Studio Space - I move in May 1st

I'm moving into a studio space on May 1st. I will be in the other 1/2 of Stage 28 in Fayetteville. I am sharing the studio space with Chris Bray (www.zenandjuice.com), Jay, and Stone Ridge Photography (www.stoneridgephotographers.com) My main focus will be boudoir/glamour/nudes/lingerie work. I am booking weddings through Stone Ridge Photography, so if you need me to shoot your wedding, contact Mark or Dana at Stone Ridge. You may also see me 2nd shooting at weddings for Kimberlea Bass or David Yerby.

Photo of Michelle on the motorcyle.

Michelle modeled for my computers & art class. I am making a poster that says "Nobody rides for free" -- I wanted a fun poster that had a motorcyle and a gorgeous girl on the bike. I think Michelle is so hot and made the photo that much better!

I really like this one of Dustin on his motorcyle. I like the light from the window shining behind his head.

Dustin from Brainstorm Tattoos on his motorcycle. He saved the day by bringing out his motorcycle for me to photograph. I was going to use Marty's chopper but unfortunately the battery was dead.

Michelle posing with the glittery star that is engraved in the floor.

3D design class

So I had to make a sculpture using natural items and changing the texture of something else. I chose the staircase to Gibson Annex. Here are 2 photos of what the outcome was!

Album Designs

Album designs! I've been working on an album design for another photographer - Lori. I've also worked on an album design for one of my brides that got married in Cozumel. I love to make albums! If you're interested in an album, let me know! I also design for other photographers. If you have your photos and want me to design your album - I just need the permission of your photographer to make it for you!

New pics of myself - working....

I have a few new photos of myself working. Photos are done by Sam Pervis of Siloam Springs. He took a nice "bio" photo that I will use on my bio page once my new website is launched. I'm so excited about my new website. It's going to be so magnificently girly - I can't wait! I love everything girly!! New website coming soon, new bio photo and tons of new wedding photos to put on the web!

Coming soon!!!

My 32nd year on this earth!

Oh my Doug is a sweet sweet man! I was ill last week and had to cancel my birthday party and I was bummed out. I told Doug that all I really wanted was cake and to hang out with friends. Well.....he called all of my friends and family and invited them to the karate place, where I teach belly dance, and they all came to surprise me for my birthday! He had a cake with a belly dancer on it, chips and drinks. I was so surprised. He is so thoughtful! I had a good time hanging out with my friends and chit chatting.

Wedding Edits

One of my bride's decided on which photos she wanted me to work on for her album. As I've been going through them all....I decided to post a few of the photos from her wedding that I remembered liking when I took them! The wedding was at St. Catherine's Bell Gable Chapel in Fayetteville. The reception was Teatro Scarpino's off of Dickson Street.
Enjoy!

Congrats to Melissa & Mario!

I photographed a neat wedding yesterday - St. Patrick's Day! Melissa and Mario exchanged wedding vows and will have a PARTY on the Cinco de Mayo! I can't wait to go to that party! Mario had the the coolest suit on ever and the above photo is a detail of what he was wearing. I will post more photos this week.

China!

Did someone say China? So there's this possibilitiy that I may be going to China to belly dance. My friend is negotiating the trip but it will be an all expense paid trip. I will be going with another dancer. I just gave my friend my DVD reel. I know he has been in communication with the guy in China and they are VERY interested. This would mean going blonde. They want a blonde American.....

Blonde Lena dancing on the great wall of China! LOL!
