These crazy kids followed us out to the boondocks for an adventure! We photographed in the pecan fields before they got their leaves.
Zero greens = lots of sunlight + shadows… We are HAPPY!

This week Alison of Modern Phoenix: The Neighborhood Network released ‘Summer of Sandblasting 2010‘. An article featuring three Arizona homes where dare I say the owners were gutsy enough to get their exterior block blasted! No Literally. And Eric & I were one of the nutso’s along with Brandon Gore of ‘Gore Design Studio‘ and John Covington of ‘JC Studios‘. Crazy… I know. But in a good way. Hey did any one besides me notice that we all have ’studio’ in our company name?. Hmmmmmmm… now it’s just one more thing we have in common besides the mighty home remodels. Ok so if you haven’t heard about our project or seen it YET I think you’ve been living under a rock or our old scummy paint?. Ha. But if you are one of those peeps who lurves seeing home remodel projects and especially the bad ass ‘before vs. after’ shots then you MUST read this article. There is even a video that John shot that clearly captures the noise nuisance of the whole experience. Every time I watch it chills go down my body as I remember our same exact ordeal. Let’s just say that I have never ever seen Eric that nervous and apprehensive. He just kept saying ‘I want them to be done already!‘. He said it every second. It got old. Yeah we totally thought our neighbors were gonna be peeved about the ‘hissing-like’ noise and not to forget the blowing dust. Our neighbors have a pool… yikes. But seriously in the end we couldn’t be HAPPIER! It surely is a story to tell from years to come. Click on the image to check out the whole article!
Thanks Alison for showing all the MoPho’s that it’s truly worth it in the end!!!

In April we had the AH-MAZING opportunity to collaborate with DWR (design within reach) in the 6th Annual Modern Phoenix Expo!!! Thanks to Alison King, founder of MoPho, we were introduced to the witty Gabe from DWR. We paired an eclectic mix of mid-century modern furniture from their Scottsdale location along with our 21st century modern HIP photography. IT WAS PERFECT!!! Here are some details we grabbed of the killer booth living room space. The idea behind the collaboration was to create a look that reflected a cozy living space along with some personal artwork. As if it was an actual living room. Cause you know purple nickel ain’t gonna do a boring ’stand behind your table and hand out brochures’ booth concept. It was really different for the attendees because they could actually walk into our space, sit on the furniture and roam through the pages of our books. Check em’ out…
Funny enough while we were editing through the images we found this shot where we randomly captured our recent client’s ‘David + Elfi‘ who booked us after seeing the space. WOOHOO!!! And Gabe also happend to be in the shot. He’s the one in the light blue button down shirt with a clip board! Ha. Yeah we put him to work collecting info/volunteers to receive a complimentary MOD headshot by yours truly. Actually we didn’t put Gabe to work…he totally offered which was way cool. Thanks dude! We’re gonna post the MOD headshots in a later post so stay tuned.
If you didn’t notice by now the last image are our brand spankin’ new biz cards that we had designed by a good friend of ours Leticia. She helped our vision come to life and you have to see them in person to experience the texture, size and embossing. WE LOVE THEM!!!
We’ll also be posting our 2 sample book designs in a slideshow…coming soon!
Below is our ‘take away’ we created for the MoPho attendees. Specs: 6×9 on glossy finish

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of photographing the Gonzalez crew for their family portraits. This is their 3rd session with Purple Nickel Studio!!! AWESOME! We photographed Rhonda + Jerry’s engagment session in 08′, then their wedding in 09′ and now their family in 10′. We LOVE our job!!! But these guys always make it easy for us and it totally shows in their session. When our clients give us creative freedom it’s endless on what we’ll come up with. And we have to say this is one of our favorite family sessions this year so far…
Check em’ out they’re too COOL!!!
Thanks Gonzalez family…we always have a blast hanging out with you guys and are soooo lucky to have you as friends!
