Are you thinking to yourself this is new, I've never seen studio work on this blog before.  This is my first time shooting real studio.  I will do shoots in my office but using window light and I've done a couple events where they want portraits with studio lights and a backdrop but with help of other photographers. Rose a photographer friend invited me to take pictures in her studio of Natalie, this beautiful model who wanted some 1940's pin up style pictures.  I had the best time and learned so much! It was relaxing with a controlled environment and camera settings.  Once I custom white balanced my camera and set the settings it was go time.  Natalie was a natural in front of the camera.  Thank you Rose for this great opportunity to explore new sides of photography.

A Very Sweet Wedding at the Encanto Park Clubhouse With Nicole and Chad

Image
 My first wedding of 2014 was with Nicole and Chad at Encanto Park Clubhouse.  This wedding was so sweet with fabulous details.  I mean really fabulous details, from the location, to the bridesmaids attire and reception details.  If you follow my blog regularly you know I usually do not post to many detail shots, I always photograph them, I just do not post them.  For this post I am posting more then average because they were just so fun.  Thank you so much Nicole and Chad for allowing me to capture your sweet wedding.  It was such a great way to start 2014.

I want to say I am experiencing my 15 minutes of fame, since I had my 5 when I was 12.

I was selected to ask a question, in which now I can't remember if it was to Lief Garrett and I am thinking the host was Kristy McNichol, aggg... Anyway when the episode aired on TV I was to embarrassed to watch myself. Da I wish I would have!! On to my recent fame, I was asked to shoot the cover of the Arizona Bridal Source Guide this past spring for Kim Horn and it is out and about. This fame will last longer then 5 minutes since it will be available for the next 6 months. I am so very excited and am happy with how it turned out. It was a great and nerve racking experience! You can pick up a copy at several bridal shops around town and it will also be given out this weekend at the big bridal show at t...

Jason + Dena = wedding @ Sassi

Image
Where to start? When my friend Nancy heard that Dena was engaged she sent her my way. I met with Dena and Jason and instantly felt comfortable with them and was very excited to be their wedding photographer. Since the time of meeting Dena up to the wedding I have gained a new friend. In getting to know Dena through my photography workshop, emails and fb I noticed she had a specific idea of how her wedding would feel, look and be documented. In quoting Dena "I am a pictureaholic". I have been shooting weddings forever, but I still get nervous and every once in awhile I will feel intimidated and this was one of those days. However, once I get to the venue and have my camera in hand the feelings all go away and I never lose sight of the importance of this once a in lifetime moment! Jason and Dena were married at Sassi , an incredible venue in north Scottsdale. It was an amazing wedding that ran perfectly with the help of Valerie with blueprint affairs . I also had the lovely Tr...
