Feb Shoots

Here's a couple shoots I did in February....(most boudoir is private so only a few models are shown here)

Sarah booked a boudoir calendar session where she received 12 different looks, hair & make-up and a printed calendar.

Her boyfriends favorite team and birthday dessert.

This was for her Valentine's pic.

The Christmas month.

July~Red, White & Blue

Rachel booked a boudoir session that she wanted to do outdoors. She's brave and she did awesome! We borrowed a bike from some local bikers that were just "hanging out".

This was at the famous Maricopa Train.

Adorable!

Feb.26th~ My dear friend Melissa Wiehl and I came up with an idea of an "Artist's Happy Hour" for very passionate artists at any level and any type of art in their life. We held our first meetup this month and met some pretty awesome people. We had a guest speaker, Alnisia Cruz, a previous model agent and author from NYC. What a beautiful person she is and highly talented and very giving of information. It's always nice to surround yourself around people who share the same love of work that you do. Networking is VITAL to your success. You never know who you will meet and putting your name out there continuously will keep you fresh and up to speed with what's going on today. Take every opportunity to get out there and remember to take it SERIOUS. It was a nice gathering in our cabana and we will be hosting more of these soon. Stay tuned!

Valentine's Day Glam Event!

Feb 12th~We had a full house for this year's first ever Valentine's Day Glam Event. So many couples, moms, daughters, sisters & bestfriends. This was a day full of LOVE! We had an awesome hair and make-up crew Sacha doing hair and Laverne doing make-up. Everything went smoothly! Names were drawn for some great prizes. And you can't beat mimosas!
The ladies had a blast and I was able to see some old friends from high school! Some I hadn't seen since the day of graduation. Very cool!
Here's just a few:

Old Navy!

Feb 11th~ I had the chance to do a little photo booth and vendor table at Old Navy at the Promenade in Casa Grande. Thanks so much to my dear friend Susie Emerson! I met some Facebook friends that I had never met in person. Nice! Some of my very dear friends came by to visit also. We're thinking of doing a Mother's Day Glam Event there this May. Stay tuned!
Here's some shots from that day.

Aces & Angels Event in Dallas~

Feb. 2nd~ I had the awesome opportunity to shoot for Michael Eakman Entertainment again this year in support of the Wounded Warriors Project. The event was located in Dallas, Texas and hosted by Gene Simmons & Shannon Tweed. It was an incredible night! We walked along tons of NFL superstars including some Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Of course, we had the Playboy Angels in attendance and professional poker players such as Jamie Gold, and Phil Helmuth. There were entertainers such as Five for Fighting, The Grascals, Little Texas and Rival Suns. A few other red carpet arrivals included the voice of Family Guy and Randy Travis. BUT the biggest celebrities of all were of course all the Soldiers that attended! It was an amazing sight standing on that concert stage and seeing an ocean of camou's in front of me. They were definitely the stars for the night.
I love shooting red carpet arrivals. It's definitely a huge rush to see who makes it but I really love being among the other photogs and media. I always meet some amazing and very memorable people. I met a fellow Filipino CBS Correspondent from Washington. She was so nice! Now, if I can only find her on FB somewhere. :) I'm so glad to be a part of these wonderful fundraisers. Here's a couple shots from the night:

Style Image Studios 3 Year Anniversary Bash!

On January 22, we celebrated our 3 years on business by hosting a huge party for our clients in Ahwatukee. We had food, drinks, cake, raffles and of course a fashion show! I was amazed to see everything come together. We had 5 fashion designers and 26 models and the show went ridiculously smooth! I was so proud of all my models and of my fashion show coordinator, Adanari. She whipped everyone into shape and it was beautiful! I didn't shoot this evening but I had 3 local photographers, Eyeful Photography, JE Studios & Trudge Photography shoot for me. Here's some shots they captured....
Special thanks to EVERYONE involved in this show/event. It was beyond my wildest dreams and it was a FULL HOUSE! Love you all!
