Best of Both Worlds
Oak Run makes the perfect retreat for a hardworking executive like Carla. Kelly and Carla enjoy the peace and quiet of their home in the hills when they aren’t jetting around the country. Carla will be featured in Texas Techsan Magazine. Texas Tech is her and Kelly’s alma mater. Here’s a sneak peak of our shoot yesterday evening. What a gorgeous view of Mt. Lassen and the foothills. I had a ton of fun creating images that tell their story of creating a lifestyle where they can live in the beauty of Northern California and work in the High Tech industry.
APEX Technology Management

Mike and I had the distinct pleasure of creating portraits for Sarah. This commercial style shoot was designed to create images for brochures and other communication media. We were matching the Tozer Seminary colors of blues and greens used in their website. You can visit their website at www.simpsonu.edu Tozer tab. The sunny, sincere images are meant to be warm and inviting. We had such a great time around the Simpson University Campus. I had told Mike I only wanted to do 2 locations but ended up using all 4 that I had scouted the day before. We had such a fun loving and helpful subject that I didn’t want our session to end. Sarah is so beautiful that I posted these right away with only minimal vignette and white balance editing. These light patterns were achieved using natural light and a reflector. Mike chose to use white, silver and gold reflectors on this one shoot however not all in one image. Other images were created using a shoot through umbrella with flash and a reflector for fill.

The Painter
Inspired by The Dancing Butler by Jack Vettriano I made this particular piece. One day I want to photograph the same image below on the beach. Anyone want to go? It will have to be a rainy blustery day with the sun peaking through on the east coast. I can see there may be some problems with this for those who want to go with me. Oh Well. See my color “painted” version of The Painter – You Paint My World.
