The JOY of Merino Wool

Today (#6), my "joy" was coming home from photographing more yarn samples with this gorgeous hand dyed Merino Wool. I can't hardly wait to make this into some baby beanies!!

Day Of The Tree

I'm posting yesterday's photo of the day, which was Tree. This little lovely has been submitted to my iStock portfolio and is now one of my holiday card background options.

Curing the December Photography Blah's

My absolutely fabulous friend Alyse, who operates Photography By Alyse, posted a Photography challenge for December. Now, being so far away from her, I thought it might be something fun for me to do this month to feel like we're doing together. Plus, right now I'm working with a new Client, The Whole Ball of Yarn, and I'm pretty sure you don't want to see 1500 different yarn, knitting and crochet samples. So, to save you from that I'm going to be posting my daily challenges here and on Facebook. Here is the month's schedule...

I missed the first couple of days, so I'm picking up with yesterday's photo... Together.

ELITE Children's Magazine

We've been getting a LOT of work with Elite Children lately, but I've got to say the most fun shoot was when we were booked to do the fashion-zombie Halloween spread. Doing the hair, makeup and wardrobe for this, and getting to work with the girls was a blast! I've been anxiously sitting on these images for almost a month now, so I'm VERY excited to get to share them with you on this grey-foggy Halloween day. Happy Halloween everyone!

Elements Boutique

Here are some favorite shots of Miss Zoe modeling for Elements Boutique.

Lots of updates coming your way!

It's certainly been a busy few months over here! Let me start by posting some of the images from the amazing L'Attrait Salon. They were among the top 4 nominees for the Portland Fashion & Style Awards earlier this month. I got to work with them on a concept shoot for their poster. It was a little out of my normal editing zone but it was still a SUPER fun shoot! The model in the chair was supposed to be plastic and doll like, and of course I managed to snap a couple more model-esque shots for myself in there. Here were some of our favorites, starting with my personal favorite:

This one and the next were supposed to be the most plastic like on the model, and that is the actual hair stylist with her. 

I believe this is the one they used for the poster...

I've got TONS more shoots to share but some haven't been cleared through the magazines they are scheduled for print in, but count on lots of pictures in the next month or so.
