Hurricane Bill – August 2009

27 08 2009

Boy oh boy… Bill was quite a storm.  I honestly have no words to describe just how great it was to stand on the beach and watch the waves pounding on the shore.

I love this time of year because the ocean is so much more exciting.  Besides just watching the waves, the local surfers are in their glory to finally have something worth riding.  Here are a few of the pictures that I took from this past weekend, although I have about 350 more images to edit that will be posted at a later date (sorry, moving this week, and haven’t had time to do much with my photos!).  I hope you enjoy them!

Boudoir Photoshoot – June 2009

7 08 2009

Since I am trying out ALL different types of photography to expand my knowledge, I did a fun boudoir photo shoot with one of my good friends.  She’s great because she’s always willing to be my model, plus she usually gets some nice shots of herself for personal use, so it works out perfectly!

We got together one night with a bottle of vino (to calm her nerves a little, LOL), hair done, makeup done, and outfits picked out.  We decided to research a few different boudoir photography websites to get some ideas as far as poses, props, etc.  We gathered our ideas, and just let it roll…

All I can say is that I could not believe how comfortable and relaxed we were doing this shoot (of course it helps when it’s friends and not complete strangers!).  Laura is a natural infront of the camera, and knows how to change up the poses without me having to stop shooting and re-pose her for every different shot.  When I got there, I think she had about 8 different outfits to use, meanwhile I think we wound up only doing one wardrobe change, and then of course the bubble bath shots!  Here are some of our favorite shots from the shoot.  Any feedback is always welcome!
