πŸŽ“ Senior Portraits πŸŽ“

It’s graduation season! What better way to celebrate than getting photos of your child all grown up and ready to conquer the world after high school? 😊I met Lucas during the Easter Production our church did this year (he was my trusty backstage crew member), and he is one awesome guy! The backdrop of a baseball field was a perfect setting for his photos since so many of his memories throughout the years revolved around the sport. Here’s just a few of my favs!

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, some of the photos included a certain college logo...trust me, fellow Sun Devils, it was a feet for me to come to grips with πŸ˜‰β€¦

Congratulations Lucas, class of 2019! Now go throw that cap in the air and conquer all that God has in store for you! πŸŽ“

I had the pleasure of capturing this wonderful family in front of a gorgeous desert backdrop! When I found this hidden gem, I knew it would be a winner for their photo location. Enjoy! ❀

A "Dog-Gone" Good Time!

I had the opportunity to photograph Rosie with her two precious doggies, just in time for her to send off to family and friends over this past Christmas season. Here are some of the photos that captured her love for her fur-friends.

Enjoy! :-)

Roosevelt Lake - Video Shoot

Welcome to Roosevelt Lake! β˜€ This past week I directed/produced a segment to a project I'm working on (which included a 3am wake-up call) out by the lake. It was wonderful to work with such a talented group of individuals. If you haven't been out to Roosevelt Lake, I highly suggest it – it's absolutely gorgeous out there!

Something that is so crucial for me on my video shoots is to work with people that are passionate about their individual gifts and talents. I had an incredible camera man who has an ability to bring out on camera the vision I have for a project. My lighting grip is just an all around amazing, whose presence just lights up any room he walks into -- literally! :-) The audio mixer communicated so well to let me know how everything is sounding (even if a loud motor kicks in during the middle of a take!). My grips were both ready to think ahead for me, and extend the helping hands wherever needed. The makeup artist not only looked out to make sure makeup and hair was fabulous, but she also has an eye to point out details during a take that may otherwise be missed. My talents were absolutely wonderful to work with, and had their lines memorized and ready to go!

The Lessons

It was a long day - a very long day! Waking up at 3am surprisingly came easy, and I can only thank God for that. As a director/producer for this project, the most difficult part was to be able to step back and breath, as I had to continuously be thinking ahead to the next location, talent, script, etc. Nevertheless, I have to say that directing and producing are my two favorite parts of the whole production process. Pulling in the best crew for the job and being able to execute the vision is so satisfying. Being able to work on projects like this really help me to learn from my mistakes, continue striving in areas I'm doing well in, and listen to the ideas and suggestions from others on my shoot.

Until next time, keep creating!
