I’m Josh. In addition to loving photographing people who love taking long walks on the beach as they take long walks on the beach, I generally walk around seeing everything as a potential photograph. This, and the constant stream of 90s west coast rap playing in my mind at any given moment, sometimes makes it difficult to concentrate. So, I’m not really being quiet, I’m just composing photographs while Regulators plays softly in the background. I assure you, for your shoot, I will turn down the volume on the music and give you 100% concentration. Despite my love of 90s rap, the only song I dance to is the theme to Cops, and when I do this it always rains or snows. Given the danger of inclement weather caused by my dancing, it’s probably in everyone’s best interest that “Bad Boys” by Inner Circle doesn’t tend to get much air time. I can educate anyone on 80s cartoons and action figures, the cinematic works of Steven Seagal, and why Miami Vice was the greatest television show of all time. I’m from San Diego. It’s a little town that borders Mexico. I think that covers everything, but if you can think of something else, just ask.
I’ll be honest: I check my Facebook at least twice a day.

Outdoor winery wedding with Style Me Pretty worthy details.
I’m Melissa. I’m pretty much a sixteen year old girl stuck in an “older” body. My life theme song is “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire. They actually wrote it for me, you can ask. I love to laugh and be silly. My favorite foods are mac & cheese and fish & chips. On my Tivo, you’ll find the latest episodes of Lost, Gossip Girl, Dancing with the Stars, and Intervention. If you need help with Twilight or celebrity gossip, I’ll be there for you. I’m happiest doing flips in a swimming pool. I’m from Rhode Island, the smallest state with the longest name. It’s true… you can Google it. I think that covers everything, but if you can think of something else, just ask.
I stopped playing Farmville, I swear.

Biggest Pet Peeve:
People who type like morons on the internet.
Got Into Photography Because:
Wushu only pays well if you’re 18, living in China, and can pull 900-degree rotations mid-air.
Sappy/Cliché Photography Statement:
The best part of my day is when I get to show you the most beautiful and honest part of yourself that you’ve never seen before.
Ultimate Shoot:
Post-apocalyptic wedding.
I’m Sarah. I’m a geek-ish dork with nerd tendencies, and I wear it with pride. The two most life-changing experiences in my life, thus far, have been going to China, and attending Penny Arcade Expo. I’ll eat pretty much anything you put in front of me, at least once. I will never take myself too seriously, and my favorite people can watch Megashark vs. Giant Octopus and find the humor in it. Folks sometimes assume I’m scary because I do wushu and roller derby, but I’m relaxed-and-groovy and like just about everyone. I like to make up words, with varying degrees of success. If there’s anything else you’re dying to know about, just ask.
