“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” – Robert Louis Stevenson
Nichol : Joshua Tree Portraits
“Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and it's beauty.” ― Albert Einstein
A bit from Mike on this session:
My approach to taking these pictures of Nichol was to show her athletic side as well as her beauty. We began by shooting some simple portraits...But then something else happened. The air cooled, the wind picked up and magic started happening. She was a dancer at one time, so encouraged her to move freely around the desert. Sometimes a persons beauty, personality, and desires show in a photo. That's what I'm always looking for...especially in portraits. Nichol was able to go there. She had so many looks, such graceful movement, and beauty in her eyes that allowed me to capture so many different looks. It was yet another dream shoot. I feel lucky and grateful. -Mike

4 Things //Pride & Beauty
Happy Pride Weekend!
Photographing: Jenna is in her last couple weeks of pregnancy. What a beauty. Aubree and Travis' engagement shoot in Orange County exploring some of their favorite beaches and getting to know them.
Dreaming of: Mike's mom is coming to town for two weeks this month. We are hoping to take a road trip up to Bridgeport near Yosemite for a big family camping trip.
Listening to: Elle Luna on Creative Live. Chase Jarvis' 30 Days of Genius is a pretty intriguing series. I love black and white photography and don't often see black and white video.
Reading: Ender's Game for book club
