So... I had my nose to the grindstone, burning the midnight oil (and then some!) when I came across this image from Lauren's shoot (soon Lauren, soooo soon!) and thought you might enjoy it as desktop wallpaper. I'm lovin' the colors! Here's the download sized to 1024x768. Enjoy!
(Now it's back to the grindstone for me!)
Yes, yours truly makes a 3 SPREAD appearance in the current issue of Artful Blogging Magazine. AWESOME! You can check it out below. Click on the photos of the article to view full size (you can actually read it!) If you're die hard and want to pick-up a copy of the magazine, it's available at Barnes & Noble.
PS: Thanks to Brookie-pants for sending over the great close-ups of each spread... my copy hasn't come in the mail yet! Doh!
Yes, I shoot a large amount of senior ladies.... but every now and then, a guy manages to find his way to my studio... and we always have a blast. I was stoked when Rylee showed up. He brought this ROCKIN' outfit (very a la JT, don't cha think?) and I couldn't wait to capture him in it.
These are my 3 faves....
I LOVE this!
Nice job Rylee. Great wardrobe picks! Way to rock the tie and dress shirt... I am lovin' it!
Emir and I are celebrating our 2-year anniversary today! We had to celebrate with another silly photoshoot.... to follow up on last year's shoot. Enjoy!
I love the colorfulness of this photo.... some photos just scream to be in color.
Others make jaw dropping black and whites. Sometimes people underestimate the power of a black and white photo. When color isn't a plus... it can be distracting. In some cases, the essence of the photo is more strongly felt without all that extra RG&B (for all you digital imaging nerds out there... myself included!).
I love how these look.
And sometimes, it's fun to make new color... look old. :)
Great job Natalie. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Robin came back a few weeks ago with two more Springboard gals for some fun portfolio photos. Here's Lauren & Mercedes rockin' the lens. :) They did such a great job!
I love the scarves, hats, sunglasses, and cowgirl boots they brought. When planning wardrobe for your shoot.... don't overlook accessories... they can make such a difference!
I love these two! (above + below). Proof that a great photo doesn't require a big huge grin... sometimes subtlety speaks volumns....
DrAmA! Love it.
Mercedes was rockin' the 'arms behind the head' move. :)
Nice work ladies!
Boy oh boy... I don't get sick often... but when I do.... I go all out. The summer bug that's been going around made itself quite at home with me.... and I've been fighting it all week. Arg.
Hope you're happy and well!
You may remember Jenna who introduced my new assistant, Ralph, a few weeks ago. Here she is as her gorgeous self, rockin' out some serious senior pix.... Nice work Jenna!
I {love} this!
Great laughs are where it's at....
Beachy beauty!
Can I get a little sass please? Whoa!
Enjoy Jenna.... you did you a fantastic job!
During the dinner toasts at last night's wedding, it was mentioned that Megan & Matt ought to be called "MegaMatt" in true Hollywood power couple fashion. While at first it may seem like this depicts Matt as a super hero, and may not necessarily be fair to Megan, it was later noted that having Megan in Matt's life does turn him into a super hero by making him the best he can be. So, the name is quite fitting after all. Well said.
Megan's dress was a reincarnate of her mother's.... so special! And... get this... her dress had POCKETS! She had the skirt custom made to fit the top of her mother's dress.... so, why not add pockets? Brilliant!
I love some of the incredible expressions I get to catch on wedding day. Yesterday, Megan had a monopoly on fun facials. :)
Here she is showing off the dress pockets.... love it!
They had all the flowers for the wedding grown at a flower farm, just for them!
The bridesmaids carried a variety of blooms... here they are making an "M" for Megan & Matt.... (it's a loose interpretation... ha ha!)
Wedding party silliness.... I love this shot!
Ella... the camera-happy flower girl. Isn't she adorable?
Boys will be boys...
I was thrilled to see Kylie, one of the fab Fisher Sisters, among the wedding guests. She is college friends with Meg. So fun to see her again!
Since Megan & Matt live in San Fran, it was only natural that they would bring in these decorative paper lanterns from China Town. They really added to the atmosphere. Great choice you two!
It's great to see young, confident lads entertaining the young ladies on the dance floor. This little guy was workin' it!
Megan had told me they were having a live band... which is always exciting. I was pumped when I got there and saw my friend Jon Hischke rockin' the saxophone. If you've never heard the FabTones before, you are seriously missing out! Looking for a live band for your wedding/event? Call Jim Pipher at: (402) 484-5548.
Here's Jon with some sax grooves....
What a great voice she had.... they were all truly fantastic.
I am honored to have been asked to be part of your special day. Best wishes to you now and forever!
Quite some time ago I received a phone call about lending my smiling mug to an ad campaign for Russ's Market. It was so long ago infact, that I completely forgot about it until people started telling me they saw me on a bus around town. How funny!
Wednesday (my birthday!) while on our way back to the studio during Molly's senior shoot, we passed a bus depot and look what was parked right in front of us! Ha ha ha!
