Toast and Jam had an end of the season party last night and they asked me to photograph it for them. Mary Nisi, the owner of Toast and Jam, is the coolest. The party was a lot of fun and I got to see some friends in the biz.
Entering the party zone! Thank God, because it was FREEZING out!
Mary was showing me the 'J' headphones. Mary, were you already drunk at this point?!? Just kidding.
The awesome-ness that is Becky Hill and the lovely Briana Merrill of Levy
The bartenders. Liz brought her sister and her sisters roommate.
Madeline and Dustin from Toast and Jam....tearing it up.
Becky Hills boyfriend Dave. Dave is happy. Dave is too happy.
The lovely mess, Dawn Roscoe. HA. Dawn is also one of my second shooters. She rocks.
Nancy...this shot is too much. I stole Marys cup for a quick shot. By the way, Nancy has two sites. She is fancy like that. Click Here for her and Davids wedding work.
I had the pleasure of working with the lovely, fun and curly...Ashley Dickey this week! Ashley is a model with Elite and I have photographed her a few times in the past. She is the sweetest. Ashley brought two of her friends in the agency and we had a blast shooting at Lois's place.
Ashley... This one reminds me of an old school 'art school' shot. I dont even know what means really! Ha.
Pippi Dickey.
She's crazy for copper.
Lindsay...
LOVE this one.
Lois...
LOVEEEEEEE!
And the three amigos.
Thanks to Alice Salazar and Nika Vaughan for hair and makeup!
I will be shooting Kristine and Adams wedding this summer but I went to Los Angeles to do their engagement session. I am jealous of the weather out there. I was heading home on Friday in November and it was supposed to be 90 degrees there!! WHAT!
Adam and Kristine chose to take me to the La Brea Tar Pits near the museums in LA. We had to shoot fast because they both had to get back to work in a hurry! Kristine is a divorce lawyer which I thought was pretty hilarious. Adam is an assistant writer on 'Til Death with Brad Garrett. This happened the day before our shoot!
Needless to say...it was a long night at the office for Adam.
Breaking the rules of photography school. Yes, I realize that a tree should not be coming out of someone's head....but breaking the rules are fun. Here is a shot to prove we were in CA! Palm trees.
We found some great textures!
And you can see the 'Hills' behind them. Thank GOD you cant see Heidi and Spencer. Could they be more annoying?!?!
This mural needs to be in Chicago! I love it.
Is this a gopher or a bear!?!? Seriously, I am still not sure?!!
I love this one.
We took a few shots for the paper and this was our 'what if this was in the paper' shot.
I shot Kate and Kyles wedding last November. This was kind of their anniversary/trash the dress/just for fun session! Kyle did not have a suit but Kate put the dress on at the end of the shoot and I am SO glad she did!! Thanks for having me come to Arizona to photograph you both.
I would love to know what you think of this image. Is it TOO photoshopped? I kind of love this image.
We had fun just walking the streets of Jerome, Arizona.
These stickers are pretty fun.
We went to this really cool place in the mountains and took even more photos!
I LOVE this one!!
Love this one too!
Pedro the donkey!
Then we headed to the desert just outside of Phoenix.
I was DYING to shoot here. It was so much fun.
A lady walked by and told us we should be careful with all of the rattlesnakes out there. I really wish she would have kept that to herself. Ha!
Kate changed and we finished up the shoot with some really cool dress shots!
How cute is Kate?!? =)
You go, Kate! She was up for laying in the dirt and you know I was up for shooting it!
We drove around for an hour looking for this spot. We ended up shooting for about 3 hours! It was totally worth it. I had a blast. Thanks Kate and Kyle!!!!
The weather was crazy on my trip to Arizona and California. It was a great trip and really cool to be able to photograph two of my clients while I was out there. I will be posting those next!
This is what the view looked like from my room in Jerome, AZ!
You know I booked my room because of this hilarious painting. I love the one on the far right giving us a senior picture pose!
