Looking Back

As I sit here at the computer moving the vast array of photos (over 5 tera bites or 5000 gb) worth of archived Weddings, Engagement Shoots, Trash The Dress Shoots, Family Photos, and so much more from the past few years. I stumbled across of all the photos Kenys TTD shoot. I forgot how beautiful my bride looks in her wedding dress. I have to say that I am glad that I did come across the photos as I have had several clients ask what we did for our TTD Shoot. Here are a few of the photos that I have edited. Oh Yeah, cant forget Hair and Makeup is by Sara Vickrey. Oh how I love Sara…

Sneak Peek: Heathers Senior Session

Just a peek:

Dominika + Donald = Wedding Bells

So Heres the next wedding that we shot this year. Dominika and Donald are from Canada AHEY! Sorry I had to throw that in guys. We love Canada the cold and cheap RX’s what else does any growing boy need. Ha Ha. But back to the story of Dominika and Donald. Dominika had her hair and makeup done at The Salon at Encore. The Wedding was held at Guardian Angel Cathedral. The service was so pretty. Then we headed back to The Encore, got our stuff and headed out to our old stomping grounds Nelson, NV. Where Donald enjoyed the ride out in his new Chevrolet Camaro. VROOM VROOM… He said it was so hard not to just pull out and let her fly.We did all there photos at Nelson, there were so many to chose from so sorry if the photos keep going. It was so hard to cut these out and for good reason. Well I will let you decide for your self.

Got to check this site out!!!

So here I was today in my little wonderland called Josh Vill. I was perusing one of the photography blogs that I check out, and I came across a recent post about a cool photographer. I thought that I would watch his video, its through Wired magazine so it must be good I thought. It was on how photographers can over think lighting. I am guilty of that. So here I am watching this photographer talk about how he likes his photos so I check out his site. I have now entered the world of WOW!! This guy is great. Not just the oh boy this guy is good for now kinda great, but this guy knows what hes doing and is so good that he makes it look like child’s play kind of good. I am now thoroughly impressed and have to share his work with you. His name is Clay Enos based in New York. His site is below. Git it a whirl and you will enter his world of photography. This guy is great. Take a look for your self.

Sneak Peek: Seniors A Go Go

I did my first senior session on Saturday with three very wonderful 2009 Seniors. It was sooo much fun, and I can’t wait to do another Senior session! For now I’ll leave you with a sneak peek!

Meet: Andrea

 

Meet Sam: 

Meet: Brad

They were fun, fashionable, spunky, and rocked out Prom wear like no other!

P.S. In case you missed it we were featured on Weddingbee yesterday by our personal favorite bee, Miss Dumpling. We’re so excited for her wedding which is very, very soon.

A Different Kind Of Headshot: Liane

I am so happy to introduce to you my fellow friend and business contact, Liane Fortino. She has recently joined the business of wedding coordination, and I couldn’t be more happy for her. Not only is she creative, fun, and original, she is meticulous and a perfectionist, all great qualities for a wedding coordinator. She is currently working on her website, and asked if I would do some headshots for her. I, of course, said yes.

I think when people think of headshots they automatically think of the eighties head shots. You know, the ones lit by a flash against a cheesy background which hey if that floats your boat, go on with your bad self. Me personally? I wanted to introduce a different kind of headshot, a more relaxed version of it. After all if you’re working in a creative field why not show a little bit of that creativity off? Show your personality and what makes you original! I asked Liane if she was down for ” a different kind of headshot”, and well the rest is gorgeous photo history.

We started out with some sassy photos:

I wanted to capture Liane’s personality:

I don’t know how she will ever choose a headshot for her business card:

 


It’s funny how one wall can provide so many different looks:

And probably my fave of the day:

Although this might be a close second:

And the green wall keeps on giving:

And my second fave of the day for sheer coolness:

There were a couple more shots I loved of Liane in front of that house:

Afterwards we found the perfect little picket fence:

And one last one for good luck:

Liane, I had an absolute blast shooting with you. You are just a wonderful model. I can’t wait to work with you soon, and hope that you enjoy your headshots. I can barely wait to see “Simple Details” come together.
