This post has been a long time coming! Last January my good friend Ryan Daniel Dobson hired us to photograph his family (check out their family session here) as well as himself for an online portfolio that he's been working pretty hard on. Cara and I quickly jumped on the idea and headed out to Los Angeles to work on these different projects. Basically what you see below is a variety of looks, concepts and locations for Ryan's site. I can't get over how much fun I had shooting in the mountains of Malibu and downtown Los Angeles during the day and late at night. 

Take a look at Ryan's site here. It's pretty awesome. You might have seen him on a recent episode of Castle as well as How I Met Your Mother! 

We enjoyed our time with the Dobsons! Ryan and I are working on our own side photo projects so it was awesome to bounce ideas off of each other and dream about some of our future endeavors. I look forward to those coming to fruition.

Enjoy!

People often ask me where I go kayaking in the Oklahoma City area. I will now be adding I-235 northbound to the list!

Great photos, as always. This is random, but I was looking out my office window on Monday, from the 17th floor of a building downtown, and I saw a green kayak on the top of a Honda CRV making its way north, and I wondered... "Where are they headed?" I guess I know now.
