Crayelle Cellars

Had the most amazing time photographing for Crayelle Cellars today! Craig and Danielle were so charismatic and wonderful! Their kiddos had so much fun playing in the barrel room. These little guys were so vibrant and full of energy!

Scooters

My husband took me to this little diner in Seattle called Randy's, great little 60's style restaurant, with original decor. There were several retro scooters parked outside, I couldn't help but photograph them! They are so cool and colorful!

Darcie

What an amazing photo shoot! Darcie is deep and soulful, her beautiful green eyes are stunning! What a great gal to photograph, did I mention she is also a photographer? Can't wait to do it again!

New!

This months theme "New" celebrates new life, new beginnings, and fresh starts. I love how bright and cheery Ashley is with her tiny raspberry plant. Thanks Ashley for playing in the dirt!

"New"

I'm generating ideas for my next theme "New"

I cannot express how much fun I had with this photo shoot! The March theme for the Photography Association of Wenatchee is "Decay" . My mud covered, leaf wearing model Fawn was awesome! Let me tell you, I never thought rolling on the concrete floor in a bed of wet leaves covered in oil and mud could look so good! Thank you Ashley for hair and makeup and for hand-picking those glorious leaves!

Off to clean up the pile of leaves!

Dharma's Photo shoot

I had such a great time photographing this little lady! Dharma was so creative and energetic, by the end of the photo shoot she was setting up the set and taking my photo! Dharma is so versatile, she rocked out to Miley in fairy wings and a black tutu then changed into destructed jeans, a beanie, and bare feet.























I had so much fun finding materials to use as backdrops, I found a gold damask duvet cover, cheetah print shower curtain, and some sheer curtains.

I ended the shoot with over 400 photos, it is going to be tough picking my favorite, there are so many great photos!

Babies and low light

My little man is growing up so fast. I wanted to capture him standing up. I chose to shoot this photo in my basement with low light on Tv, I used a Canon 17-85mm with 3 100 watt halogens and a diffuser. To compensate for the limited light I cranked up my ISO to 1600 with 1/30 shutter speed and f/8. My end result was a well composed photo, with a bit of noise.

Photography Association of Wenatchee

I joined the Photography Association of Wenatchee! I am excited to network and learn from other photographers in the area.

Me!

That's me! My husband is very creative with light. This was shot in my studio, aka my unfinished concrete basement. I must admit its industrial look and warm lighting casts a nice ambiance. We used 3 100 watt halogens, a 60" round diffuser and a silver reflector for fill light. I added a touch of "catch light" to my eyes. The "in" thing is to use ring lights around your lens, it gives that "deer in the headlights" effect. Being the model is tough work, all that gazing and posing....whew

Fawn's Photo shoot

I had an amazing time photographing Fawn! So full of creativity and spunk! Her images are mysterious and soulful. I love how edgy and industrial the background is, totally Fawn's style. I'm excited to experiment with other colors and textures for upcoming photo shoots. I'm thinking baroque wallpaper on muslin, so rich!
