A few weeks ago we took a fun little day trip out to the Gorge with a group of our talented friends for a good time in the desert mess with some of our newest film cameras & play. Feels like we have shot in the desert a lot this year, once for the cover shoot of Rue back in February, and then we had another project in the desert at some point... but honestly, does shooting fabulous people in a desert ever get old? I think not ;) 

I wanted to share some of these frames here since this is my little spot to post things that are going on in my creative journey. However, to see more about this shoot you can head over to our We Are the Rhoads blog. Also, our friend, Joel, put together a pretty fantastic behind the scenes video for this. He is insanely talented & so are the rest of the folks that joined us for the road trip down to the Gorge this day and helped make this come to life...

Megan B is such a freaking rock star. I would kill to work with her. Sarah and Chris, this shoot is freaking fantastic. Everything about it is great. I tweeted Chris this, but holy crap, you are brave holding that PhaseOne without a neck strap!! Is that y'alls or did you rent it for the shoot? Anyways, fantastic job as always. I feel bad always lurking and never commenting! I tell people this all the time, but you two are my biggest inspirations (aside from Steve Jobs), and that's saying a lot! Keep up the amazing work. I think I'm going to work on a personal project for myself. Time for a pick-me-up! Cheers!

I worked at Cave B for a few summers, and spent time after/before my shifts hiking these paths. I'm going to let everyone in on a secret: Though Cave B is beautiful, the Rhoads managed to make it look even more amazing than it is (an impressive feat).

I saw this over on your commercial blog - i love the energy and life you have the ability to bring out in people, whether it's couples, families, models, whoever... you guys have such a gift. That second frame is an absolute stunner, and I love the shot on the ground with the guitar, but as a set, this shoot wins! Great job guys. Love following along with your creative evolution :) xo

Karen says: Monday, November 28, 2011, 11:40 AM

i love every little bit of this shoot- personal posts are my favorite- it's the best feeling to just go out with some friends and have fun/shoot/be creative! Great work as always, Sarah and Chris!
