This weekend, my friends and I took a trip to New Orleans, LA for our friend Ethan’s birthday. We spent the weekend together in a cute Mid-City AirBnB off of Canal St, and somehow it was big enough to fit our entire group of ten.

A few years ago, I met Clint Rater from Jody Seabody and the Whirls. Since then I’ve had the pleasure of working with him and the band on a few different interviews and photoshoots.

This time around, the band asked me to take a few promotional photos for them, as they’re getting ready to tour in support of their new record, Hawksamillion, on Artificial Head Records.

This weekend I got to watch my friends. in Warlung play at Brash Brewery. You may remember some of these faces from a past post where I shared their work as RIVERS. In the past couple of years, however, they’ve joined forces with George Baba (formerly of The Dead Revolt) and have created a new band under the name of Warlung.

Back in July of 2014, Pastor Oropeza reached out to me via email. He was a drummer for a band called The Caldwell, and at the time I’d never seen them live.

I was so honored to have someone reach out to me, and so I made sure to clear my schedule so that I could head to their show and shoot a few live photos for them. They were an amazing act, and I really enjoyed their sound.

I know it's been a while since I've updated, but that's not for lack of material. Sadly, I've just been so busy with life that posting my work has kind of fallen by the wayside. But to anyone who truly cares, I promise I'm trying to get better. 

But the real reason I'm here today is to share a few (read: TONS) of photos I took exactly one year ago. 

As you may remember, I had the pleasure of shooting a sweet maternity session for my friends, Stephanie and Casey back in August of 2015. Well, on September 5, 2015, I had the privilege of joining the McClure family at the hospital during their labor.
