Wow! It’s been a while since I’ve Blogged. Well no time like the present, right?

I recently finished shooting the Skirt Sport Fall 2012 catalog. That’s not a typo, it really is for 2012, a year out. In the clothing industry samples arrive from the manufacturer but aren’t necessarily in the correct fabric or color so there is a lot of graphic design and Photoshop work to be done in post for the catalog. The actual product will arrive and be available well into next year. So I have to keep the work private until the catalog has been finalized and produced. Well, the catalog is now in the hands of vendors and reps so I can release the images. 

This year Skirt Sports stepped up the catalog a big notch! Thanks to a wonderful and creative team we assembled the best catalog and images to date. We had some of Boulder’s finest Athletes to model for us. A Big Thanks to Nicole DeBoom, owner and creator or Skirt Sports, Leanne Hand, their new Marketing Guru and of course my rockstar artistic director Chris Grack-Wilson! Please check them out on the web to see the final product and colors. Yes, their clothing costs a little more but they make the most developed / tested and best quality product on the market. www.SkirtSports.com

Happy Holidays!

I had the opportunity to shoot some high end equipment from Simply Sound. The first installment is their sub woofer.

I am super pumped about my latest work with Skirt Sports! Nicole DeBoom and her team are stepping it up on so many fronts. The first of the year saw Skirt Sports moving into their new, much larger facility. It is awesome! In their new building we had a perfect space to work with to create a studio. It is a large open space with a kitchenette, restrooms, shower, equipment storage and the ideal rectangular shape. The studio is designed for product photography and a new piece for the both of us, video… another example of ‘stepping it up’. Recently the whole team assembled, brainstormed and created the video element. To better illustrate the features of their clothing we’ve published our first product videos on their site.

Nicole DeBoom - A turbo-charged, high energy, fun-loving leader

Ever poke around on the Internet or through your photos on your hard drive and wonder "How did I get here"? Of course you do, it's a rhetorical question. My youngest turns 6 soon and I was going through some photos of him and came across a Portrait shoot I did with one of his teachers, Ms. Ajanta. What a beautiful woman and soul!

Wow! It's March already and I haven't posted a single photo in 2010. Slackin'! Well it has nothing to do with my not having taken any photos. I have been busy with some fun gigs. First off I had the chance to shoot with Jessica, a Marine Lt. currently serving our country in Afghanistan. She was home on leave and on a very cold December morning in Colorado we shot at the Morrone Ranch. Jess is such a joy to work with. Second is a model you should recognize from prior projects, Ashley. Ashley is a willing soul that has fun shooting just about anything I dream up. She is one tough and awesome girl! Thanks to both Jessica and Ashley! I appreciate both of you!

Ashley & I worked together earlier this year and that went well enough that we decided to work together again. I had this picture in my head that Ashley would look good in a man's suit. Although she is a genuine beauty she is a confessed Tomboy. She & I work out at the same place doing Muay Thai Kickboxing and I can tell you she is one tough woman. Did I mention she also tends bar at a biker bar? And... No. It's not a real cover

Recently I did a photo shoot with Fitness Model Morgan Tran & Master H.D. Tran for Dara Gear, a Muay Thai & Fitness Clothing Line. Bridget Nannen is Dara Gear and also served as Artistic Director for the shoot. Thanks a ton Bridget, You Rock! John Davie of Vivid Design did the design and layout of the catalogue. Check out his site Modus Mind Body. It's always a treat to be a part of a team like this and to see such a great end result from several top professionals. I know they certainly made my photography better. Thanks to you all.

For my daughter's Birthday we hosted a little fashion show party at my Boulder, CO studio. We had a chocolate fountain, finger sandwiches and sparkling apple cider in real wine glasses. All the girls brought their favorite outfits and strutted their stuff to the sounds of Miley Cyrus & Kidz Bop. The little buddy loves the studio too, it gives him a chance to break dance.

I've been working with Morgan on her portfolio and I think we're getting used to each other and coming up with some good stuff...

Morgan Tran is a Fitness Model from Boulder, CO. Last week we did a couple of shoots in order to update her portfolio. I did a mountain bike ride around the Boulder Reservoir to get a location idea. The spillway was perfect!
