A New Life...

Working with the International Institute of Minnesota, I recently had the chance to shoot groups of refugees arriving in Minnesota for the first time. Documenting those first moment, first smells and first sights was really interesting, especially when they are things you know so well. I had the chance to shoot in and around the airport, with the second part of the shoot soon to take place in the homes on Minnesota's newest citizens. Stay tuned for the second installment of this project...
Next week I'll be showing portfolios in and around the massively creative city of Portland, Oregon...

Pushing The Brand...

Some new promotional material and branding is just coming back from the designer. Really excited about a newer, fresher look. Decided to get away from the block color from the last few years and throw in a little bit of texture.
This will be implemented in everything from invoices to promos to email blasts. Hope you enjoy the new look, enjoy the fall weekend!...

Outtakes...


It is always exciting to see how work gets used in the final product. Here are a few examples of some in store signage shot. A few silly outtakes in there as well. It really brings the projects full circle once you see them printed up. Lovely.

A few fun projects are in the works including some more motion shoots throughout the season...

Cien AƱos en Peru...


Did you know that this is the 100 year anniversary of Hiram Bingham re-discovering Machu Picchu?
