Behind the Scenes for YMCA

Our prop stylist getting outfits ready 


 On November 15th (this past Friday) I had the opportunity to be the photographer on an incredibly fun photo shoot for the YMCA. These images are some behind the scenes photos from the day.

                                Look at all the shoe options!

These are a few finals from the post I made in October about the shoot I was working on. Hope everyone likes looking at them as much as I liked shooting them!

Awesome Hair & Beauty Shoot

Really fantastic ad shoot for a hair salon chain this week.  One of those great shoots where you are happy because you can put it in your own portfolio.  The models beautiful, the light beautiful, hair and makeup and styling outstanding. 25+ people on the shoot and it went really smoothly. We had a preproduction meeting a couple weeks ago and nailed down exactly what we wanted the image for them to be.  The models from Factor were amazing (thank you Darren Jay!) Comments I hear often are how great my "team" is.  That makes me really happy-- that we work together so well to produce results that people notice. We love what we do! Crew included Brian Eaves, Mark Doddato, Anastasia Page, James Foster and Rianne Farris.

Crew shot from Flashes of Hope Photoshoot!

What a great day!  We shot 8 families of children with cancer.  It was was a great day to make them feel good and have a fun experience and give them something that will last forever... I was really amazed how brave they and their families were and how they dealt with the circumstances.  Awesome crew! (Left to right- Dominic and Brandon Trumfio, Anastasia Page, Dorothy Rosen, Lisa Sciascia)

I definitely had to adjust my approach to create happiness and energy for each child and family.  I was up for the challenge and enjoyed every minute of it.

Free at the beach!

Reminiscing of great times in the summer, this shoot captures the feeling perfectly.  Free and fun at the beach.  I took a few girls out and just gave them a little direction and really worked on just capturing what happened.  It was me and my camera and 3 girls and some props.  We had great fun and captured some simple shots.  I ran into one of the girls this week and she asked if we could go out and do it again. I thought that was a true testament to a happy shoot!

Gaining Momentum

As summer draws to a close I’ve been reflecting on the recent months and look towards the following year with great anticipation.

                                   

  Saying goodbye to summer, I can't gain momentum in a sandal

Over the past few months “what am I doing for the future?” has been moving through my mind. This is not a question demanding an answer, it’s a question that demands action. Beginning in September I'll have two days a week that will remain ‘free’ for clients, an intern aiding me with a variety of tasks and a month of booked shoots.
