Photography.Fitness.Rachel Morgan

Amazing Rachel Morgan, modeling to expand her portfolio, focusing on fitness aspect. Hopefully we will see her in some magazines soon! We shot at Laguna Beach and want to give a special shout out to the sweet spring breaker boys that helped us with the shoot (holding the reflector on Rachel, towel duty etc) Thanks guys!!! More pictures to come!


It Has Come...

Yes that is right... My brand spanking new camera come in the mail today. I am so overly impressed by the few shots I have taken that I am freaking out inside a little bit. This is going to take my pics to a new level and I'm just overcome with excitement! I am shooting the lovely Rachel Morgan Thursday morning so this will be amazing! I cannot believe the quality and clarity of the pics in low light!!! I always had to work around this problem with my other camera... Its unreal people!!!
If you're wondering I purchased the Canon 550d. It's 18.1 megapixels, shoots 1080 HD Video (yay!) and does some amazing other things that I can't wait to try out... well worth the price paid and God knows I worked my tush off to get this! Anyway just a lil update.. pics coming soon of the past 5 shoots I have done in last 2 weeks...

What a wonderful time photographing these two 12 year old beauties. Their mom's are interested in getting them involved in modeling and acting. This was their first time ever in a professional photoshoot and they did amazing. They are total naturals. This is Yasmeen. She is 12 but has a very mature look on camera. Comp cards coming soon! If interested in getting in contact with her mom for bookings, please shoot me an email. Thanks!

She is definitely a natural and has the most beautiful crystal blue eye too! Comp cards coming soon. Please email me if you'd like her mothers email address for any bookings. Thanks!

Photography.Children.Maddie

Isn't my daughter so beautiful!!! I need to start taking way more pics of her but I have been overwhelmed by new photography jobs every week, which isnt a bad thing of course but my lil babe needs pics too! She pays me in lovies and kissies. I can't believe she has daddy's exact blue eyes, its so adorable. When I was preggers I prayed for her to get daddy's eyes over my brown ones. God is great!!! But this pale white skin.. we have no idea where she got that from haha, hopefully she'll tan ok and not burn.




New business cards/rep cards

So recently I was approved, as a professinal photographer, to offer high quality prints through a printing press that serves only pros. I was very excited because I felt that brought me to a whole new level.. from hobbyist to beginning professional. They offer us a lot of different marketing tools including these which they call "rep" cards. So for each type of special that I offer, I'll have a rep card so that I can market to specific targets when necessary.. granny may not need a boudoir card lol, but more of a family card.. you get it right? So I just got my modeling rep cards (1st pic below) and ordered them on high gloss, they look amazing.. and Nicole's the model. Below is a boudoir card with Danielle modeling. The finish is AMAZING in person, its called "pearl" and it is so beautiful, but doesnt show all its glory on the picture.. Remember if you refer anyone to me that books a shoot, the referrer gets $20 cash. That special will always be something I offer :)

Modeling "comp cards" or "zed cards"

I have had several recent requests for modeling type shoots. For people starting out in the industry, they may not know what agency's will require or the proper networking tools to get as much exposure as possible. Through my research, its crucial for aspiring models/actors to carry "comp cards" or "zed cards" They are printed in high gloss on 8.5 x 11 paper and folded at the half. Usually resume is printed cleanly on the back so it opens as a book. I took a shot at making a few layouts for Nicole. I took inspiration from the web and comp card examples. Here are the first 2 templates. I think they are really sharp! Hope she gets some work really soon :)
