Just the most amazing papa. He's also a pretty awesome husband and best friend as well.

Happy Father's Day to this guy and all the other dads out there.

I took these two photos the morning before we moved to Southern California. We are still on the hunt for a new home (I've been told I'm being too picky), so understandably, I miss these moments in our creaky old apartment. LA is so very big and selecting just one area to permenantly call ours has been difficult.

Thankfully, we have our family, friends, and incredible mexican food to keep us occupied while we search. Thankfully.

Despite my ever-so-slight hesitation towards our move to the sunnier half of California (I mean, come on, San Francisco you guys), things started to feel like home rather quickly. The weather is fantastic and I've purchsed a few tank tops to help ease into the sun. There may even be a glimmer of tan on our shoulders. Maybe.

I snapped these photos on my phone while we get settled. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to explore with my camera in hand soon. There are so many new sights and colors to enjoy. This should be fun.

It would be impossible to fully express how much we have fallen in love with the Bay Area. You guys, this is one incredible place. It was even harder to make the decision to permanently set sail for Los Angeles. 

In two weeks we will pack our bags, our belongings, and our sunscreen (I assume we'll need sunscreen) to make the journey down the coast to our new home.

As sad as it will be to say goodbye to everything/everyone around us, we're pretty excited for the new scenery, the family and friends we will finally be near, and the adventures waiting patiently for our arrival.

The newest volume of Off Switch magazine is out and looking quite beautiful. I feel honored to have my photos featured alongside some very talented creatives. 

These photos of the oh-so-beautiful Diana, were captured a few months ago in collaboration with Nirav Patel. If you haven't had a chance to browse his work, please do, it's a treat for the eyes. 

Mixtape #1  • Spring 2013

Spring is my favorite season of the year. It's the slow beginning to something exciting. It is warm air and cool nights, rain, wind, and bold colors emerging from winter. Trips to the beach become more frequent and the camping adventures begin to take shape. The music that represents these days is much the same—a small space between upbeat and melancholy.

I have seen a lot of incredible projects in my short time shooting for Oh Happy Day, but this one is definitely a favorite. Jordan is one crafty brilliance. 

These few photos were shot in my living room, and while I was tempted (very tempted) to leave the installation hanging for as long as possible, we needed to eventually move the sofa back to its home. 

Also, since Mike the Cat did not make the cut on the post today, I decided to give him a home over here. He is just so photogenic.

These photos are old news, but they needed to grace this oh-so-new-and-fancy blog because Mt. Tam is just the best. The best! 

Fog and stuff, you know!?

A new post for Twelve is up for May! Click on over and join the fun. 

I know, I know, I'm a mess. Just like most of you out there, I'm still figuring out this Internet thing. I have decided to switch over to the ever-so-popular Squarespace and I must say, it's very impressive. And just in case all this talk of site jumping is a bore, see above photos. Atticus is at the very least, mildly entertaining.
