… Canyon View Estates, scouting for two Portrait Project shoots next week.

What an amazing place this is. So glad we had a chance to live here and experience it.

We don’t have a particular time of year we like to shoot in. It’s all good. 

It just takes skill and a bit of savvy to shoot in any light. Or no light at all. 

The object is to get the great shot.

And we thrill to the chase.

Terrell Sandefur shot for Palm Springs Life Vision 2021-2022 Issue.

Backstory: We got a call from filmmakers/mover-shakers Ebersole-Hughes. They had just met someone that they felt we should meet also and small world wonders smiled on us all. 

Cutting to the chase, we actually met Terrell in 2012 in the South while doing the film festival circuit when our doc film GROW! screened at the Macon Film Festival in Georgia; Terrell was the organizer of the festival. (GROW! picked up a Best Documentary win.)

As it turned out he recently bought a home in our neighborhood in PS around the corner.

When Palm Springs Life Magazine contacted us to shoot the Vision issue about people working from their light filled home offices, we suggested Terrell.

It’s a small world with big interconnectivity.

You could be anywhere. 

It only depends on how you frame it up.

Seen at Melissa Morgan Fine Art at yesterday’s opening:

Not CSN&Y but just as harmonious and fun to hang with.

We like art. We like being out. And we love people.

Thank you for saying yes to being photographed.

Digging the light- the shadows- the afternoon…

You be too.
