Spring for Charity 2010

Last week we completed our first two days of this amazing charity event and want to send a HUGE thank you to all the families involved!!!  We were able to raise $500 for New Covenant Lutheran Church and Preschool.  It is especially humbling during these “hard economic times” (wow, I hate using that cliche but honestly, it is the only way to say it), that we had so many people jump on board to support a local school and church to help benefit the children of our community.

The event itself is always a blast!  I can’t get enough of watching the kids react to these baby chicks.  Their reactions are so real and unscripted and just too cute!  A big thank you to Jennifer Garbett, my amazing friend and fellow photographer that teams up to make this event possible, and my mom and sister that help pull off the dirty (yes, dirty - we’re talking toddlers and baby chicks here) work to make this event successful!

Here’s a sneak peak of some of the children that participated.  To view all of the images, click here and use the password 15080.

She seriously was sooooo calm and somehow transferred that energy to the little chick.  It sat there on her hand for several minutes!  I was amazed at how gentle she was!!!

And then you photograph the boys… and well, calm, gentle, and boys just don’t usually go together. He actually was quite careful… I promise no chicks were hurt during these photo sessions… but I got a kick out of the way boys handled the chicks and the way the girls did…

Jennifer Garbett — Oh my goodness, the cuteness is out of control. So many of these are my favorites! I'm excited to continue to add to our selection of great images to market with in the future. Great job...I can't wait to hear the reaction from all the parents.   ( March 12, 2010 @ 12:51 am )

Gina Schroeder Creations

For those of you who follow this blog, I’m sure you have heard this name quite a few times… but I just had to add a separate post to give a shout out to the super-talented artist, Gina Schroeder!!!!

Gina worked many many hours helping us on a promo shoot a few weeks back and I just had to share a few of the gorgeous models.  Granted, they are naturally beautiful, but Gina just knows how to work her magic to really make everyone’s best features just jump out.

And of course, a VERY big thank you to our stunning models, Briana, Tina, and Kenzie… you guys ROCK!!!!

(Jordan Cook (jordanmcclane@gmail.com) did a fabulous job on the hair, dresses are all from Brides by Demetrios and the location is the Gainey Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale.  More images from this shoot soon…)

Jen — THIS IS SO COOL! I know the Royal Palms is such a unique resort and it is a huge honor to get to be their chosen photographer for this. Of course I think you will be an amazing choice for this since your boudoir work is so stylish, tasteful and has amazing/unique moody light! Congrats on this!   ( February 22, 2010 @ 9:49 pm )
