insanity!!! (1-18-09)

First off, HISTORY WILL BE MADE TODAY! GOBAMA!!!

:ahem:

Secondly, hi! LOL


This past weekend, my BFF Kary (you remember, the pro hairstylist/MAC make-up artist) joined forces with me to photograph a gaggle of girls (five in total, three of which I had never worked with before) to benefit both our portfolios...
What resulted was a hectic, fun, crazy 11 hour shoot, and almost 1000 amazing images!!!

The first shoot of the day was a newbie, Christie...Kary did a crazy duochrome look that I called "the storm" LOL Christie came out beautiful, and the make-up was amazing!


My next victim was Jennicke...We had her shoot outdoors, which was a bit challenging because by the time she was out of hair and make-up, the light was fading fast...We got a few great shots, but I was a bit upset to find that some of my favorite shots came out irreparably blurry due to the darkness. No worries, we've already made plans to reshoot =)






After Jennicke's shoot, I started with Lynn, who you might remember from the Beautiful Garbage Photography calendar. She had several outfit changes, and was definitely one of the more animated girls in the bunch. Everytime I'd "ooh and ahh!" over a shot, she'd stop the shoot to see for herself, whether it was her shoot or not LOL But her energy and enthusiasm are always appreciated!
















The fourth girl of the day (at this point night LOL) was Ana, who I've known since I was 10, but had never shot before...She has a fantastic face for beauty, and the talent to pull off high fashion...absolutely a treat to shoot! She also had several outfit changes, always exciting to shoot a model that contributes! Each of her looks was radically different, but I picked this photo to showcase because it reminds me of a CoverGirl ad. =)







The last shoot of the night featured Jessie, the lead singer of Audio Video Disco, who was an absolute delight to shoot! almost 300 frames, and not a bad shot among them! Jessie is beautiful, and very charismatic. She had a lot of ideas, was very natural and was game for anything, going as far as temporarily blinding herself for the sake of a shot. I really hope to work with her again!




GREAT SHOOT, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO FINISH EDITING SO I CAN SHOW THEM ALL OFF!!!

Nicole 12-10-08


I had SUCH a hard time keeping this one under wraps for so long, but the photos were meant to be a Christmas present, and the client went out of town til New Years, so I couldn't unveil the photos for risk of ruining the surprise!!!



Nicole found me through Anisey, a mutual friend that I've worked with a couple of times, and asked me to take these photos of her as a gift for her boyfriend...and what a small world, her boyfriend is a guy that was in my tightest circle of friends in high school!



I love how these came out, and I hope the recipient liked them as well! ;D
