Mike & Lauren-Elizabeth flew out from Boston to her grandparent's house in Hot Springs, Arkansas. We shared a home cooked dinner with them and listened to Lauren-Elizabeth's Step-Grandfather play some country tunes on his guitar.
We were lucky enough to be commissioned to do a commercial project for DaySpring Cards (owned by Hallmark Cards). We shot many Lisa Leonard Design pieces, Joyn products, and some home decor. Below are a few of the images we shot for them. DaySpring also sent along someone from their video team to film our photo shoot, so be sure to check out that video at the bottom of the page. We shot on location at Inventory, Flora and at our studio, The Workhorse. Also, a big thanks to the Creative Directors at DaySpring and our models Alex Bodishbaugh & Sara Morgan. Head on over to DaySpring's website to see more of the photos.

Last week we photographed a sunrise yoga class at Yellow Rock Overlook in Devil's Den State Park. The class was sponsored by Fayettechill and Soul Yoga Lounge. The class was taught by Alexandira Mero. Daniel from Pelikan Films also came along and captured all the action in cinematic form. Can't wait to see what he comes away with! Here's how it all went down... Everyone arrived at Fayettechill's Basecamp in downtown Fayetteville, AR at 5am. We caravanned to Devil Den's State Park and hiked the 1.5 mile Yellow Rock Trail in the dark. Once everyone arrived at the Yellow Rock Overlook, Alexandria expertly led the class. I believe most of the students are taking Hot Yoga. Hot Yoga is done in around 105°. On this particular day it was only 28°. Keeping that in mind and that the class took part on uneven rock on the edge of a cliff, it was a challenge even for the most advanced students.
A couple good friends and I wanted to go on a winter adventure. Our sights were set for the Ouachita Mountains. We drove through the forest dirt roads for a good hour trying to get ourselves lost. Once we could go no further by car, due to a fallen tree, we packed up our gear and set up to the top of the peak by foot. This was a much needed retreat.
Here's a few of my favorites.
Meet Trevor. We had a great time wandering all over Cedar Rapids. As the sun started setting we decided to ramp up the energy, light some torches, and run through the woods.
Both Nathan and Mandie are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. This Iowa native, is one hard working dude. He is incredibly down-to-earth and is eager to help out anyone. Mandie, a Texan and the outgoing one, is so easy to connect with and always up for a spirited conversation. After the successful shoot we all celebrated with a giant catfish & chicken feast at Catfish Cabin, overlooking Beaver Lake... YUM!
