and the poll winner is….

September 30, 2009

…red Nerd necklace model Krystal C. with 242 votes! Congratulations Krystal, way to sell it:)  Email me re: your grande prize! By the way, I’ve heard from Racheal of Jewelry by Najite (website coming soon)  and she says the stones are dyed turqouise nuggets.

For those of you who may not be on my facebook page yet,  here’s the little video clip created by Dollface Films that I posted on there last week….  \”behind the scenes on YouTube\”

Sorry for the short post, I’m an editing fiend right now.  Be sure to check back in next wed. for a really looooong one about something I’ve never photographed before!

The Nerd Necklaces

September 23, 2009

     This past Sunday I had the opportunity to work with Tinnell McIntyre and Racheal Okotie who hired me to take some shots for their pending websites.  Tinnell is an amazing  makeup artist and all the custom jewelry you’ll see on the models in the behind the scenes video clip (soon to come) were handcrafted by Racheal.  You can see more of her work on her temporary site www.najite.com  All the pieces were really unique but my favorites had to be what we dubbed the giant Nerd necklaces…fun, colorful, & although highly unedible, they may make you drool. :) I’ll have to ask Racheal what kind of stones those are.

 The models were all exceptional, and I thought it would be fun to run a new poll ANTM style.  Even better though as none of the models will be voted off ! The winning model will win a photo prize valued @ $100.00…

I thought for my first real post a recent maternity session would be somewhat fitting. After all, bringing a new blog into the world is almost the same as hatching a baby right? (That’s what my 5yr. old Sofia calls it…hatching.)
I’ve had the country road location we went to in mind for a long time, waiting for the right people to photograph there. Eric and Laura are not only photographers themselves and up for anything, but world travelers who spent most of the last few years shooting everywhere! So tying the “road less traveled/traveler” theme to them was a match for sure. Just a couple of days after this session, they proudly hatched little miss Piper Zofia and can now add the non-exotic but adventurous land of Parenthood to their well worn passports:)

p.s. I plan to update the blog once a week, subscribe to the rss feed and you’ll get notified of new posts as they happen.

blog header contest!

September 7, 2009

   I first came up with this idea when I thought you could only have 1 pic. in the header section (keep in mind I’m brand new to this blogging bizness!).  Then it was kindly brought to my attention that you can have several shots in the header. Although awesome, it kinda blew my whole poll/contest idea out of the water. But just to test it out and to make Marcelle happy, I’m posting the poll anyway so she can vote for herself over and over.  Plus, each of the couples guinea pigged will get a copy of their winning shot, because seriously they all brought it.
