Okay– here are a couple more rough edits from today. These two pics don’t really pair well together from a design standpoint, but I felt bad posting a pic of one model and not the others. All three of you were fantastic!

Ironically on the second nicest day of the year (yesterday was the nicest– the rain has finally stopped!) I was shooting in a studio. But what an awesome photo shoot! Three models!

This image is just a quick sample from the shoot– not everything was shot on white seamless — I just needed a landscape format photo that would be quick to edit and post before falling asleep exhausted from the shoot.

Lil’ urban fashion photography here. I love shooting photos outdoors, especially fashion.

I’ve always liked the REM Pop Song 89 lyric, “Should we talk about the weather? (Hi…hi, hi) Should we talk about the government?…”

Let’s start with the weather. Damn it’s been a WET spring in western Oregon. It has rained for the last couple of weeks– just about daily. And cold, 50-degree rain. The mercury hit 64 today and it felt balmy. Until it began raining again.

As for the government, well, The Daily Show and Colbert are on a hiatus so I’m clueless right now! All I know is we’re still in TWO wars and we still don’t have enough money for schools and domestic necessities. * sigh *

Some new fashion photography shot today. It was a test shoot with stylist Elizabeth Gilson. She was fabulous to work with! Mother Nature, on the other hand, was disruptive with rain showers off and on throughout the day.

I’ve also been working feverishly behind the scenes on SEO for my web presence. Wordpress is amazing in terms of it’s ability to catch the eye of search engines like Google. Stay tuned for upcoming SEO Wordpress tips.
