Book Smart

December 09, 2013 in Outdoors, Shooting, Book

The process isn't short, but it's so worth it. I love photo shoots from beginning to end. Well that just it, just because I have placed the camera down doesn't mean I'm done. There is so much more work that goes on behind the scenes, and post production work that need to happen. For this shoot in particular there were so many moving parts and people involved. Those people involved helped to make the final product of this book beautiful and a success.

Jesselah - The book, my first of more to come. Get one for yourself. Digital or Hardcover available.

Hard Cover Book

Some people make it look so easy!

November 14, 2013 in Boudoir

Professional models are always fun to shoot, but my some of my favorite people to photograph are regular people. People who never though "they" could come across just as beautiful, just as sexy and surprise themselves in the end. This was exactly the case with Brandee. Cool girl, proud mom, always smiling and full of energy. She came to the table with her own thoughts and ideas. She knew what she wanted and only needed my pointer finger to press the trigger.......ok and a couple lights. Although she knew what she wanted, it doesn't mean there we no butterfly for her. Never having been in a boudoir shoot and showing yourself to someone you barely know can be a little scarey, understandably. After a short chat and reassuring her, she forgot I was even around!

Field of Dreams

October 22, 2013 in Outdoors

Or lack there of.........Although I am a huge fan of fashion, glamor, and beauty photography, I believe you have to step outside your comfort zone and try new things then bring back what you have learned to your normal arena. While visiting South Carolina I did just that. It was not about pretty smiles, fancy heals, or blingy things from head to toe. I took a look at an open field and decided to make it my playground (while praying not to get shot on some guys property.) I got Nicole to be my victim for a bit and proceeded to the open field. It was pretty fun considering shes never had a photo shoot before, let alone forced to shoot barefoot, in an all black dress and in an open field crawling with natures finest.
