Fire Works, I Need More Work

I have little to no experience shooting fireworks, so of course I tried it this past fourth of July. I wasn't too thrilled with the results. Thankfully I have a year until I try it again! ; )

E and Bixby

My friend's son E is just getting so big! He's getting to be such a great little model too, well after a few minutes of not doing what he's told! I don't think he wanted Bixby in the shots either, as he tried to push him away and sit on him.

My naked friends

I can't begin to explain how much I want to do and how little time there always seems to be! I have been inexplicably busy for the past three months. What's worse is that I have very little photos to show for it, and not enough time to catch up on posting the ones I do have to show. Anyway, here's the "cleanest" shot from a recent erotic art shoot. I asked my friends to get naked, and they did! Crazy.

New Spot, New Photos of Myself!

I had a great short session with Darryl, who did pretty well. I found new spots at Sunset Park, which is always a good thing. Also figure out that there is a mass amount of people that get up before 9am and they were all the park!
Also was able to get some photos of myself during my last studio shoot!

Lauren's Senior Photos

For someone who hates photos of herself, Lauren photographs incredibly well! Even though they were technically senior photos, she's a great model. I loved so many of these images.

Josie and Family

These kids were great! I'm happy I actually finished proofing in a timely manner too. I wish the park hadn't been so crowded, Sunday afternoon and all. I still got some nice shots!

A Vegas Wedding

I was very fortunate to be part of this wedding! The bride is one of the most awesome people I've ever met. The bride and groom made it way too easy for me! I wish I had a wedding like this one every weekend.

Jewelry

I took a shot at product photography! Actually, I've done product photography before (kind of) just never with jewelry. I have to say it was tough because I don't really have a wide enough lens to really capture it the way I want. Still, I worked with what I had and although my new studio space is a little cramped I finally had a shoot! I loved trying different things out with lighting and Plexiglas. The jewelry is from chezchani, and it is awesome.

Lone Mountain Park

Four boys whose ages ranged from 3-11 and a single mom. They were so awesome! Here are a few preview images...I am still working on proofing the rest. I found a new park too!

Park and Recreation

Here are some photos I've not gotten to post in some time. I'm still trying to recover from the move! I've discovered a new park, Aliante. It's really beautiful so of course I've already shot there twice. I was there with some friends and then I had the pleasure of shooting Josie from model mayhem there. I had her model some Chezchani jewelry while we were outdoors. I am going to shoot the jewelry indoors since it was a windy day and at 2pm with no cloud coverage, it was way too sunny.

I also had the pleasure of meeting Valerie of www.bigfeetpjs.com. She needed a photo for a national publication. It was way too easy and I'm getting a tear sheet! Yay.

Renovations

While still in the process of renovating my website, I began a different renovation! I am going to be moving into a house where I will be able to have some studio space, which is very exciting! Here are a few photos that I've worked on recently. Stay tuned for the meaty before and after pics of a faux stone treatment to cement underneath carpet we tore out! Watch out HGTV!

The New Logo

I'm re-doing my website still...it's almost "finished." I still have yet to get my photo galleries up, I keep getting distracted by new and exciting things like www.jalbum.net, new backgrounds for my video work, and work itself. I thought I had a lot of "free" time but no, I ended up with work! Yay for me. Here are a few newer, arty photos along with my logo.
