LOCK DOWN!

Like most first timers visiting San Francisco, Alcatraz was at the top of my sites list....well truth be told, it was second...right after the Jelly Belly Factory. Okay fine, it was third...after the Jelly Belly Factory and Facebook Head Quarters but that's beside the point.

The point is Alcatraz was awesome! The buildings were awesome, the stories were awesome, the scenery was awesome, and the photoshoot we did in an open cell with our new prisoner T's from the gift shop, as dozens of tourists passed pointing and laughing at us, was...AWESOME!

The Money Shot! I love that the money shot is the one where you can't see either of our faces.

Sad, but True.

Chi-Town Sunrise

Here are some shots from a fun shoot we did in Chicago. I've always wanted to a sunrise shoot and on opportunity to do one with Lake Michigan was not an opportunity I was going to let pass by. Here Whitney and I are trying to get ready and beat the sunrise to the Lake.

Luckily we did! This is my favorite we got with the water.

The lighting was just killer and made for some more amazing beauty shots in cool nooks we found around the pier.

For those of you familiar with Chicago you probably recognize the Ferris Wheel from Navy Pier. We were lucky to have got some fun shots there on the fair grounds before Security's first shift of the day started showing up.

This was another neat location our driver found for us when we told him we wanted some cool sketchy alley ways.

You can see him waiting anxiously in the background there...about to give us the signal to wrap it up!

Girls at Beach

It's been the summer of the Outer Banks for me and I am NOT complaining! On the most recent trip down a friend and I did an impromptu America's Next Top Model Themed shoot with her cousins, where they were able to practice their fiercest poses. Watch out Tyra!

Then we headed to the water since...who does photo shoots at the OBX without doing some on the beach???

It paid off...here are a couple of my FAVES!!

Lucia Lucia Show

A friends band, Lucia Lucia, had a killer show at Galaxy Hut last weekend. The atmosphere at this quaint little venue was awesome and we got some fun shots I thought I'd share.

Check out their stuff on their Lucia Lucia Myspace Page!

Heather to the Principals Office

Heather is always a good time to be around but doing a shoot with her was above and beyond for me. She was so open to my silly ideas and willing to try anything. I can’t speak for both of us but as for myself I had a blast and am thrilled with these gorgeous shots. Congrats Heather on your College Graduation and best of luck on your pursuit in becoming a Principal! Look out world!!

Photo shoot with Grant & Erin in Florida

I've been looking forward to this shoot for a long time! Pretty much since the day this boy was born and it was everything I'd hoped and more. I think it was more because of how sweet and charming Grant is. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to take pictures of him and more thrilled just to finally meet the boy!

There were perfect location spots all over but it ended up being a one stop shoot with the awesome field and abandoned road less than a quarter mile from the house. Grant was a true blue country boy, running on the road and around in the grass without shoes on. It was great and the shots turned out awesome! Here are a few favorites.

We got some good ones of mom and dad too!

Then Erin and I did a shoot of our own. I got a little carried away with the Egyptian Princess idea but Erin was a great sport! Love you babe!
