the guy(s) or girl(s) that'll be modeling for us and lastly location.  Then after all that is figured out, we (the photographers) try to execute it.  Of course on a bigger scale (say for a client like J.Crew or GAP) this gets more complicated but i guess this is what you can call "practice" =)  For more details from a pro, click here.

This was a few week of work rolled into one long day so a big thanks goes to the team involved...you guys are awesome! =)...

Hello. You guys are sexy pants-es. Thank you for knowing us and you together. I tend to make my comments look like spam. It's kind of a comment lotto if you will. Maybe you'll see it, maybe you won't.
