Giving Back is the New Black.

Last Friday night I had the opportunity to attend a hair and fashion show put on by Lunatic Fringe Salon. The event raised money to donate to multiple charities. I spent the majority of the evening shooting guests on the step and repeat back drop as they came in, but when the show started, I was able to push through the crowd and get a few shots of the show...















I put together a quick highlight video of the evening...


Thank you to Steven Robertson for giving me the opportunity to attend this event, and Kaila Houston for assisting me through the evening.

i'm either a horrible blogger, or missing summer.

or both.

I have so many photos i haven't posted... sigh..

so this is natalie.

she's pretty, so enjoy :)

food fight!!!

fact: i have some really pretty friends.

So this idea was born during a conversation Natalie and I were having a conversation about our careers/passions. Nat is a culinary artist. Her food is awesome. Seriously. We decided we needed to create a joint venture. Natalie cooked up four brightly colored fruit concoctions. Think jam, but runnier and with big pieces of fruit. Then we added some pretty faces (Nat included) and got sticky.

These were shot on a seamless paper backdrop from Pictureline (http://www.pictureline.com/superior-thistle-53-x12-yds-seamless-background-paper.html) which was extremely handy when it came to clean up! Just tear off the mess and throw it away!

I used two strobes with white reflecting umbrellas to light this and shot it with my beloved Nikon d700.>

More from this shoot posted on my facebook page!

lane goes rock-n-rolla.

this photo session was inspired by the movie 'rock n rolla'. no, lane doesn't usually look dangerous and strung out... we can thank miss heather donahue's makeup skills for that! so here's a sample of how we spent out afternoon:









It was so fun to shoot something this unique! lane, great working with you again!

thanks for reading!

Leigh and Robert.

leigh and her cute little boy were photographed up provo canyon. they are the cutest pair ever!





while robert was trying to unthaw from the freezing canyon winds, i took a few shots of mommy. This one is my favorite...

halloween at forum hair school.

the forum accademia is located in american fork, utah. this year they held a halloween themed fashion show in pleasant grove. each student worked their hair and make-up skills on a model, and the model strutted their stuff on a runway in front of family and friends.

as soon as the models got off the runway they came to visit me! my team and i had a printer available where models/stylists could purchase 8x10 or 5x7 prints on the spot. we shot 30+ models, as well as a few family groups that attended the event. here are a few examples of the cool looks i saw that night...

if all goes well, i will be scheduling another shoot with forum in december to help the girls build their portfolios.

its been a VERY busy week for me! i shot 2 weddings, 2 receptions, an open house, runway show, and kynslie's annual clever christmas cards. i worked the midnight release of assassins creed 2 and left for dead 2, and fit in a weekend trip to vegas! so this week i'll be close to my computer getting all the touch ups done this week. lots more to come.

thanksgiving in wayne county with the family this weekend. happy holidays everyone!

trapt: a photo story. lol.

i spend too much time on the internet... so i was blog stalking and i stumbled across a photographer that would post a series of photos to tell a story. when i tried to find it again today i couldn't, but when i do i'll post his site cause its really worth looking at.

anyway.

i was day dreaming in the shower (which is where all my good ideas come from) and came up with this concept. The models name is rush. enjoy.

rush: you did great. thanks for posing for me! your a doll.

sid: thanks for letting me spill milk on your kitchen floor. :)

landon: your not the best supervisor/assistant, but i'm glad you came. and good job on that game off fifa you were playing during our shoot.

it was good to shoot something from my own brain today. i've been doing a lot of 'work' and less play with my camera. definitely not complaining. i love my job. shooting sean bessey tomorrow in exchange for chinese buffet. YAY!

thanks for reading.
