last day of THE BLEND WORKSHOP and i was ready to drop the hammer of awesome on our dear friends ashley and jeremy parsons! it was the first day i got to shoot where the light wasn't eye blinding middle of the day sun...instead we had a huge storm moving in that blanketed santa fe with 8 inches of fresh snow that night :) i'm so stoked on these images...and even more to have gotten the best photography compliment of my life from ashley parsons about them :) enjoy!

BOOM.

BOOM SAUCE.

day two of THE BLEND WORKSHOP, we rocked out with the uber-swank sarah and david! they went all out for their modeling and sported some fantastic pink digs for us...sarah's mom actually handmade her amazing dress the night before!!! i am SO excited about so many of their images!!!

BOOM. EYEGASM.

we had an absolute BLAST last week at THE BLEND WORKSHOP out in santa fe, new mexico!!! we met so many new friends and talented photographers :) we're obviously biased, but the week was AMAZING...whenever we do BLEND 2...you should be there!!!

here's some of our favs of our wonderful models nicole and daniel :)

after many many many hours of work designing, redesigning, writing, and searching through hundreds of thousands of our images from the past few years, we are finally ready to unveil our new website!!!

our last website has served us well since it launched and redefined our brand back in 2005. four years later it was definitely time for an update! this new site is more of an evolution of our brand than a revolution...we loved what we created four years ago, it was just time for a little injection of awesome-sauce :) we wanted the site to have a definite personality but still wanted it to be very clean and image focussed. we are super proud of the "info" sections, we dropped plenty of kaiserisms in there to keep it fresh and fun for the readers :) we're also so stoked to have a house for so much of our new work!!! as many of you know, sometimes we fall a "bit" behind on blogging, so there were so many images that we never got to share! we are also super duper excited to finally have our awesome associate photographer michael chan on our main site!!! michael has been shooting for us for the past six months and we are so excited to have him as part of our team :)

we custom designed the whole site and every single piece all the way down to the buttons, custom font, and the juke box :) it was definitely a labor of love over the past year but now that it is finished, we couldn't be happier!!! we need to throw a HUGE shout out to our wonderful, make anything happen, uber talented friends over at BLUDOMAIN for so perfectly taking our vision and making it come to life. an extra special thanks to zahari, bludomain's genius flash programmer, who worked tirelessly on creating so many of the unique features on our new site. MAJOR HIGH FIVES TO YOU GUYS!!!

so without further ado, we'd like to invite you to visit the new and improved...
