On our way to Pismo Beach last weekend, we took a much needed pit stop at In-N-Out.  You just can't beat a Double Double animal style.  Happy Friday!

During my last trip to Salt Lake City, I met up with the super talented and rad Courtney Winnie for some shaved ice and photo expedition.  It's always fun to meet up with other photographers and try out some new things.  I'm a firm believer in the importance of shooting for yourself - and doing it OFTEN.  It really helps to keep the creativity flowing.

Courtney is a photographer currently in SLC, but relocating to Orange County.  We can't wait to welcome her here with open arms.

I'm headed up to Utah tonight.  I'm doing a photobooth for the Tooele High School 10-year reunion tomorrow in Salt Lake City.  I'm so stoked.

For all you Utah peeps, I'll be back up the end of July and will have some time to do a few portrait / engagement / family sessions.  Send me an email if you're interested.

Here's a few shots I took recently with my Holga camera.  I shot all of these on Kodak E 100 VS slide film (yes I shoot film from time to time believe it or not) and then had them cross-processed.  Enjoy.

Stunning.  Incredible.  Succulent.  Billowy.  Immaculate.

Just a few words to describe the Butchart Gardens in Victoria B.C.  This truly is one of Canda's finer gems.  We pulled up to the Gardens and almost didn't go in because it was somewhat expensive; however, we quickly repented once we went in.

The place was amazing.  If any of you live in Canada, I suggest having your wedding here.  You'd be cooler than Donald Trump.

All images were shot with either my 50mm 1.2L or 24mm 1.4L wide open.
