I’d like to introduce you to Swacy, she’s a very beautiful young woman who needed photos to submit for the annual Hooters calendar competition.
Hooters shoots their own photos for the calendar, but the models need photos to get selected for it.
Swacy told me what they were looking for and since it was December and she needed swimsuit photos I drug out my beach scenic background.
We also shot some fun stuff for a Christmas present. Swacy was great to work with, we made some really fun photos.
Anyway, goodnight and have a great week. :)
Hi folks, I’m trying to avoid studying for my Advanced Communications Law midterm tomorrow night, so I think I’ll do a blog post. 
If I haven’t mentioned it before I’ve decided to work on a master’s degree in communications.
I spent most of Saturday up at the ASU Convocation center for a basketball double header against Troy. The women played at 3 then the men at 7. Unfortunately we lost both games but they were both pretty good and fairly close. The score for the women’s game was 75-69 and for the men’s 64-57. The Sunbelt Tournament is this weekend in Hot Springs Arkansas if you are interested… we are the host, why we are having it in Hot Springs I don’t know….
I spent the time between the games doing homework; I got done with about 10 minutes to spare.
Kevin wanted something different for his senior photos. In finding out what he’s interested in I found out that bowling is very high on his list.
I’d never shot senior photos in a bowling alley before but I thought it’d be fun. We arranged for an end alley so that I could lean out over the lane and make photos. These were quite a bit of fun to shoot, especially with the ball going by right below my head.
Once we got done with the fun stuff we shot some normal photos, you’ve got to make mom happy to you know. :)
I’d like to show you some photos I made with Hannah a little while ago. We put together some wardrobe with as bohemian feel to it and headed to the parking deck for some location shooting.
These photos were a lot of fun to shoot, Hannah is a wonderful model to work with and she is also absolutely beautiful.
Considering where we were shooting we only had a few people stop to check us out. But it was over Thanksgiving break and there weren’t that many people on campus.
I love the challenge of working on location, mainly because you have to work with what you’ve got, and to add to the challenge, I try to work with a minimum of equipment on location.
When we got our fill of the cold we headed into the studio for some beauty shots. Once I saw her outfit I knew I wanted to make them B&W, so I setup a gray background and got to work.
Hi guys, sorry it’s been so long since I said hello… but life has been kind of weird lately, but I’m finally starting to get things back together I think. 
This is Layne, his dad Jeremy (a buddy of mine I that I used to work with at the newspaper) and his mom Camela asked me to shoot his baby portraits.
Layne was a wonderful baby to work with (he didn’t poop all over the place and he smiled a lot, what more can you ask for from a baby) and I think he is a very lucky boy to have Jeremy and Camela as parents. OK, Camela is great, not so sure about Jeremy. OK, just kidding people… Jeremy rocks. :)
We shot a couple different sets, but these are my favorite photos from the session.
Thanks for including me in your baby memories guys. :)
Kara’s mom is a friend of mine who coaches’ tennis at Arkansas State, so when she had a daughter and a player in need of some senior photos she gave me a call.
And since they both wanted the photos that emphasized their tennis ability it sounded like a fun project.
Rone is from South Africa and is a very good tennis player, I know our program will miss her when she’s gone. I don’t know where Kara will be going to college, but I’m pretty sure it would be with a tennis scholarship. I don’t know if she can do that here with her mom as the coach… our loss I suppose.
