JASMINE + JUSTIN// SNEAK PEEK

Well the wedding season has started off with a wicked awesome couple! They looked amazing and their day went flawless. You couldn't have asked for better weather and a bride and groom. More to come of course but here is just a quick pic from the evening.  www.craigobrist.com

CHERYL + WES// ENGAGEMENT PREVIEW

Engagement shoots can be some of the most fun times for me to shoot. If you know Cheryl and Wes just ask them how fun ours was. They looked awesome and they know it. Check back this week for pics from that day and a special story that will make you cry (probably with laughter)

A FEW NEW VID'S//

Its been a long last few months. My wife and I had a new baby, work is out of control awesome and wedding season is just around the corner. I had a chance today to post a few videos that my team and I had a chance to do recently. The first is a bumper video for a new series called "FAQ'S"

This is a stop motion video that we shot in one day. I love stop motion but hate the actual prep that is involved. TE-DE-OUS! Super fun though.

The next one is a promo video for a mens event. I have always had so much fun playing laser quest since I was in high school. So we called up and they let us use their building for an afternoon.

The next three are promo video's for our small groups (V-groups).

We spoofed the Geico commercials that have been showing recently.

First is Montell Jordan and Jerry Quiroz. LOL

Next is Todd McVicker playing Humpty Dumpty.

Lastly is the Bowie residence.

Don't worry Stephen Hataway I didn't forget about you playing the Geico guy.

I think that about wraps it up for now. Thanks to everyone for your help behind the scenes.

Wedding photo's and engagement session's galore are coming soon.

MY NEW BABY GIRL// ELLI

A bundle of joy?  That's definitely an understatement.  There's no word or phrase to describe the love you feel for the gift of life that's given to you... It's been quite a journey in receiving this precious gift.  Our 2nd daughter, Elli Rose Obrist was born on January 23, 2011 at 11:23am weighing 7lbs.  My wife was on bedrest with her since October, so we have been waiting patiently to see her beautiful face for quite some time.  The challenges of bedrest were definitely all worth it when she came.  I have been wanting to do her infant photo shoot, so here are some to share with you all!

Baby Yeselyn in the belly// Saldana Family

Just having another baby, I know how precious children are and even more how precious it is to get some pics of yourself pregnant (I know that my wife wants pics of her belly too). The Saldana's have always been an awesome client but even better friends. They are now proud parents of a baby girl! Having two girls of my own, now I can say that Victor is going to have so much fun playing princess and tea party with his beautiful baby. Linda is a super trooper all around. Having 3 kids is definitely no small task. Actually, the hardest thing to do in life I think. Thanks so much guys for the awesome time and coming to see us in the hospital while you were having your own labor as well.
