Erin


I did another nude shoot yesterday with Erin. She was great! At one point in the day she started to have a problem with her eyes.

Go with it. Pile on the makeup and let it do it’s thing. I’m kinda glad she started crying, or we wouldn’t have this killer shot. 🙂

Rochelle


OK, I was going to save this one for last, because it’s my favorite image from Santa Fe, but I just didn’t want to go backwards after the last post. Of course, the next image I post will suck in comparison. 🙂

Smoking is gross. OK, I got that out, but it can make for an interesting image. This is the third in a series from Santa Fe. Many people got great images of JT that day… It’s hard not to. Here’s to every subject being as interesting as this one. If life were always this easy. 🙂

Ockenfels III at the equally legendary Santa Fe Photographic Workshops. Jeff was one of the photographers in our class. He is a world renowned snowboard photographer that travels around the globe as Burton’s main shooter.

Michelle and Chris


Another pregnant friend means a trip to Brooks’ studio for some fun. Anyway, I’m always trying to figure out a new way to shoot pregnancy photos, so I hope this isn’t a cliché. We also did some beauty shots of Michelle, so I’ll hopefully show those when I get back from Santa Fe.

Nicolette


Nicolette just went from blonde to brunette so we did a test shoot to get her some more pictures for her portfolio. This was one of those, “we have a half hour left” shots that ended up looking OK after we finally finished and took a breath. 🙂

Another shot of Ceana from our test shoot a while back. You knew I was going to have a Polaroid 55 for that right? Well, here it is. I have two other variations that I like, but this looks so regal, she’s like a queen.

Mecca


I shot Mecca after a Dayspa cover shoot. I don’t have a story for this… I’m not sure why. Sometimes I just ask someone to sit, I try to take a nice picture of them and months later I work on it. This is one of those cases. 🙂
