I could not resist taking this picture with my iPhone. I saw her sparkling down the stairs at the West 4th Street station running for the local F/V train. Then blinded me as she sat across from the way with her reflective crystal ball “leggings“? Seriously though, what makes a person wear something like this? Oh, don’t forget that Louis bag to complete the look! Lol! 
Despite yesterday’s HORRIBLE weather, Corey “Hollywood”, his sister, and his boy Derek trooped from Harlem to Brooklyn, with the trains all screwed up as usual on the weekends. What else is new? Lol. I have to give them credit for still managing to get here on time!
Anyway, we got some good shots, and it was the first time using some new items that I purchased, and I must say I’m very happy, anddddd there will be no more use of white backgrounds unless it absolutely calls for it. “Fashion Gray” is the shiznit! I should have purchased it sooner 
Peace!

A few more after the jump.
I can’t believe she’s 4 already…geez. Shot from the quick and fun photo shoot with daddy in the studio!!
The BIG Girl
As you all know, I’m passionate about photography, and my recent addiction, well several months really, have been weddings. Having done four by myself, I really have been into the art of wedding photography as I would like to be really good at it, and master various techniques. From eyeballing shows such as Platinum Weddings and My Fair Wedding with David Tutera, your boy is hooked! I need the know-how, the gear, the time, and patience, but I’m ready and willing!
Some Reading Material I picked up while hanging out in B&N
Can you believe it’s March 1st already?? Weren’t we just ringing in the new year? Geez. Times flies nor does it wait for anyone.
So I’ve been a bit busy, unfortunately it hasn’t been photography-related. Just busy with work, errands and life in general. But the good news is that I have some shoots lined up this month, so expect to see some things soon! (as long as people don’t postpone/cancel). ‘Cuz Mike doesn’t like that!
DAMN LIFE IS HECTIC! CAN I GET A MINUTE TO BREATHE?!?!?!?!

Okay, that’s all…lol

PEACE!
Doing her thing for Garnier at the Lucky Shops Event 2009!! (I wasn't there, but she shared this with me).
YEAH! I’m drugged and (almost) ready to enjoy this Superbowl. Unfortunately drugs and liquor/beer don’t mix, so I’ll stick to juice/water/soda. I’m in favor of the Colts, but I respect the Saints, so if either team wins, I’ll be happy. Who Dat?!?
P.S. I would still kill to be on the field wearing the red Canon vest indicating that I’m one of many photographers!
As I muster up some energy while being under the weather, survey says….She is!
Name: Charlyn aka LTA aka Blasian and probably a bunch of other nicknames her friends have for her…lol. Here’s a shoot I took from Boomn’s shoot because I thought it was cute, like an ad campaign or something.

**excuse the delayed post. Was busy, then to make matters worse, I got sick, and I’m still sick. Actually able to sit in front of a monitor for more than 5 minutes to edit photos.

Finally…Mr. Boomn Productionz, producer extraordinaire finally finds time to shoot with me before he drops his next mixtape. Good times, good peoples, and pretty girls.
He Came Up, Put His Life On The Line....
Your Producer's Favorite Producer
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah (Young Jeezy voice).
Unfortunately I’m sick as sh!t. Talk about bad timing…geez. But I’m alive and thankful for all things and blessings received.
You might see a familiar face, click on the image below. YESSSIR!!
Where Are They Now? Christine Juarbe.
If you can recall, I did a shoot with Ms. Juarbe back in October 2009, with hair & makeup done by Melinda Martinez, and the Vimeo video footage captured and edited by Lexi Ritsch.

As things are picking up in 2010, I linked up with Melinda Martinez, and another makeup artist Jacqueline Sheperd, to shoot some “glamour” shots with Jaycie Doltman. A lil TFCD as some would call it. It was a fun shoot, good times, good music, job well done ladies! Hair & makeup – Fierce! Lol

Reminds me of the "Got Milk" ads, just minus the milkstache
So, if you don’t know who he is, you’ve either been under a rock, or in a deep deep hole somewhere lol. He’s the singer of the hit record “Whatcha Say” and I was able to meet up with him as the folks from New Music Director were filming an interview and a couple of radio drops.
Pretty cool to see how things look behind the scenes for TV/media production. Shout out to Melinda, Tony, and the others that were present!
Peace.

So I came up with the idea on Wednesday to post my top/favorite 9 shots of 2009. I’ve done a lot of shoots, and it’s only right that I choose and display my favorites. Some tough choices because I have so many that I like, but ere they are, in no particular order:
Kim
Nevaeh Jeans Company
Christine Juarbe
See who else is on this little list after the jump!!
Another friend of mine who wanted to shoot (in general) for a long time. I got the call last week, and the shoot was slated for today….last day of 2009. Told her she had to make it count!! She had a couple of outfits, and her makeup was done by one of the homies from BKBOYEEZ (what up Fabid!). He put in work on the makeup…damn near flawless…wow!
Here’s one of the photos Ms. Irons immediately wanted to post on her Facebook page as a default pic. I think it’s pretty dope! She definitely nailed several shots. More to come this weekend. Happy New Year all!!
