Living in the Pacific Northwest, Mona Daly's influences are diverse, from textile and fashion design, to modern architecture.  She attended the Laguna Beach School of Art, Occidental College and the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.  Depending on the client, Mona’s illustrations range from the simple and graphic with bold colors, to other times it being all about the lines - curvy and feminine.  In each project she strives to create the highest quality image in a fresh new way that will please her and most importantly, her client.  

People love Steve Peixotto’s work. He has been fortunate to work with many great creatives over the years. The first question he is asked on that first call though, is not usually about his work, how he works with people (fabulously) or what he thinks of the project at hand, it is almost always “How do you pronounce your name?” Steve is fluent in Spanish. He recently moved back to the San Francisco Bay Area from Nayarit, Mexico. He has shot extensively (both in English and in Spanish) on large and small productions throughout USA, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Sometimes it makes sense to take a production to Mexico when clients are serving Latino markets, and the fact that Steve has resources in Mexico as well as a command of the language makes him the right man for the job. Having the ability to translate a client’s ideas into great photography no matter where he is doesn’t hurt either. Once they get past the roadblock of a name, clients love Steve’s attention to detail, and his ability to set up authentic situations to play out in front of his camera. When he’s not shooting Steve can be found trying to get used to the cold water of the Northern California Coast on a surfboard with his kids or skiing down the slopes of the Sierra Nevada where he coaches a ski team. When he was 15 he taught himself how to control his eyes independently of each other because he thought it was cool. … And, PEIXOTTO, well it sort of sounds like PEY-SHOW-TOE

Scott Harben is a visual story teller. He creates images, whether moving or still that evoke emotion, thought and most importantly, entertain. Scott constantly asks himself the question “how do I highlight your needs and your goals in such a short stroke?”  It goes like this,  Scott has had the great fortune of collaborating with talented individuals, has worked on amazing campaigns and has found himself involved with great ideas. What he loves about those he has worked with is their constant focus on pushing the work. It’s inspiring and keeps his mind fresh. Throughout the years Scott has discovered his role has changed from simply a vendor to a full on team member. Often he gets called in at the very onset of a campaign to help bring an idea to life. The relationships he has garnered this way go back over 20 years. Scott says “I love what I do and who I do it with.” This year found Scott connecting with individuals whose careers he helped get going and yet he is still inspired again to push himself further. Although it’s the work that always drives him, it's the people he's fortunate enough to work with that motivates his vision.
