Location Scouting

I have been keeping an eye out for different cool places around the valley for various shoots. I have always known about Downtown Mesa but never really ventured out there. Before Thanksgiving dinner I snuck out to wander around and see what I could come up with, and I was not disappointed! I can't wait to take some subjects there and take advantage of the bold colors {right up my alley} and unique architecture.

{Nikita} On the Town

Nikita was a wonderful model for this puparazzi shoot. With all the kids, other dogs and scary things other photographers had like a swarm of balloons, she remained poised and focused- such a good guard dog. 

These photos were shot with my new 70-200mm f2.8 IS lens in Downtown Gilbert... and of course they have my new logo.

 

 

Official Logo

It is finally here... My official logo curtsey of Adam Furtado. I love it!

Before & After

I am working on some editing from a shoot today with Nikita, and this photo in particular made a great before and after shot. 

These are coming out so great I can't wait to finish! Who needs food? And water?

Wide Angle Lens

I went on a hunt to try and find the wild horses of the Salt River, but had no luck finding them. At least I got to play with the beautiful landscape with my 10-24mm wide angle lens.

Chimi & Queso

Chimi and Queso are adopted sisters (no relation) that have little in common. Queso (black dog) is a happy go lucky puppy at heart that loves to run. Chimi (white dog) is the "big sister" - all business and interested in knowing everything going on. What they do share is a love of chasing each other in the park.

These were shot with my new 70-200mm f2.8 IS lens in Gilbert, AZ.

AZ Ghost Town

This weekend I went to an Arizona ghost town in order to get some western type shots. It was a great day and I found locations that I wasn't even expecting!
