We went from 25 degrees of frigid picnic fun to 360 degrees of propped studio madness. Who else shows up with canoe paddles, 3-D glasses and a gravity-defying wall of newspaper? So many awesome ideas, so little time.

Huge congrats on the engagement! Thanks for bringing so much fun & creativity to the shoot! And thanks to Bethany for making yesterday happen… and, of course, Tom, for everything else

Had a great turnout, but the generator gave us major issues with the strobes. Fortunately, we didn’t permanently fry anything and were able to retreat back to the studio to finish off the evening with some more shots indoors.

And apparently, our vampires need to see a better dentist, since their fangs refused to stay in!

I think everybody still had a great time & it was great to meet some more of the local photogs.

A big thanks to our immortal models, Kelsey, Jen & Chantell.

Had a great afternoon downtown at the photo shoot organized for IKONIX Studio for us to demonstrate the great California Sunbounce & Sunswatter reflector & scrim and show how those products could turn harsh 12-noon sun into flattering portrait-quality light.

Had a nice group of local photogs show up to work with Jen, a great model, who handled the multi-angled photographic assault like a seasoned pro.

As always, lots of shots…  Here’s some of my faves from the afternoon
