It’s official, my longtime partner in crime Adam Bove and I have officially joined forces, not just as husband and wife, but as directors of A Collective Us. For years we have been working together in an unofficial capacity with our longtime editor Brandon Schrichten as we’ve been able to offer clients more seamless campaigns with video and photography we’ve felt this need to advertise ourselves as such. To see what we are up to together check out https://acollective.us/ or follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/acollectiveus/

“Breathe is a short film created from a very personal response to the mixed messages women are confronted with in the media today. The film idea emerged from a conversation between two women about all of the things we do, almost subconsciously from a place of engrained fear or doubt. In spite of that instinctual behavior, we don’t live in a place of fear; we choose to be empowered and strive to quiet the negative voices from the world outside and those that rise from within.

”

The future is bright.

“When Pure Barre approached me to shoot a campaign for their On Demand services to show real women, their actual students using Pure Barre On Demand in real life settings - at home and on the go- I was thrilled. It’s rare to find a brand that wants to celebrate their customers in that way, plus I would be able to shoot outside of the confines of the studio! These women were incredible to work with! ”

Taste Makers

Campaign for Downtown Boulder

Samantha CAmpanile

A professional dancer with the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet for the past 15 years, Samantha has recently retired. She agreed to this portrait session for my ongoing series, Pretty Strong. Pretty Strong is a series of portraits of female athletes who show that strength is beauty. Being a ballet dancer myself I was especially excited for this shoot. I feel there is an understated strength to ballet as it requires artistry that sometimes overshadows the athleticism. Samantha is beautiful inside and out. Her beauty shines best though when she is dancing, there is a grace, joy and vulnerability to her movements. Check back for more portraits from this series.

Partnering with Adam Bove, I have formed A Collective Us. For the past two years we have been working together on various projects in a true partnership capacity.

Here is the latest work we have done together for Union Studio Metals a high- end, handmade artisan jeweler. You can find their pieces online and even in the Smithsonian!

ARIAT Women's English and Western Apparel 2016

Working with Ariat and Indigo Sky Creative, I shot this series of product focused images for both Ariat's Women's Western and English Apparel and Boot lines. The locations in Calistoga, CA and Los Olivos, CA provided added authenticity and texture to this beautiful shoot.

Ariat Launches Fuse

Ariat is most known for its Western and English riding boots and apparel. This year it made a natural progression into the athleisure space with the Fuse athletic shoe.

Shot on location at the National High School Rodeo Finals, using real athletes as models, this shoot was a blast!

Pendleton Woolen Mills

This year I was tasked with several projects from Pendleton Woolen Mills ranging from social media shoots, to their Men's lookbook. Here is a look at some of those projects.
