Natalia 5-4-08

Natalia was my last photoshoot of the weekend and my first guinea pig in a series I had thought up that really is just known as "gowns"...sorry for the lack of pizzazz lol basically, I just wanted to photograph girls in dresses that make them feel fabulous, and I was hoping to get some fashion/editorial posing in there as well...

The shoot took place at El Prado at the Gables, and I must say I am in love with A LOT of photos from this set!

Michelle 5-3-08

My third photoshoot in May was with Michelle, half of my favorite set of fraternal twins lol We had the shoot at her house, with her dog Linda watching =)

Larry 5-3-08

as mentioned in the previous posts, Larry's was one of four shoots that took place over the span of a weekend, which I must say was very hectic but also a LOT of fun...

I'm pretty sure Larry just wanted hot new pix for his myspace (lol) and I was more than happy to oblige! Jennicke was on hand as my "assistant", though she mostly just sat with my extra camera and lenses to make sure no one stole them ;)

Larry is not wearing any make-up, BTW lol





Larry had a little "help" from my assistant in this one ;)

Kimberly Hope 5-2-08

Kimmie is Laura's cousin (you remember Laura, right? from a few posts back? lol) She kicked off the month of May, which started with 4 shoots in three days! Kimmie's took place on a Friday, then I had Larry Saturday morning and Michelle Saturday afternoon before winding down the weekend with Natalia on Sunday...

Kimmie was another one of my victim's for the exotic make-up series, hence another one that I made up (let's just say for all purposes that unless otherwise mentioned, I did the make-up for EVERY shoot, just because it's easier to take that fact for granted than to have to mention it in every post lol). Kimmie's make-up was actually inspired by the charms on her necklace and her love of rainbows in general...

her boyfriend Chris and cousin Laura were present for the shoot, and although Chris was adamant about not being in ANY photos, I managed to catch him in a couple...

this was shot at the new Business building at FIU University Park campus...






i HATE that window or whatever that is in the background, but this picture was completely a matter of me catching a moment and was in no way posed, so I didn't want to even bother moving them and asking them to re-enact it for fear that the new image wouldn't have the same emotion...

the Sadler twins 4-27-08

this shoot was actually inspired by a photo the twins already had on their myspaces, of them in indian inspired body paint...I had each of the girls paint each other, which is why the painting doesn't match..I just wanted the photos to be an expression of the girls, both individually and together...

the lighting was a bit of a challenge here, but overall I got the feeling I wanted from the photos, and this shoot turned out one of my favorite photos ever!!!
