Meet Ryan

Last week our friend Ryan asked me if I could do some headshots for him for his online presence. He’s helped me figure out a thing or two about improving my Google rankings, too, so of course the least I could do was give him some sweet photographs. But we don’t just hang out with him for his mad skillz… he’s also a pretty fun guy. He does a lot of rock climbing. And ps, his rock climbing site is ranked number 7 or something when you google “rock climbing.” He’s the only person I know on a raw food diet, and he forced me (very unwillingly) to go to Omar’s, a local raw foods restaurant. (He’s kind of obsessed with this place because the first time he went, Omar asked him to share his raw foods journey and called him a blessed child.) Well, it was nasty. Not gonna lie. Jamie and I ordered this raw “pizza” which was NOTHING like pizza. It was mostly just a pile of weird seeds and plants and chopped veggies and stuff. Jamie liked it, but I think I’ll stick to my Totino’s 99 cent frozen pizzas, thankyouverymuch. He also makes his famous “green drinks” with Lord knows what in them. And he orders things with weird names like cacao and goji off the internet in bulk. But other than THAT, I think he’s pretty cool. :) I mean, what other guy can we call up every time a new Nicholas Sparks movie comes out to go see it with us? Pretty much no one. And who else do I know that stays in and watches movies like Elizabethtown and Amelie while drinking red wine on a regular basis? Yep, no one. So sometimes we give him a hard time, but we love him. And here he is!

I love this one. Very hardcore looking, no?

I call this the Abercrombie shot.

Sometimes mistakes end up being some of your favorite images. This is one of those.

Sometimes I ask people to do kind of weird things for a shot. But I think this one was worth it. Right Ryan? :)

And I love this one too. Just very natural. Ryan was all, I don’t know HOW to model. I don’t know WHAT to do. I don’t think I LOOK right. Well, I say, psssssssh.
