There is nothing better then heading home to welcome the newest member to the family.  Congrats guys, I love you!!!

* Meet Everett *

On top of the excitement of welcoming this little guy to the family I had some time this trip to visit the beach, hang out at a pumpkin patch, visit the park, see my younger brother and just simply enjoy my family!  All in all, it was a lovely trip filled with lots of love and joy!

* Hello October *

* Beach Day*

After a night at the beach, we returned to my brother’s house for one last night, and then said our goodbyes.

It had been nearly 8 years since I have last seen Matt around, and to reunite for something like this was pretty special.  Matt Santos and I met when I was in collage – he worked at the coffee shop around the corner from the dorms and was always very kind to me.  Later in the school year I had found out that he was also an incredibly talented artist.  He was very involved in the art community and would often hold open-mic nights in the coffee shop, even some gallery showings (in fact, my first photography show was held there).  So, it was a pleasure to help on the ‘Burning Up’ music video for Matt’s most recent album, Quickly Disappearing.  I highly recommend you check it out!

Till then, here are some images from the shoot.  I hope you enjoy!  And be sure to check back to see Nick Cavalier’s finished product of the video.

Pictures like these are made because self-timers exist.

Zombie Stars  is an exclusive clothing brand that focuses on zombie versions of your favorite stars. The designs are hand illustrated and hand printed.  Imagery shows a take on things and pop-culture, and zombie-related fun.

The main focus of Zombie Stars Clothing is to create a lasting brand, an eye catching apparel line, and a profitable business for all involved.  Shirts will be coming soon to a store near YOU so keep your eye out!

So, this past weekend I had the pleasure of getting my hands on a variety of these shirts and finding some wonderful people to model them for me.  They each individually gave up their time willingly and did an incredible job showcasing ZombieStarsClothing.

Once again, I thank you ALL for your time and help during the shoot.  I know Tony Cavailer (owner) and his brother, Nick thank you as well.

Thanks to: Jerrod Johnson, Bethany Price, Willie Lee, Caroline Maja Jaecks, Amelinda Burich, Sean Raasch & Joel Coan for modeling.  Nick Cavalier for helping out on set and his brother, Tony Cavalier -owner of Zombie Stars Clothing.  Also, a special thanks to Priscilla Benitez, from Beauty Hair Salon for doing the make up and hair on set.

I was stoked to be apart of this commercial production for LUVD because I love what it stands for; and how it promotes a lifestyle.  The idea of living your day to day life with passion, adventure, joy, and most of all Love.  With that in mind, we had a fun day in the city just ‘Living LUVD’.

Enjoy this short but sweet blog post.

In flight.Let the shooting begin…

So, we woke up bright & early and headed to the beach on a foggy morning for some test shooting.  The first day consisted of scouting out locations and shooting the sunset scenes.  * Photo’s of Brian are captured during filming the ‘Sun Shower’ video…behind the scenes and sneak peaks *

Then came the anticipation of the sunset.
