I’m back from a HUGE vacation, the biggest and longest trip I’ve ever taken in my life and it was with 10 of my family members!  Eleven of us went to Germany, France, England and Ireland last month and it was AMAZING!  I’m still editing photos from my cousin’s wedding I shot right before we left, and haven’t even gotten to the vacation images yet…but here’s what I shot with the iphone while I was away…

Paris, France

Rhine River Cruise, Germany

London, England

Mainz, Germany

Paris, France

Cliffs of Moher, Ireland

This past Friday I had the pleasure of doing some headshots for the wonderful and talented G-Ryda.  He’s an up and coming hip hop/rap super talented artist that I’m sure you’ll be hearing about in the near future.  He’s also an Iraq war veteran, so I was so happy to be able to do these images for him.

We did the typical head shot type stuff, and then moved on to some more fun poses….I haven’t done any types of shoots like this, and because I needed a large area to do these, we used our big loft set up upstairs.  I tried to get a little creative with the lighting and shadows and was really pleased with how these came out.

Thanks G-Ryda for the great session, you are a natural in front of the camera, you’re very talented and I think we all had a great time!

Holly McCaig shot one of her seniors on our Aged Red Doors backdrop and here’s a sneak peek!  This is one of my favorite backdrops we offer.  Sized 5 feet by 8 feet and at just $90.00 it’s a steal!  It works in so many different situations…whether you’re shooting models, seniors, boys, girls, kids or babies…it’s a great all around backdrop to have in your arsenal.

And to show you how different processing can give all of our backdrops different looks…here’s a shot I did on the same backdrop design…
