Before meeting up with Sydney, I met up with her boyfriend Jason. And at the time I was not aware that he was dating the most beautiful girl in California. I found that out when I arrived at his apartment and she was sitting there on his couch... a beam of sunlight shining down from some unknown skylight, and her dog in her lap...with The Cowsills' "I love the Flower Girl" playing overhead.

These were from a colaboration I did with local illustrator Jess Smart Smiley for 21st & Ivy back in 2010. I've been a big fan of Jess' work so I was excited to find an excuse to work with him.
I look forward to working with him again, this year, on another project.
My buddy Devereaux and his sister served as models.

It was fun to see Michael and Emi again, since taking their engagement pictures back in 2008. We had a good time catching up and freezing our faces off.
When Emi first contacted me about setting up a session, she let me know that she was pregnant and that she had no desire to do "cheesy maternity pictures," but instead wanted pictures - my style - in which she just Matt Claytonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06425199343662538939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358917520859475297.post-24665746037494223492011-12-19T01:00:00.000-07:002011-12-19T08:46:34.264-07:00The Hortin Family

I met up with model (and Survivor) Sydney Wheeler and her boyfriend (now husband), Jason, last November to shoot new images for her portfolio, as well as mine. Here are a few that we shot at the beach, as well as the pier, on Balboa Island.

When I first contacted my friend Emily - who would be styling this shoot - about the concept, I wrote - "A girl nicely dressed on the playing field with a team of rugby players. Juxtapose a beautiful girl [with] a rowdy muddy group of guys."
We may not have achieved the muddy part but I think we got the rest of the concept right.

I've been wanting to do a shoot like this for a long time, so, this weekend, I did. Thanks to Hillary and Kyler for helping out.
All clothing is currently available at Gap.

Every time I attempt to shoot "fashion" I tend to go in tight with my shots and focus on the personality of the subject rather than the clothing. Many of my personal projects are attempts at fixing this habit. I continually have to remind myself to take a step back.
Congrats to York and his wife. They just became the proud parents of a baby girl, today!

In case you haven't already started working on (or thinking about) a Halloween costume, I thought I would share this shoot I did for 21st & Ivy a couple years ago.
The idea behind this shoot was to provide costume ideas that didn't cost a lot of money and could easily be assembled from goods found in your own closet.
This was another opportunity to work alongside my good friend Emily - Matt Claytonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06425199343662538939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358917520859475297.post-27899602213217284432011-09-28T16:00:00.013-06:002011-09-28T16:07:26.793-06:00Just One of the Boys - Shoot Revisited

With every couple that hires me, before their session I make sure to
ask how they met, what they like to do together, what kind of look
they're hoping for, as well as inquire about their own personal style.
This is to give me an idea of what they're like as a couple as well as an idea of
what they're expecting from their session.
Ben and Lauren made sure I knew that they loved camping Matt Claytonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06425199343662538939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358917520859475297.post-53637431963850858372011-09-07T13:29:00.002-06:002011-09-07T13:35:00.008-06:00On the corner of 35th & Broadway

After watching A River Runs Through It and influenced by an article I read in Outside Magazine, last year I purchased and read the book The River Why by David James Duncan - which tells the story of a young man who leaves home to pursue his passion for fly fishing. Sounds riveting, right? For never having any interest in fly fishing, or fishing in general, it was an ambitious read and I'm Matt Claytonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06425199343662538939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358917520859475297.post-86049438059550381332011-08-13T00:00:00.002-06:002011-08-13T01:36:26.809-06:00San Clemente Sunday - Part 1 :: Color Met up with Morgan and friends in San Clemente, last April, and played around in the city as well as the beach (coming soon).

Five years ago I helped with a Mother's Day surprise for some neighbors of mine. I photographed their kids and turned the images into a small book that the kids then added their own messages to. This year, I was hired to do it again but this time it wasn't a surprise since mom told her family it was the only thing she wanted this Mother's Day.

And, when Rad warned me he was a lousy subject in front of the camera, I discovered that wasn't true.
And, being that it was Father's Day yesterday, I feel I need to share this video of Rad and his father.

While down in California last fall, I had a sitting cancel on me at the last minute. Not wanting to waste the afternoon I was able to get hooked up with two sets of siblings that were willing to model-it-up in front of the camera. Their mothers were champs for helping out. And the "models" were good sports, risking being seen by fellow classmates on their own turf.
