Marissa

Last weekend I had the amazing opportunity to shoot senior pictures for Marissa. She is such a gorgeous girl and we had so much fun!! Despite the fact that I ended up stepping in a giant pile of mud toward the end of the shoot. Oh well!! What good is a photo shoot if you don't get a little dirty? Oh yeah and it was prom at a venue nearby, and we had to fight all the pretty prom couples and their moms for some pictures :) We had fun looking at their fun dresses though!! Marissa had just had her prom the weekend before so it was fun to compare. Her boyfriend Sergio was such a trooper and held her lipstick and extra clothes!! It's always good to bring an assistant to help out with all those little details. Congrats on graduating!! Peace out High School :) 

Modern Beauties!!

Check out these beauties!! All three ladies are debuting on the blog for the first time! I had the absolute privilege to work with these three beautiful girls. They all volunteered to help me out for a high fashion shoot for a project I'm working on in my photography class. They all looked gorgeous :) 

We started at the ridiculous hour of 7am on a Saturday. When each girl arrived, they were sent to hair and makeup, courtesy of Jessie Fleger with Glamorous Design. Next they came to me for a studio shoot. Finally, we headed to our on-site location for the day!! Look at these troopers with props and coffee in hand...

 Chelsea was first up!!  We didn't have the time for a studio session, but she rocked the on-site shoot so well :) She claimed to have no real model experience, but I can't say I believe her entirely. I mean look at these gorgeous images she was giving me. She was a complete natural!

I love, love LOVED Chelsea's hair!! Jessie did such a great job creating our vision :) 

I'm loving the expression in this image!! 

The lighting was working so well for us during this particular part of the session!! It's absolutely stunning :)

Her eyes were working the camera so well...you know the expression "Smile with your eyes" well,  she's got it down for sure!!

By far my favorite image from her session!! I love her eyes, expression and the lighting just works perfectly.

 Had to throw in a fun one...its not ALL serious the whole time :) 

Yep! Definitely no amateur here ;) 

Erica was the next model up! We started in the studio. I had never worked with studio equipment at all so this was a new experience for me :) Normally I work with only natural lighting. I had so much fun though.

As you will soon see, Erica is a phenomenal model! She is actually a legit professional model :) It was so great to have the opportunity to work with her. She knows exactly what to do and how to work the camera. 

Every image of hers is absolutely stunning!! I'm pretty sure she doesn't know how to take a bad picture. 

Her makeup also looks flawless in these pictures, thanks to Jessie Fleger!!

I wanted to try out a new technique with a piece of plastic and a spray bottle. It actually turned out better than I expected and looks like actual glass :)

I love this one! The colors are so perfect, and her lips just POP!

I entered this image, among others, into the Student Art Show at Chandler Gilbert. It was selected to be shown in the Art Show and may potentially be sold!! I have never had an image in a show before, so it's pretty exciting. Thanks Erica for making it possible :) 

So many of these images turned out, and I just couldn't pass them up!

I mean look at this gorgeous girl...can you blame me?

This is one of my absolute favorites!!

and....this one! There is just something about this one that is so captivating!

I keep wondering what she was "looking at"....these images all look so real like something was really going on outside that makeshift window!! That is a true and talented model :) 

Then....on to the on-site location for more great images!

Jessie, helped make this image possible by throwing up the leaves in the background at the perfect time :) Great work girls...it only took us just a few shots to nail this one!! Well worth it.

We had time for an extra studio shoot with Erica, so we got a few great images of her rocking the 60s style!

 Love all the images we got of you Erica!! 

Last but certainly to least, we have the beautiful Rachel.

She was also a natural in front of the camera.

Her eyes are piercing green and again the makeup just makes her eyes even more fierce!

I'm loving this close up!

My favorite image of Rachel, by far!!

Again, such a talented model!! It seems like this moment is so real and she is watching something.

I love these totally urban shots that we captured on-site! Rachel looked awesome :)

What a good looking lady!!

Rachel as well, was a great model who just stepped up to help out! She was amazing. I had so much fun with all three of these girls. They were all totally & completely different, but they all did a great job. They exceeded my expectations and I had a blast!! I hope you enjoyed this shoot with a couple of modern beauts ;)
