Networking and Headshot Event
You need a great headshot for your LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/Blog/Website/other online place that needs to show your face, but it seems like such a hassle to schedule an hour long photo shoot for one picture... I've been in that situation as well, and I have a solution. Come join me for an evening of networking and headshots. At this event you will join friends that you may or may not have met yet, chat, have some laughs and leave with a professional headshot for your profile pictures.

Photo Blogging Challenge-Spring
This month for the photo blog challenge the theme is "spring." I thought about taking it literally and doing an exploration in macro photography of the inner workings of watches, pinball machines and other such things, but instead I just let the current season guide me.
The first, and I think most obvious choice for pictures about spring are photos of flowers. Since flowers rank easily in my top 10 photo subjects the hardest part was deciding which ones made the cut to be included in this post.
The second, and not so obvious choice for this spring post, are these adorable girls who are in the springtime of life. Since school is out for them, they had time to come spend some time in the studio with me and try out some different backgrounds and lighting set ups. We had a lot of fun, and the choice of which pictures to include was just as tough as with the flowers.

Hair Show
I'm always looking for new and interesting projects, so when Corynn, who is currently a student at Taylor Andrews Academy of Hair Design, asked me to take get some photographs of her work at the annual school hair show I was excited to expand from portraiture into fashion. I started out with some behind the scenes photos of Corynn at work getting the hair styled.
After the hair was ready to go, there was a quick run through of the routine for the show in the parking lot, and I got a preview of the costume in action. I was a little jealous because that cape was amazing in the wind and the clouds were incredible.
After the run though, we took some time to get some shots that highlighted the hairstyle.
The next step for the day was the final dress rehearsal in full costume at the theater. Here Corynn and Celestine put the finishing touches on Jessica amidst the chaos of all the other students getting ready as well.
Finally, Jessica appeared on stage in full hair, costume and make-up glory.
Model: Jessica Fullerton
Makeup Artist: Heather Bruce-Billie
Hair Stylists: Corynn Nelson and Celestine McFall
Although I was mainly there to take photos for Corynn, here are few other images from the show.

Photo Blogging Challenge-Friends and Family
This month for the Photo Blog Challenge the theme is Friends and Family. Lately most of the subjects of my photos are friends and family, so for the 5 pictures for the challenge, here are a few pictures completed this month.
Photo Blogging Challenge-Two
This month for the Photo Blog Challenge the theme is two. This definitely leaves things wide open. I thought about doing a series of pictures about love, or just pictures with two things in the frame, and I took a trip to San Francisco/San Jose and even started with that thought in mind. I got pictures of two seagulls, a seagull and the Bay Bridge and a few other less than inspired images. Then, as we were on our way to check in to the hotel I saw these two pillars covered with mirrored tiles and I was instantly intrigued.
This first picture is just a reference point of what I was taking pictures of. There are many things about these pillars that made them so intriguing;
- The tiles were all reflective, but they also had different colors and antique looks to them.
- Since the surface was curved you could see different directions by looking straight on.
- When you looked at the reflection of one pillar through the other pillar it doubled the effect.
Here are my favorite pictures that came from exploring these two pillars:
I can't wait to explore another theme next month.
