California Photoshoot Santa Barbara

Perhaps I've been bitten by a California bug! The photos from San Diego were phenomenal and I was so pleased and energized. I had an opportunity to stay at an estate in Santa Barbara. The house and private beach were ideal for more amazing photos.

Special thanks to Bruce McFadden for opening his home to me. We had such a fun weekend!

California Photoshoot San Diego

After spending 3 weeks working hard non-stop in Chicago I was jetting off to California. I had a photoshoot for VegasVixxens. We are collaborating on a few projects and collecting fresh photos. These came from 3 days of shooting and you'll see we got a ton of great shots. Sometimes magic happens. These are just a portion of what we were able to get. Loving so many is truly a testament to a quality collaboration.

Going through the photoshoot process is not easy. First it is grooming, workouts and diet. Trying to look your best is a lot of work. I have some minimal retouching but I never want to produce an image that I feel is a lie. I feel most happy when I know these are me. Certainly the best of me, but not far from reality.

I was terribly excited to shoot at the beach. It is not something that I can do everyday being in Las Vegas. The beach is so challenging especially without a crew to hold lights and reflectors.

While being in San Diego we took the opportunity to shoot fashion at Balboa Park. I know I have to return here with all of the fascinating backdrops for photoshoots. Every time we turned a corner there was something exciting to shoot.

Next we shot Boudoir and portraits.

Las Vegas Weekly 15th Anniversary Party

I was very lucky to be able to attend the Las Vegas Weekly's 15th Anniversary Party.  I was treated to VIP status and got to walk the red carpet. I was able to meet many amazing performers and enjoy the great venue. The Tropicana has really upgraded and renovated to make it a great place for the event. I had a lot of fun watching the performances and making memories with some of my close friends.

I  attended with my good friend Emily Jeffery

Taking photos while we waited for doors to open.

Updating my portfolio- again!!! Lingerie and Headshots

It's not a big secret I'm much thinner these days. I have been up in the gym working on my fitness and tracking calories like a Nazi with myfitnesspal. If you follow me on twitter or facebook you will see that I'm at the gym daily (often twice) working hard to get my body to my goals.  I had to update my portfolio yet AGAIN because so many of my shots really didn't reflect my current body.

This shoot was so amazingly productive. So many usable shots I had wanted 25-30 of them but had to pair that way way down to a reasonable number. My photographer Tristian Warsito and I really work well together and he really put in the time to help me get all I needed.

I feel really proud of these shots and I hope others appreciate them as I do.

Cat boots!! Smiling pic's seem to be most loved.

I love my face in this one.

The smiling picture has been most "liked" so I think it will be my working headshot. 

I'd love to hear your opinions- let me know your comments!

Vegas Vixxens October Pumpkin Patch Shoot

For October I was invited to shoot at the pumpkin patch for some fun photos for fall. I was with Mereika a super sweet and fun girl pictured below. We were a bit silly and had a ton of fun shooting together.  I hadn't really planned on shooting at the pumpkin patch so I ended up cutting a white t-shirt to have something to wear for the pumpkin patch. 

 I had my favorite "cat boots" like the commercial "oh I like your boots", "these aren't my boots these are my cats" and a cool head wrap that {call me crazy} I really loved. I was into the juxtaposition between my cut up shirt and the bling bling. Maybe nobody would appreciate it like me but I was into it. I felt like every shot I took there was a winner but I still had to select a few that were best for my portfolio.  I took a series of seven shots (two below) seated with different body positions and it was like bam bam bam killin' this modeling business. 

It was also very warm so we were very overdressed in our winter-ish hats and my feet were very toasty. I was shooting once again with Tristan Warsito.  

I'd love to hear your opinions- let me know your comments!
