I’ve really been in the Halloween spirit lately…..
I don’t know what it is.

This is only really my fourth Halloween, and my first being out of Utah, so I must say – I’m quite excited!
Parties, shows, & costumes galore….not to mention photo shoots!

Just a taste:

Many more to come.  Hooray creepiness!

The past few weeks/weekends have been full of weddings and other bookings, plans, riddles, and far too many ideas….plenty to keep my brain spinning.
I have some Hallowe’en, Art, & Collaborative shoots coming up – more on that.

For now?  Peep my red bushy do’ in these new Selfies.  It’s been awhile….

Seniors & students.
September is quite full of them.
The latest: Makena (freshman)

& Alex (senior)

Next two weeks: Weddings, Art projects, Bloody Benten, and Chainsaws. Hooray!

Joslyne is now officially one of my favorite girls to photograph…..and after only knowing/shooting her for 30-40 minutes!
She was a breath of fresh air – stunning features, gorgeous skin, well-kempt hair, lovely personality, uber-professional, and wonderfully aware of her face & body during the shoot.

You’ll be seeing a lot more of this girl…be sure of that.

{Monster Series: Part 2}

Model: Stesha M.
Hair/MU/Body Paint/Photo: Chelsea W.

The beast is here.
Mamiya RB67.
It will rip your face off and stick it on film.

I can’t wait.

It’s been quite the hectic week.
Tests, mothers & daughters, babies, engagements, sketches, lunch meetings, projects, hip-hop shows, printing, editing, paperworking, unpacking, model-finding,  wardrobe/prob hunting.
Craziness.
Nonsense.
I love every bit of it.

• Tawny & Kim

  Tawny is one of my favorite faces to shoot.  After losing my muse (and dearest friend) Andrea to the move to CA I was quite lost.  Tawny filled the position of “muse” ever so well…and now I shall lose her to UC Davis in September.  *sigh*  Such is life, I s’pose.
  She and her mother, Kim, did a fantastic job.  I had a blast shooting them.

• Babeh

• Keri & Matt
  I went to high school with Keri.  I have to admit, when it comes to high school friends…I haven’t bothered to keep in touch.  Keri and I have kept in contact a bit through the years, though, and I was extremely honored when she asked me to shoot her engagement photos – especially with her being in Las Vegas.  She & her fiance, Matt, traveled many hours & many miles to shoot with me, and I must say…I am absolutely in LOVE with the shots we got.  Nailed it, methinks.
  
  

  TODAY: My Mamiya RB67 comes!
  This weekend: More monsters (Mothman, to be exact).
  Next – a big, messy, dark, & sexy project.

  Time to get my head on straight.

Shoots like this make me love Senior portraits….

Today’s session with Tara was messy, silly, and an all-around blast!  Hands-down, one of my favorites thus far.

Is there a “funnest couple” award?  Because I’m pretty sure these two would win….
