52WoA - Week 48 - Sleep

Next Thursday, July 5th, Week 49: “Action Shots” will be due. The image must be created between today and July 5th. Good luck!

Here are our Week 48 – “Sleep” images!
with the hottest part of the year upon us, you'd think the AC would be on full blast. well, NOT in the Mussack household. the monkey and I are finding creative ways to stay cool, especially when we sleep.

i'm just mad I can't fit under the tub, too!



Bauer is a stud. He loves to sleep. And more interestingly, he loves to dangle his limbs while he sleeps without a care in the world.

thinking simply this week. clean. crisp. vibrant. simple.



My wife and I recently celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. She had sunflowers in her wedding bouquet and so I gave her a dozen sunflowers on our anniversary. The flowers have since dried out and I thought they would be a perfect subject for this week’s challenge!

Sarah & BJ | Attraction Session | Iowa | Chris & b

I apologize that this blog is being a bit neglected lately. Hopefully, Autumn, b and I can keep posting daily updates for all of our awesome La Brisa Loyalists out there! Today, I am ridiculously excited to feature one of my favorite couples ever, Sarah & BJ!

We started at the Cedar Valley Arboretum and Botanical Gardens in Waterloo and then explored Cedar Falls before finishing up with an awesome view of the sunset! Sarah and BJ are incredibly sweet together. And they are as polite and down-to-earth as they are gorgeous. They are quite the power couple. Seriously. Just look at them!

Thank you again for selecting La Brisa to photograph your amazing family. I hope that you LOVE your images and I cannot wait to see you in a few days! You can view more images from their session on the La Brisa Facebook page by clicking HERE.

The C Family | Joy Session | Kansas | Autumn

I am so excited to share the Chase family with the world! Christy and Robbie were my first-ever shoot involving actual people, so I owe an eternal debt of gratitude to my bestie, and her awesome family.

I have loved watching their family grow, and a few months ago they were blessed with baby Nora. I call dibs on pseudo-aunt, and on constant photographer as their lives change and grow.

This was Nora’s fashion debut- and I have to say, she is a natural. Without further ado, here is one of the most beautiful families you will ever meet.

note to self...do not sprawl out on the floor at the O'Hare International Airport in Chicago as to avoid strange looks. Scratch that, new note to self...do what is necessary for 52 Weeks of Awesomeness.



I have always wanted a motorcycle. Do I have a motorcycle license? Nope. Have I ever ridden a motorcycle? Nope. Do I still think that they are one of the coolest modes of transportation ever? Absolutely! Unfortunately, I think the chances of killing myself are far too high to ever seriously consider getting a motorcycle, but they sure are alluringly beautiful.
