Amelia + Justin Lyon {Featured Artist}

{Amelia + Justin Lyon} are some of the sweetest hip-est wedding and portrait photographers in all of Southern California. Wikipedia it; It’s a fact! Or… just take my word for it. ;)

Amelia has donated some beautiful images compiled of branches, leaves and sunlight. Images with so much serotonin they can put anyone in a good mood. Imagine waking every morning to a 20x30 bright and sunny canvas hanging on your wall of one of her tree-scapes… (close your eyes, imagine it) and then buy one! I’m positive the purchase will be life changing.

Justin has offered up some of his most excellent shots taken while traveling the country on his legendary Mammoth Men man-cations. These images capture the gritty backroads and allyways of America’s urban terrain through the adventurous spirit of Justin’s lens. His images should inspire you to get outside, pick up a camera, ride a bike or hop on a bus and explore your world. {Justin's images coming soon}

Sarah Rhoads {Featured Artist}

{Sarah Rhoads} is a Seattle based wedding and lifestyle photographer that captures emotion and beauty in such a way that just makes the viewer immediately feel love and joy. Her husband Chris shoots with her when he isn’t recording music as a session bass player. They are perhaps one of the raddest artistic couples in all of the great northwest! If I didn’t think they were perfect for Seattle I would selfishly want them to live in California; closer to me. ;)

I am especially fond of this image because those are the words of a Ray Lamontagne song that my wife walked down the aisle too. We have this print proudly displayed in our home! I gave it to my wife on our 2 year anniversary and she cried… well, almost.

Joel Flory {Featured Artist}

I have never met {Joel Flory} in person, but I know that if I did, we would be fast friends. He went to college in my home town and I’ve heard nothing but sweet goodness about him. Must be why he was so eager to donate images to support Jackson. These gorgeous images are from his trip to Patagonia, which until now, I thought was a clothing company. Who knew?!

Cameron Ingalls {Collaborator + Featured Artist}

{Cameron Ingalls} I love people! It’s because of my love for people that I became a wedding photographer in the first place. I photographed Jackson’s parents wedding a few years ago. It has been moving to watch as this family has struggled to care and nurture this beautiful little guy to health and stability. It hasn’t been an easy road and definitely not one that a young married couple anticipates when they become pregnant. However, It has been a beautiful tradgedy; one that has grown the faith and love of Daniel, Halle and many of their family and friends.

In an effort to give more than just a few bucks, I have come up with this photography project -Jackson’s Smile. I decided that to GIVE BIG, I would ask my friends for help. Periodically we will feature beautiful photographs donated by some incredible photographers to raise money to offset the mountain of medical bills that result from giving Jackson the chance to have a healthy life; to have the chance to smile. We are so blessed to have so many people that want to be involved! My wonderful web designers {805 Collective}, my fantastic print lab, {ProDPI}, and my friends over at {NextProof} have generously donated their time, software, and equipment to make all of this possible. Now its up to you. Please browse through the photographer’s galleries over the coming year and purchase a print or two!
