Worship Artist Website Design | Taylor Begert Music www.taylorbegert.com

4/29/2016

 
Picture
Taylor Begert is a crazy talented, man of faith who believes in crafting a spirit-filled worship experience for congregations of believers. He's never had a website before now, but he does have an incredible wife, who decided to gift him a website for Christmas. 

Entirely behind Taylor's back, Lauren & I collaborated to write copy, compile photos, connect social media feeds, and create a home on the web for Taylor Begert, the singer-songwriter and worship artist-for-hire. His site features stunning photography of him in action as well as a page where site visitors can listen to his work directly in-site. 
The site also features live feeds from each of Taylor's social media accounts, and a media page packed with easy downloadables. 

Lauren then went on to print business cards with the new website url, and wrap them up as a stocking stuffer for Taylor to open on Christmas Eve. I'd say Lauren gets the wife of the year award. 


Like all websites I build, this site is responsive (meaning it resizes and reformats when the browser window is resized for a narrow screen).

Malibu Beach Wedding Photography | Lauren & Bjorn's Wedding at Gladstones

4/25/2016

 
Any couple from Minnesota who plans a wedding on the beach in Southern California is risking a lot. What will the weather be like? Will our friends and family really all buy plane tickets to fly across the country for this? How will we plan the logistics? Where can we find an officiant? A florist? A photographer? But Lauren and Bjorn didn't let the fear of the unknown stop them. They decided to go for it. This incredible couple wanted to say their vows and celebrate their commitment to one another in a location where they had vacationed and made lots of memories—Malibu, California.

And you know what happened?

​It was perfect. 

The weather was beautiful. The friends and family DID fly across the country to celebrate. They figured out all the details (and Gladstones helped!) And I'm beyond grateful for the wise and all-knowing Google for leading Lauren to find me online. 
Lauren and Bjorn's wedding was special due in large part to their ability to let go of the details and just immerse themselves in the moments of the day. As the photographer, I was able to witness countless moments of friendship, affection & genuine love between Lauren, Bjorn, their boys & their families. 

And after spending an evening partying with a bunch of MinnesOOOOtans, I'm convinced that whole state is full of genuine smiles and warm hearts. 

Thanks Lauren & Bjorn for including me in your sun-kissed celebration! 

Venue & Food: Gladstones Restaurant, Malibu 
Officiant: Greg Daum 
Special Music: Taylor Begert
Photography: Cecily Breeding (that's me!) 
Flowers: Sea Lily Malibu

Agoura Hills Website Design | New Moon Wellness

4/23/2016

 
New Moon Wellness is a conscious community center located in Agoura Hills, CA. The vision behind the center can all be attributed to founder & owner Andrea Gootnick, who is passionate about creating a space that makes every visitor feel like family. With comfy couches, delicious coffee, local eats, treats & gifts, and a packed calendar full of hikes, education & celebratory evenings, New Moon Wellness offers something for everyone. 
New Moon Wellness already had a website (see the bottom of this post) but the business is growing in scope and impact, so the website needed to reflect that. The new site paints a vibrant picture of the many things New Moon offers, from teen mixers to kombucha on tap. With a mixture of my photography and New Moon's existing brand identity, the site is easy to navigate and explore.

Erica & Nick | Padua Hills Theatre, Claremont, CA Wedding Photography

4/10/2016

 
Where do I even start? Like the two of them, Erica & Nick's gorgeous Claremont, CA, wedding on Friday, April Fools' Day, was anything but ordinary. Erica & Nick met in acting class and have been together more than 10 years. Their deep connection with one another is palpable whenever they are in the same room.

They wanted their wedding to be an expression of who they are as a couple: unconventional, authentic, and FUN. As a actor, model & hard core yoga instructor (former lululemon athletica ambassador too!), Erica loves to break the rules. Wedding gown? Nah.... Short white dress with pockets. Veil?... Why? Flowers? Nah... DIY wire "bouquet" creations & pins instead of boutonnieres. Party favors? .... clown noses!! You get the picture.

Most couples follow tradition and spend the wedding day hiding from one another until their first look. Not Erica and Nick! They arrived to the venue together and spent the hours before the ceremony talking and sharing laughs before the guests arrived.

Thank you, Erica & Nick, for inviting me to document these images, and be part of your incredible wedding day!

Julie | Malibu Senior Portrait Photography at the Adamson House

4/6/2016

 
Julie is a lacrosse-playing, no-shoes-wearing, bundle of hopes and dreams for the future. That's why I LOVE senior portraits, because it gives me the chance to get excited with you about college, the end of high school, the next steps. It also reminds me that life unfolds in stages; and the only rule in that is you can't ever go back. So the moral of the story? Don't rush it. Enjoy this stage. Enjoy now.

We shot Julie's senior portraits at the historic Adamson House, right on the beach in Malibu, CA. We've been getting rain recently, so the grass was crazy green and the sky perfectly clean and clear. We picked golden hour on a Monday and had the whole grounds to ourselves. The house has lots of nooks and crannies on the outside, that offer visual interest. In Julie's photos, you'll see some of the distinct Malibu tile that decorates the patios and fountains. Julie's older brother and younger sister jumped into a few of the shots and we even convinced Mom to take a few!

Congratulations Julie on being a senior and I hope you go to Pepperdine!!
