Kelly

Kelly was visiting from Florida, so we figured we'd do a few shots, just because. They came out beautiful!

This was her first time modeling, and she did a GREAT job.

She will be back in town soon, and there will be more photos up of new shoots =)

Spooky

I love the Fall. This season means Halloween, parties, & warm colors.

Last week my friend Alley came over & we did a very simple, yet amazing shoot...definitely one of my favorites. Everything about these photos sets the mood for Fall: spooky tattoos, dim/soft lighting, shadows, candles & Halloween party confetti.

Enjoy.

I forgot how much I love it outside...

I've been so caught up shooting in the studio all the time, that I forget how nice it is to take pictures outdoors.

The other day was overcast and windy & I really wanted to be out in it! So my friends Crystal & Michelle volunteered themselves for me to shoot...nothing fancy: just simple, relaxing, natural shots. They came out great, & I love them. I want to do more un-posed, natural shots. It was fun.

Here you go:

Arizona

I've wanted to use this display case in a shoot for a while. Luckily my friend Az was more than willing to jump in! Getting in and out of there was a chore lol, but she made it work! The location of the shoot was very interesting, since there were passersby that kind of froze once they walked in front of our window and saw a naked girl hanging out in a glass case...it definitely made the night fun! Thanks Ryan & Josh for all your help with moving things & your two cents ;)



Here's the results. Enjoy.

Sweet Tooth Art Show 8/2010

There's an art show this coming Friday in Portsmouth, everything is 'confection' themed. Here's a few of my entrys.

First is of Ashley, her bright colored hair/tattoos always remind me of candy anyway, so this worked out perfectly!

Second is my daughter Lucy...she's cute all the time, so i just sat her in front of my camera with some cupcakes =)

Third is Shan. We actually did this shoot last year, but the colors & little ice cream decorations are perfect for this show!

Miescha

These photos were taken to be auctioned at a benefit. I really thought they'd be kind of cheesy, you know: motorcycle, gun, bathingsuit...but I really liked how they turned out!

Miescha did an awesome job modeling & I'm definitely using her in a shoot again soon =)

Thanks to Krystar for doing a great job on makeup, & to Ryan for the location & bike.

Gas Mask Take 1

Sunday night (6/13/10) I got to spend a few hours at home shooting inanimate objects which i enjoyed alot! I bought a gas mask a few weeks ago & I wanted to experiment with it... so Josh volunteered to model for me =) A few lit candles for soft lighting & here are the results.

Afterwards, I went outside & shot on the bridge by my house, just to play with shutter speed & to get a few night shots. I'm the goofball silhouette in the middle!

I definitely enjoyed taking these shots, & I intend on doing more.
