Old Stuff…

I was digging around some old drives and ran across a few shots of Jazzy’s dance class from about 15 months ago. Jazzy doesn’t dance anymore, but these will be cute to me forever.
Snap shots that have definitely grown on me since last viewed…
Have a great weekend…! :D
Fun With ConMon

It’s CRAZY windy this morning. I’ll probably find the power out @ the studio when I get in. C’est la vie!
Yes it’s been like 3 weeks since the last blog. ’Tis the season of head down editing and not a whole lot else. But sometimes you have to stop and realize that you HAVE to make time for taking a break. Just so happens my break times consist of a lot of photography and editing. Work/life/love – what’s the difference? 
The ‘prohibition party’ Tara and friends through for the Frankles last month inspired Connie and Monica to put a shoot together. We rented, borrowed and invented a few different things and just played around with it for a while. Kat came in on makeup once again. Turns out she DID have bigger eye lashes in her bag…who’da thunk it? And thank you to Kendra F. for the pearls…it’s good to know good people!
This time out I wanted to see what the basement of Berwick Brewing had to offer. Lots of neat stuff, but I’m a fan of ceiling height…I liked the upstairs (from the last blog) a bit more. When you read a sentence like the last, realize that’s me whining to myself to stop whining and adjust accordingly next time – to just deal with it. Challenges are AT LEAST 1/2 the fun for me with a camera in hand. When I can make it work…we’ll that’s just a good day!
Anywho, we had a lot of fun, added to Connie and Monica’s growing pile of images and learned mucho. We have 4 or 5 more shoots planned for various locations around the Brewery in the next month or so. I’ll be posting whatever I have time to finish. For now, it’s back to the ‘work’…or was it life…or love…
Rock on!

This past Monday I had a chance to get the girls and Connie out for an evening fall shoot. It was probably the nicest fall day we’ve had this year. Just a fun time chasing the girls around and practicing some shot ideas…
Rock on!
As of late

Holy crap, I’ve been trying to get a post up for DAYS! Easier said than done, mostly because I’m a bit of a perfectionist. I can’t help it…oh well.
Here’s a few from last weekend at Rickett’s Glen with the crew. The Zourides Brothers rocked out a goofy lighting experiment, and we all had a great time. And then there’s Beth and the water shots. Every time I work underwater I learn a million new things. Same here. I can’t tell you what I learned…well, I could, but then I’d have to kill you…which would be a challenge at the very least! :P It’s fun, it’s really challenging and always educational…
Enjoy!
Sneakin’ #1 In
The more I work with someone, the more fun the shoots become (for the most part ;P). So it goes when I get a chance to work with Connie on shot ideas anymore. Getting our personalities on the same page when it comes to shooting is ‘part of the fun’, but when we’re firing on all cylinders together it’s magic. We’ve had a few crazy months trying to get ready for the season; getting things in order to help other people with their imaging needs. It’s easy to forget that I have a willing and ready model with which to play around whenever I’d like. One that really LIKES to have her picture taken.
Connie and I stole of few moments of life back this morning and cracked off some lighting ideas I wanted to work on. Being able to create images like these with her, for her, is really what it’s all about…
Enjoy…
…about being gone for a month…

hehehe…I wish. On our way out on Thursday morning I stopped in to the studio to grab some gear and change the message machine. In my haste and excitement I looked at the wrong month on my computer calendar and said we’d be back on July 28th…hhahahhahhahahah LOL ……..don’t I wish!!!!!!!!
It was only up for about 30 hours before Mr. Andy Zourides bailed me out and stopped in to change it for me. So, if anyone was lucky enough to call last Thursday or Friday – my bad! 
Someday I’ll be able to hit the road for entire months, but it’s not this year – {crosses fingers for next year though…}
We’ll be back in the studio full swing tomorrow, Tuesday, JUNE 30th…as far as I know! 
Rock on
