Well... Hi!
It's been a long time since my last message but so much was going on (and a few great events coming up!) that I had to send out an update to everyone!
First, on the photography side... Weddings are taking off AND I'm still shooting festivals like a madman! Yup, still same ol' CuriousJosh. As I write this I'm sitting in Riverside's Doubletree hotel getting ready to shoot insomniac's Beyond Wonderland tonight!
For weddings I definitely wanted to let my friends and community know to reach out to me as early as you can if you'd like me to shoot at your wedding! I put out a new portfolio which is getting a yuuuge response, and some of my dates are getting booked out over a year in advance! (I already have 2 weddings booked in 2018!). I still have some dates available throughout 2017, but dates have been getting booked all over.
If you're curious ;) about the new portfolio, you can see it here!
Josh's 2017 Wedding Portfolio
And if you're not curious enough yet, here's one shot I love to get you curious enough to click the link above. This is one of my favorites. A shot from Leah & Dima's wedding (if you know them, they're from camp "Booty Hunters!" Leah's a firespinner, and Dima's a DJ, and they're two of the sweetest people you'll meet. I absolutely loved this moment where Leah was having fun with her bridesmaids.

Also I've been surprised and excited that some celebrities have started finding me! Not even through referrals, just because they've seen my work online and really enjoy it. I recently shot the wedding of a Victoria Secret Model (I'll see if I can tell you who!), AND have you ever seen "The Sound of Music?" I just shot the wedding of the littlest "Von Trapp" girl, Kym Karath! (picture below)

And out of respect for the Victoria's Secret model, I'm going to ask her if I can share who it is in a future email! In the meantime, I'd love to highlight some things a few of my friends are doing!
We Are All Onesie Kickstarter!
If you guys know camp Affinity, them you have probably seen Helen Olds' new clothing from "We Are All Onseie!"
One of the reasons I have to include this (and I don't say this lightly...),
Helen's Onesies make bottoms look better than anything. She's like a butt whisperer. If you're a woman, and you have a bottom, check out her kickstarter. I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed!
