Sugar and Spice

This is Sugar and Spice, owed by Madeline and Kay Kay; They are a fashion blog duo! They get to work some really cool people/designers. (Fun story, I've been friends with these two since 2009, before they joined forces to make "Sugar and Spice" fashion blog, and before I wanted to become photographer so we go WAYY back:P)

Madeline lives in Utah, and Kay Kay lives here in LA. So for this shoot I hit up Kay Kay to do a creative look book shoot with her, and randomly enough Madeline was actually coming in town in later that week!  We all got together and drove until we found a bunch of trees! The location was WOW and getting to collab was super fun since they are also both photographers too, Its nice to bounce ideas off them. On top of it all, Its been a few months since I got to last see either of them last, so it was nice to make up for lost time haha! 

Check out some of the images I put together, and make sure to check out their Fashion Blog here. They post some really great content, and they also do contests for clothing pieces/ awesome knick-knacks

These girls are super down to earth creative people. You WONT be disappointed on what you see:) Follow them on instagram  @MADELINEBECKER @KAYKAYBLAISDELL = @SUGARANDSPICEOFFCIAL

Kyle Hill Sunderland

This is Kyle Hill, the drummer for the band Sunderland! I have been close friends with Sunderland for quite some time, they were actually my FIRST band shoot ever, and we have since been inseparable. They are from Hood River, Oregon--in my opinion Hood River is the greatest of cities/small towns in the whole country! It is home to some of the greats human beings as well. My wife and I look forward to visiting whenever we are given the opportunity. The fall of 2013, Sunderland relocated to Los Angeles to further pursue their music careers-- My wife and I decided to become roomies with the boys. They have been like family to us for long enough, and certain people you just click with-- Sunderland was that for us! 

Kyle is one of the most hysterical people I have ever met. He always has the house laughing with his stories, and punchlines. Besides his jokes-- he is decent at Call of Duty, great at cooking mongolian noodle dishes, he is single (ladies), -- and Kyle destroys the drums!! 

These photos were taken between the hills of Glendale and Pasadena in the really lovely canyon. We saw like 1000 deer, and found some eucalyptus trees that smelt good, and heard locals tell us about a black bear that visits every thursday to eat garbage! Pretty...weird! A day well spend at that! Enjoy until next time! Follow Kyle on twitter @kylehill
