Hello everyone...
Sorry haven't posted in a while.. been crazy busy.. yes that is good, but doing some catching up in between as well.  Anyways, the good news is that my new studio is going through construction right now.  I will try to post some phone snapshots.  It's studio size, but good things come in small packages and I am excited. As some of you may know a couple of years back our home and business went down during the Wild Fires.  I actually took some amazing after the fire shots with a borrowed camera and somehow they went poof during our move back.  I wanted to post some but somehow they got lost in the loop.  I can say amazing now cause we had time to heal but some beautiful things can come up from the ashes, so I thank God for that.  Anyhow that was also one of the stepping stones that really got me to push my little Photography business, Besides everything else, I lost all my photo memories from my daughters childhood, my childhood, family and wedding pictures.  We may not realize it but photos show history of our lives, a documentation of our story there is a real importance to documenting these wonderful stories so we can pass them on to the next generation and somehow I wanted to become part of sharing that experience with others in documenting there lives, so here I am Shooting pictures of People, Work, Play, Weddings, Movies....to help build memories.  Anyhow just got done shooting some portraits, updating some headshots as well as for background performers.  For those of you who don't know what that is, It is those Background actors you see walking behind the Principal Talent on most TV Film and Commercials, yes... there is such a thing.  It's actually pretty cool some background casting companies require a certain photo format for there data base.. so you can ask them what they require and go from there.  Background is one of those places you can learn more about what goes on in the movies and always wanted to know, it's in introduction to getting your feet wet to see if you can handle up to 14 hours on set. Yes it's not all glamor, but actual work.  Besides Photography I also do Acting for Training Videos, Commercials, TV, Indie films and Print work.   They also have Stand-ins, doubles and stunt doubles, etc.  Pretty cool.  If this is something you would like to know a bit about, please feel free to email me and I will see if I can lead you in that right direction.  I guess you can tweet me too, please be patient with me as I'm a newbee in the tweetie realm, but I'm getting there. Well until next time... Will touch base.  I just posted some snap pixs of the studio under construction.   Have a Beautiful rest of the week !

Here is a Modeling Headshot I took adding a little more warmth lighting to her face, giving a little more of a dramatic look.
