I went up to the Jackson Rancheria last week. Since California has been having so many fires.. it made for a perfect shot with the added smoke.
And I also met this kitty outside my grandmother's home in Ione.
This here kitty... lives by no one else's rules.. but his own.
He just laid there and posed for me on the no parking space. What a little ham =)
A few days ago I did a model call in Tracy via myspace because I had this horrible urge to shoot. I got a response from Brooke and Dawn and showed up at Brooke's old Victorian apartment to set up. The feel of the house gave a nice background for the photos. I think they turned out rather nicely. Too bad they were hell to shoot, considering the model had about 7 friends come over during the whole shoot. And now - I have nothing against anyone that smokes pot. But... I really wish when I'm shooting a girl with the apartment door open, they wouldn't start rolling joints talking about how using a mirror makes rolling joints so much easier.
Some candids from shooting Brooke...
And here is my favorite from her set :
And my favorite of Dawn <3
Dawn had never modeled before and was a personal friend of mine. She was so nervous - but I love this shot of her.
Last night I had a client shoot with Lizz. I gotta say she is by far one of my favorite models I have ever worked with. Her photos are definitely some of my proudest work =) All shot in my home studio!
