We're moving! Not far though... actually only a couple blocks from our current studio location in Newport Beach. Our new home/studio will be in the beautiful "One Ford Road" community just north of Fashion Island. See the aerial shot below that I took from my helicopter (aka mapquest) with a red line showing the quickest path to my surf spot.
I love this new home! Click here to see a sample virtual tour (not our actual place) of the cool layout of this 3 bed 3.5 bath floor plan. It's got 3 large bedrooms upstairs plus a huge loft area for my office/digital darkroom. The master bathroom upstairs is just ridiculous with a jacuzzi bathtub and a walk-in closet that is about the size of a small bedroom! Downstairs has a two living areas that wrap around an open air courtyard. I'll use one for family and one will be a nice meeting space for my clients. It's got a wood-burning fireplace (just in time to hang stockings), a chef's kitchen and brand new wood floors (the deal closer for me). It also has a 3-car garage which is quite rare in Newport Beach! This home made sense for us with the new addition on the way because it will allow me to work from home and help Julie out with the little guys. Being out of town so much these days, when I'm home I want to be HOME, not at the office. This will maximize the time I get to spend with my family which is very exciting for me! We'll be in the new place in just a couple weeks so I'll post some pics of it when we're done. Have a great weekend and happy shooting!
