Galleri Signing, Alexis Texas in the yay!!

today is our signing event! finally! we usually have an event once a year, but 2010 came with a few hardships and no signing events.

this year is different, Alexis Texas joined us for our event! sponsored by Elegant Angel

the day started with usual preparation. decorating, making room for attendees and setting the lighting. i used elinchrom quadra a-head with 39cm octabox. i also had a 580ex2 with 20inch softbox for some additional photos.

 when Alexis first walked in, i do say she surprised me. she was a very taller beautiful blonde than i expected. she's a very humble girl with cheerful attitude. she was very easy to get along with, just like one of the "guys" but so much hotter. the signing went through without no problems and we had dinner with Alexis at Chili's! girl can eat yo! loved that!



 


 



All I can say is "Daaaaammn!" Okay I finally finished going through some of the videos I took for our signing event with Alexis Texas. Enjoy!

2011 Jenna, Seconds Please

so today i got another chance to work with Jenna! we got her into one of her sweater dresses. using the front of the store we were able to make some great shots.

the challenge was background. i shot her inside the store last weekend, so i went with utilizing the great outdoors. great as in pallets, dumpsters, delivery trucks, and storage sheds. i tried a few shots here and there, with not too bad results. i tried to stay at shallow DOF mostly to keep her as a subject. =)



 

2011 Jenna M

Jenna Mason my coworker/buddy did some modeling for me. Jenna started modeling at the young age of 16. not only is she a model, but a ballerina! so if i wanted, i could ask her to do some pretty physical stuff. i decided to keep it simple and sweet. she's a cutie, and i think i got away with some nice shots.50mm 1.4, ambient light580ex II 430ex II

2010 Grandpa Samuel Anniversary

we decided to have my grandfather's 1 year anniversary for passing on. everyone decided to get together a few months earlier. this is always a special occasion when you can hang out with your family. just 1 year earlier we were all together for the funeral and celebration for my grandfather. shot 10-22mm, 24-70mm L.

The above photo will be my last time I see my Uncle Joe (Above). He passes away 1 month before the second year anniversary of his father Grandpa Samuel. Cherish time and cherish your family. Another reason why photos can be so important in our lives.
