I'm not someone who wins things. For real. I spent most of my childhood licking stamps and submitting myself to random competitions. The only thing I ever won was a year supply of Herbal Essence hair products. Sounds cool, you may say? Well, yeah, until you realize it makes your hair greasier than Pauly D's pillow. Anyway, I stray from my point. I had a nice surprise in my inbox after lunch today saying that my photos had been chosen in the 48-hour raw photo contest by Totally Rad Actions! They are releasing their brand spankin' new presets for Lightroom tomorrow and were looking for raw photos to show off their new magic. Out of 135 people who submitted, three of my favorite images were chosen! Check out the images below (with a few of my favorite presets in action) and check out the new actions here.
Seriously, I'm pumped!!

February is a new month for me. A month to stretch myself as an artist. Do something different. Shoot for myself and be myself.
As many of you know (and have previously seen on my blog), experimental shoots usually have something to do with my cousin Ann. I don't know what I would do without her. She listens to me babble about different ideas and her answer is always the same, "of course." This time was no different. I said I have ALWAYS wanted to do a photoshoot in a parking garage at sunset and Ann's answer was, "of course." So here you have it. A little something different from my normal style and I am kind of digging it. Oh and did I mention my cousin just launched her new etsy shop?? She was kind enough to preview some up and coming headbands in our shoot.










This is for all of you who say I don't show my face enough on this blog. I can't help it, it makes me feel naked to stare at a pic of me on my blog!! This was taken by none other than my cousin.

Pretty sure I park right there everyday! If you ever need another person to add to your random shoots, I'm all over it!

I had the pleasure of working with the talented Dusty Gilbert from skirt! Houston and Taft McWhorter, owner of the McWhorter Gallery on this hilarious shoot. Our goal was to show the many different roles that Taft plays in his life, making him a superhero of sorts. And it is called skirt, so obviously we made him dress the part. Check out the article here.

Today was the BIG day!
Meet. the artisann. It is the brainchild and hard work of my super-talented cousin Ann (who you may remember from past posts, she also makes an excellent model). She just opened her own etsy store with some of her seriously cool and unique hair accessories. I will also admit that I helped with photographing the first round of headbands, it was so much fun!
So run over here www.etsy.com/shop/artisann and check it out!!

Here are a couple of the pieces!!

This is the first of several posts about my beautiful couple, Erum and Aman. I was given the amazing opportunity a couple weeks ago to shoot this couple's wedding celebrations. Their families were so great to me and Aman kept me laughing the entire weekend. This post is devoted to their portrait session that was grabbed the morning before their religious ceremony, the Nikkah. As you can see, Erum is incredibly beautiful and Aman was not so bad himself. Can you tell these two are in love??
