2009 Laughs Unlimited-6623topaz

I did a fun photoshoot in Old Town Sacramento a few weeks ago in a place called “Laughs Unlimited”.  It’s a comedy club and there were some models there to audition for a new fashion designer who will be having a fashion show in Sacramento next month.  It was a lot of fun and I was able to work with some of the models I had worked with before, plus some brand new ones.

Here’s what I mean about it being fun.  The club let the models climb up on the bar for a few cool shots.  In fact, we pretty much had free reign of the place until it got close to time for them to open the club.  Then we moved over to the delta and got some more shots there.

These are a few of my favorite shots from the shoot.

And below, is one of my favorite models (I’ve worked with her a couple of times.)  She s a real pro and I wish her the best of luck in her modeling career.

Here’s a few more from the Trash the Dress in Bridgeport, CA.20090702-empire-mine-05-09-277-2__-3pssimple

I’m trying out a few new filters and some HDR to see if I can bring out some details and add some pizazz.  If you look close you can see a couple of brides and a couple of photographers.

Such a beauty…even when she’s wet.

I love doing a “Trash the Dress” Photo shoot.  In this case we had several models dressed in wedding dresses and formal attire to shoot.

Just before I got in the water with the rest of the photogs, I did thing about the thousands of dollars worth of equipment that hung around our necks.  But, then I shrugged, slapped on my most expensive lens and waded in for the fun.

…since I last posted? Wow, I’m bad.

I have been busy.  My latest photo shoot was with my niece for her senior pics.  I think they turned out rather well, but it’s hard to take a bad pic of her. The above headshot is my fav because it’s simple and fresh. She has beautiful green eyes and wonderful freckles.  She is a doll.

Here’s a little different style, which I still like, but it kinda makes me want to turn my head sideways to look at her. She is still a beautiful girl.

And finally, I had her work with a parasol on some of the shots, and I think this one came out well. The red works quite well with her eyes.

Okay, one more of her just being goofy.

Congratulations, Carley. I know you will succeed at whatever you do.
