Thought I’d post a little smattering of the pile of work I’m plowing through, both personal and professional. Each will get their own post as I finish the processing but I haven’t posted recently and would like some physical evidence that I’ve been working my butt off over here! Enjoy!

Can we all sit down for a minute and talk about the fact that Vickiann is someone’s grandmother? I don’t look this good now. Anyway now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, here’s some favorites from my shoot with my friend Hope’s (who I’ve photographed a lot) mother Vickiann.
More here.

My next installation in my lighting series is up at the Hideout Magazine. If you haven’t checked out this new e-zine, now is the time! There’s a ton of talent behind the scenes at the Hideout and I’m so excited to be a part of it!

Someone said that Ashley looked like a young Elizabeth Taylor, which brought about this one…I love it.

Wedding season is right around the corner for me, literally…my first 2010 wedding is in less than two weeks. This year I get the bonus of working with James Barron of Undying Photography for my weddings and I’m so excited to get started.
On top of the excellent partners I will have by my side this year, I have the added sense of peace I didn’t have last year because this is no longer my first year. I know my way around my job and I have the confidence that I can do my job under any circumstance and it’s letting me focus on enjoying the process. Last year was pretty intense. I couldn’t find a photographer to let me 2nd shoot (not even for free) so I just jumped in blind and learned the ropes while I was hanging from them. I’m glad that I did because now I feel like I can do anything. I’m hoping to fit in some 2nd shooter work this year however, I would love the opportunity to work with a seasoned pro and learn from them.
I really love my job. I look forward to the days that it affords me timely bill payments, but even in these early late penalty stages…I still love my job.
But I slump. I slumped for a while. I am coming out of it thanks to my amazing friends who I can’t help but be inspired by. I spend my days sitting in the sun and my nights by a fire with my models, my fellow photographers, my make-up artist and collectively, my best friends. This shoot was James’ shoot that he kindly brought me along for. I wasn’t expecting to go but I was carrying photographer guilt over my slump and jumped at the opportunity.
We brought nothing but our cameras and reflectors. More photos from this shoot will be appearing in my next Hideout Magazine post, going up soon!
This shoot went so well I asked Ashley (my beautiful make-up artist, click here for her website) to let me shoot her while she had her hair extensions in. I told her they reminded me of Cleopatra so Ashley transformed herself into a modern goddess and we shot her in this beautiful chair she has right in her dining room. I used flash here, with James acting as the world’s most awesome light stand.
More from Ashley’s shoot coming, as well as the new article and my first batch of roller derby shots! I’m one of the Providence Roller Derby’s “official” photographers this year, so there will be lots of roller derby popping up on this blog. Pretty cool!
