reStore, Revive and rePlenish @ the Bellagio Spa

We always promised the Crew One day. Someday. we'll all go to the spa, ALL together :)  Well, that day finally came.  

We've been honored to shoot for the Bellagio Hotel for the past few years.  This month, they asked us to update their Spa & Salon photography without any New renovations.  This space was gorgeous as is - it just needed a little updated photo-LoVe.  

modern Angle.  Timeless styling.  luxurious lighting. done.

the Ritz Carlton Lake Tahoe

Knows how to treat it's guests, and even those photographer types.  Kinda Ashamed to even say this... bUT...The photos really don't do this property justice, ha ha.  It is spectacular.

Our crew had the sweet dreamy pleasure of spending 10 days experiencing hospitality at it's Best.....The Ritz Carlton way.
[of course, That being Champagne & strawberries everyday at 3pm - extra images...You got it :)]

We're so thrilled with the images! This was our first photo-shoot on the preferred Ritz Carlton Photographers list & we look forward to completing the winter portfolio [snow boarding] this year!

Clint decides that Annie needs help to see through the camera... his brilliant idea, taping blocks to her Feet.  His best Mr. fix it yet :)

Room with a View [....the Joys of electricity & Ocean]

After Nagging us to death, and the torturing of many a poor Client.  Rouse's dreams have finally come True [not the creepy hershey's chocolate bath one, the other one.] A Room with a View. 

It's not easy to convince a client to take a newly renovated room down to the Beach [...... only 5ft from the crashing waves of high tide].    Luckily, we Met the perfect client - the Surf & Sand in Laguna Beach.  This hotel is SOo close to the ocean that the waves actually HIT the hotel bar AND the rooms have complimentary earplugs.  [so while some people buy Soothing Ocean sounds on CD......... Other's Earplug.]  

We could not have done this without the unbelievable staff of S&S.  Taking 12 hotel staff members, a thrill-seeking PR director, the Sweetest Marketing manager and 3 Rouse's 6 hours to put together.

(-: many High Fives to Melinda Speck, Lana Ybarra and The Surf & Sand Hotel [right on the bleepin' Beach] Here's a Video.

Nauseous about "What They Ate"

Robert Earl Wells IV will EAT anything.  Well, we already knew that [ask us about his Solo trip to Carls Jr. Circa 2006 = receipt totaling over $45].  Sooo, when we heard He was eating WeiRd things for a History Channel Pilot  - It seemed very fitting.  

"What They Ate" is a new "reality" type show airing on the History Channel this fall.  Rob will be eating the true mongolian warrior way thousands of years ago. What way is that? - by killing his own Food [sheeps head Eyeballs, raw Yak meat, & Blood Sausage] and serving it to his poor innocent family [in the backyard of their la Jolla Home].

Should be....interesting, and we Can't wait!

Some of the shots from a "day in the life of Robert Earl Wells IV" for the show's Promos & Intro.

CHECK out Rob's Agency 1650 Advertising & Design for some of the most Talented Concepting & Design you've Ev'er seen & possibly the most entertaining afternoon of your life :)   

[Some Shots from Filming] 

.....and Sweet lil Baby Girl

At only 5 days old, we photographed our sweet friends new {& the last of 4} Baby Girl.  Meet Ms. Siera Jade Brown.

We've been in some stressful situations - BUT a tiny 5 day old is lil scary [& fragile!]   Especially with a 25lb Hasselblad [& a tri-pod] directly above sleeping Siera.

You haven't seen a Rouse's heart race so Fast [since his first Sky Dive!].

Ménage à trois

Jonathan made me move my stuff out of the guest room closet....... 

It has been a long time in the making, but Jonathan and I are excited to welcome Kristie Christensen to our team. We have known her for almost 9 years and we have liked her for at least 5 of those years.

All kidding aside (not really), we are excited to have Kristie on board as our Director of Client services. Click here to see her sweet bio and look for some blog posts from her that will no doubt be dry and confusing (much like her personality). You will have to trust us when we say she is hard at work.
