Retro Girl

Had a fabulous glamour shoot yesterday. The location was a really gorgeous mansion; I used the library, the patio, and the mock diner. Here are my favorites from the mock diner, so retro, I love it! I'm such a sucker for all things 50s.

Gingers

Had a couple of shoots recently with some red-headed girls. I love love love ginger hair.

Isaac

Here are some new shots of Isaac Strycker, a band member (Keys/Vocals) of Electric Touch! I shot him about a year ago, and I think my technical abilities have come a long way since then. He recommended that I just wing it for the shoot, which I was a bit hesitant about at first, I tend to be a bit of a control freak when it comes to my photoshoots. But it was surprisingly invigorating, I was absorbing so many ideas at once, and the nice thing was that he did whatever I asked him to do, and then some. A true model. Today was a gorgeous day for the shoot, too, there were tiny yellow butterflies EVERYWHERE, I really wish I could've gotten some shots of that. Today's shoot was really successful, I'm hoping I can add at least a few of these to my AP Portfolio.

Weddings!

Here are some shots from two weddings that I shot this past Summer/Fall. I'm not quite sure if this is the area of photography that I will pursue, but I'm certainly considering it. They were both scary and amazingly fun experiences.

Paperself Lashes Shoot

Did a spectacular shoot using Paperself lashes. You can buy your own Paperself lashes here.

I'm really loving my portable studio - It's wonderful.

Autumn Splendor

I did a country style shoot at Commons Ford Ranch with one my friends a few months back. We took an old garden chair, a bird house, and some tablecloths to add to the country-style feeling.

Cute Couple

Had a shoot with a couple yesterday. These B&Ws were my favorites.

Little Cowboy

Took these shots of my family friends' five year-old, he loves playing dress up. This little cowboy outfit was absolutely adorable. There's something so cute about kids walking away from you in pictures, so confident and sure of themselves. :)

Studio Work: Three!

Third studio shoot today. The model was great, I loved working with the warmer colors.

Studio Work: 2

Just got my portrait lens today. Put it on a nice, shallow f-stop. Took some shots of another friend with the white backdrop today. Here are my favorite shots:

Santa Fe: Bonanza Creek Ranch

Here are some shots from when I went to Bonanza Creek Ranch, a movie set, with my workshop to shoot with models. Earlier that day, I had stepped on a cactus, so walking around was a bit of a pain. But besides that, this was most definitely my favorite day. The models were so amazing and easy-going, I just loved every minute of working with them!

Studio Work

I just got my first portable studio with the basic umbrella lights and backdrops. These are some shots of a friend that I took the other day. We just worked with the white backdrop, I hope to work with the black one soon.

Santa Fe: Family Time

One of our assignments was to work with a family. This family was so great and the kids were absolutely adorable. I shot with a 50 mm lens/1.8 f, on a Nikon. The workshop lends out Nikon equipment, and my instructor suggested that I work with one so I could see the difference in d.o.f. on a 50 mm lens. I loved the result from that lens, but I gotta say, switching from a Canon to a Nikon just a few hours before was a bit tough. Thankfully, someone in the class had the exact Nikon (D7000), so I had some help.

Santa Fe: Around the Plaza

Got back from a 10-day trip to Santa Fe for a Santa Fe Photography Workshop a few days ago, these are some shots from the around plaza. Bought four pieces of turquoise at the Indian Market. Loved all of the colors and adobe.

Zen Party

Took these still-life/creative shots at a band party the other day.
