FRESH

S and I went and had a awesome day of photographic fun! I remember when I was initially talking with her and she was asking what kinda theme we should work around. Without a moments hesitation I knew she could completely pull off an urban edgy shoot.
She was asking, could I? Am I able to? Check out below to see!

We were rolling around the garage floor, going under the stairs admist good ol' carbon monoxide...but oh so stylishly..at least for S
The garage is fantastic with so many neat crooks and crannies to go to. Absolutely beautiful light featuring a beautiful model!The light in the garage is neato...
Ooh, so then we went to the rooftop of the garage to capture this smokin' shot! (side note with a smokin' car)


Thanks for rolling around the lovely garage floor and putting up with the crazy ideas! And thanks mucho to V for helping out and coming along on the shoot! It was fun!

SUPER!

J is a very talented celloist, and back when I was scouting for volunteer models I was happy to find out that J would be ecstatic to volunteer. Not only that, but she also wanted to bring her cello for the shoot and oh did my mind wander with a frenzy of ideas. It was so cool to hear her play the cello as it echoed through the hills:This was when it started to sprinkle a bit, but we didn't let it deter us from taking pictures, we took some shelter under a tree
I actually found a wonderful field of yellow flowers I wanted to do some pictures in, unfortunately it was almost all plucked and cut, but we found a little bit left

J found a cool pile of wood to sit on, hey anything can be a prop!Mostly though, we had alot of fun and though we did get some good moody pictures it was all about having fun! woot!

RAIN III

Last but definitely not least, J and H (again ladies name first) but H first saw J at a supermarket before they even officially met and thought how beautiful she looked.
What a wonderful coincidence that later on through mutual friends he found out she was friends with his friends and so a romantic love blossomed!Look at H, what a pose! These two are totally ready for a fashion shoot now!

Just a nice group shot of all the guys, kinda reminds me of a band photoshoot or something.

RAIN II

The story continues!
My camera isn't built for the rain so I had to create a makeshift waterproof thing with sophisticated planning and technique, none other than the awesome power of the
zip lock bag! But since the wind was howling like crazy, we also had to constantly have an umbrella over the camera at all times too! But what a experience!
Enough jibber jabbering, the second couple H and S (ladies always first) are also another wonderful couple who grew to love each other since the time they met. Can you believe the picture below is the first picture taken? They're so photogenic!

RAIN

Rain: Pouring
Wind: Blowing crazily
Temperature: COLD cold hurts your face cold

So this series I was able to meet with 3 wonderful couples and did something I've wanted to do for awhile: shoot in the rain. Oh and did we get aPLENTY of it the day of. I know holding out on the suspense but I am gonna do couple by couple (I just thought I would do it in the order I met them just in case you're wondering how I'm doing this) The rain definitely set the mood and environment :)

Thanks again to M and K for rounding up all the couples! These two have been going for 2 years strong now and though it hasn't ever been scheduled, somehow I keep ending up taking their pictures since their wedding day!

Professional models:
This playground had such a cool feature...the whale that M is sitting on has a blow hole that actually spits out water! I am impressed!
Oh and I say this again M, love the red hot lipstick!
Love the colors on this one--intentional blur ~

The raindrops falling on their head created a beautiful halo around the couple .

FANTASTIC

Yep, that's how great this photoshoot and the model was. Thanks for going all day and helping me build my portfolio! Here are some faves from the day.

BEACH

Winter time beach shots! It was unseasonably a fabulous day at the beach to take some awesome shots.

This one is bird island, there are SO many birds on that island, you can look through one of these telescopes to see--pretty cool!
Some flare shots, dang look how beautiful the color of the ocean is, stunning~

Can you tell there is a underlying theme of I love flare? ^_^
