soooooo...we have a private shootshop scheduled for this monday (the 29th) and we need an awesome couple that is madly in love to model for us! if you've been waiting for the chance to strut your stuff, here it is! we would need you at our studio in oceanside from 1:00ish-4:00ish on monday the 29th. we'll waive our standard $500 session fee for the shoot and present your images to you online when they're all finished! interested? EMAIL US ASAP with your names, a recent photo, and why you rock the house!

in case you hadn't noticed by now...we're both photographers...with two adorable kids...with lot's of cameras...which means we've created a GIGANTOR amount of images over the years!!! with tens of thousands of images to choose from, and limited wall space in our home to display them on, we've always been paralyzed when it came to making choices about the select few that would make the wall. so we came up with this little diddy for some areas in our home! we mounted magnet boards from IKEA in series and then used mighty bits magnets to secure random prints and proofs on them. we can post bunches of our favorite images and switch them out and around whenever we feel like it. now as part of our export for personal images we blog, we export the images to a printed proof folder that we place orders from every few weeks so we always have new content to switch in and out :) i know i know...not revolutionary...but way more interesting to blog about than the crapstorm of cleaning i did all day today! happy saturday everyone!!!

another series over our bar...

speaking of adorable kids....since i had the camera out, had to grab some snaps of the kiddos! jasper loves veggies...and yes, that is a half of a zucchini he's chewing on :)

these next two were shot in the men's restroom :)

on wednesday we held another one day . our way shoothsop here are our studio in oceanside for 17 awesome photographers. we flipped some lids, popped some tops, and melted some minds! thanks to all of you who left your families, friends, homes and businesses to travel from all over this continent to come together and be with us! one of our awesome shootshoppers, brian, wrote down a few gems i dropped throughout the day...my english teacher would be so proud of my special little language :) here's just a few of wednesday's nate-isms... 1. she was all humpin' on my words. 2. well, what we do do...hehehe...I said do do. 3. woops! it looks like your card is still in my pee. 4. ...this is how my breath smells... 5. ...it just like, farts into blur. 6. they don't come out your butt! [at mollie who asked jaclyn how she could have two kids yet have such a small butt] 7. we set the camera to flash white balance so it doesn't look full retard. 8. hey, guess what, I sucked your butt in. [from the chapter "what not to say to a client"] 9. oh my god...it's like heaven opened up over his ass! [demonstrating the flare tool, said in his mocking, girly voice] 10. well if your branding is as boring as vanilla ice cream...your clients will put their toppings all over you and make you into "their" ice cream. we also took some purty pictures of the amazing molly and matt who came down to model for us...thanks guys :)

molly is a ice cold stunnah!
