Black and White

Black and white is meant to enhance a mood, a room, elegance. Even when the light is perfect in color, it sometimes to better to switch it. Eden hit all three due to the location, the style and the personality!

And like that the summer of 2020 ended, Thank God!

Water, water, everywhere, summer came and went like the blink of an eye. Thank you ladies for coming out and having some fun! Enjoy your fall adventures and be safe!

Larkin Family 2020!

Where were you in 2020? Who cares, the family Larkin doing what they do every few years and updating the family album. How do kids get to be so big so fast? What a great family! Truly some of the kindest people I have had the pleasure of knowing. May they all be back to normal schedules sooner then later.

Thank You,

Matt

Black,White and the warehouse, Oh my!

I am soooo behind on updates. I have always seen and loved loft photography out of the New York, L.A and other cities and have always wanted to shoot in something similar. So I finally rented the upstairs of graffiti ware house to have some fun with massive windows for nature light with a touch of off camera flash. Bri and Gailynn were super supportive and absolutely amazing to work with per usual. A touch of black and white makes it even more fun!

Enjoy,

Matt

Oh yeah, and one in color for the baby blues!

 

A Beach, A Beauty and A Beast

You figure out which label applies to whom. I had a great time with friends in Southern California in December. Brought out my second camera, a Canon 5d mark iv with a small speed lite during the sunset to play while on the beaches and caught some amazing stuff. It helps that your friends are not ugly and hams in front of the lens. Sunrises are for the east coast and sun sets are for the west. We hit it right on the second day in Coronado Bay, San Diego. I would live on this beach every night just to watch the sun go down if I was in Cali. Some of the greatest sunsets I have seen over the ocean.

Thank you Kayla and Logan for chilling at the beach.

End of 2018: Barns, Babies and a Bar Mitzvah

I finished out the end of 2018 with some great families trusting me to take pictures of  everything from Seniors, new family members and a beautiful coming of age celebration. Thank you everyone for you support and allowing me to be part of your families life journey.

WSC Series Part 3: For every problem, there is a solution, and it is not Windex, it is weights!

“Beau, I can’t lift a bag of mulch, what should I do?” “Lift some weights.”

“Beau, I just had shoulder re-attachment surgery, what should I do?” “Lift some weights.”

“Beau, my back always hurts, what should I do?” “Lift some weights.”

“Beau, my car broke down, what should I do?” “Lift some weights.”

“Beau, I just lost my job, what should I do?” “Lift some weights.”

“Beau, I have post nasal drip and feel like garbage, what should I do?” “Lift some weights.”

“Beau, blinds or curtains, what should I do?” “Lift some weights.”

Yes, I do imagine that one day Beau’s daughter will come to him and say: “Dad, I do not know what kind of  flowers to get for my wedding.” In my mind, Beau says: “Honey, let’s go out to the garage and get some heavy sets in and we will figure it out.”

On top of the fun, the smiles, and the great coaching, people lift and lift and lift lots of weights. From the elderly, to those rehabbing, to collegiate athletes, to people just trying to fight the grind of time and nature– everyone is at WSC to lift weights a LOT. It is a simple regiment: lift weights, and occasionally push the prowler, get on an assault bike or row if you’d like. But always– and I mean always–  get under the bar and lift.
