Birthdays in Mexico

Last year for my 30th birthday a bunch of my friends and I went to mexico to celebrate. This year my friend Maddy turned 30 and we decided to do it again. This year there were two birthdays to Celebrate. Maddy and Caroline both have the same birthday, which made for a fun night. We rented the most amazing house in Sayulita Mexico. It was this giant orange house on a hill over looking the town. It was built like a tree house, there were many different levels and about one million stairs to climb. All in all I would say the trip was a success. There were a few hiccups on the trip, first being Alissa and my room got robbed. They only took some cash so considering what they could have taken, I think we got off pretty easy. The second problem was about six people got stuck in Mexico one extra night, due to some mechanical problems with there plain. Personally I think staying an extra night would be fun, but waiting in the airport for 6 hours sounds horrible. To see more photo's from the trip click here.

Seattle Metropolitan at Lucile

Seattle Metropolitan magazine came into the studio last week to shoot with Ryan McVay at our new studio Lucile. Thomas Northcut was in the studio that day, and was nice enough to help Ryan set up. Here is a little video I made of the shoot.

More Painting

Thommy, Ryan, and I painting more of the studio, here is another time lapse video. I will hopefully have finished photo's of the studio soon.

Painting the studio

Three photographers and myself are opening a photo studio called Lucile. We just found our studio space, and have spent the past couple days working on it. I filmed a time lapse video of the first day of painting, the battery died on the camera so you don't get to see the finished product. Check back over the next couple days to see more progress.

Alissa and I went to San Diego over Martin Luther King weekend. We had good weather for the first couple days, but then the rain came. We hung at the beach went on a nice hike, and ate good food. Click HERE to see more photos.

Pumpkin Patch

Alissa, Missy, and I decided it would be a good idea to go to the pumpkin patch on Sunday. They had a pumpkin catapult which was amazing. Here are some photo's from the day.
