Photo-op!

A few nights ago I was invited to a photo-op with some awesome Denver talent. I had to drive to Castle Rock for the shoot, but it ended up being entirely worth it and I had SO MUCH fun soaking up photography life. I was invited by Brett Seeley and Don Hales. While they're a joy to hang around, they also surrounded us with awesome company, such as my close friend, Junichi with Pixel Art Photography, and one of my favorite models, Annelise. I shot all night long and laughed out loud. I even screamed once when I landed my lightning shots. =) Regardless, it was a blast and I will always be thankful for the "learning" escapades I encounter.

I shot some of the best shots in my port this day! That's how you kill it. ;)

LIGHTING it up.

You know, I've tried to get good shots of lightning in the past...I mean really tried. But I just never got anything that was crisp or worth showing people. I thought I knew what I needed to do to capture it, but last night, I finally got my shots!! So I can't really take credit for these because one of the best photographers I know, who happens to be an excellent friend of mine, coached me through this! I used to see his lightning shots and think he photoshopped them because I couldn't believe how amazingly REAL they were. But because I've learned from the best, I have the potential to get pretty good at what I do. That's my goal: to get pretty freaking good at what I do.

I owe Junichi from Pixel Art Photography a ton of props on these pictures, but in the future...the sky is all mine! =)

Melissa May Fashion Designer Shoot

This week I got to work with fashion designer Melissa May who designs gorgeous gowns and beautifully styled clothes! Caitlyn Canniff modeled her work and even though it rained almost the whole time and the mosquitoes were out and biting, I think we got some good shots. =)
