First, be prepared for the unexpected. Pros are able to get the job done with what they have and what they know…and are able to roll with the punches.

And, speedlights work in a pinch. :)

Here is the podcast…

Or you can download the episode here.

And here are the pictures. :)

It’s like fireworks. :)

She is someone I REALLY look forward to shooting with…and can’t get enough of…but our shoots last like 5 minutes because we get the shot so quickly.

Well, 5 minutes is a little bit of an exaggeration. But it’s amazing how well we work together. She is amazing.

Our shoots are also pretty impromptu…so we met up night last November for a quick fashion shoot…and got some amazing shots. As always, I came with all of my gear in tow…and only used ONE piece of lighting gear: my newly acquired ring flash.

At the time, I hadn’t had the opportunity to use it, so I was pretty excited to test it out; not only as a ring flash, but also as another off-camera strobe. I was impressed with it’s versatility as well as the effects it could create. It instantly opened up a whole new realm of thinking, lighting, and scene creating.

The majority of these shots were taken with the ringflash mounted high camera right…there is one shot I used on camera…but I really started digging the look…and started playing with it a little more in these last several months. I’m still excited to see what I can do with it. :)

Candace works at Hooters of Mission Valley…and is seriously one of my favorite people in the ENTIRE world…even though she has the WORST luck with her phone…and because of that, is never able to text or call me back.

But it’s all good. :)

When we shot her Hooters Submission pictures back in February, it was gloomy and gray out…so we made do with shooting inside her condo. If you recall, we also shot with her hot roommate, Quinn. Anyway, here are the pictures…

I recently had the opportunity to work with the incredibly beautiful Pam Rodriguez. Pam is so hot…good grief! And a sweetheart too. :) We had a blast shooting up at a Beverly Hills mansion on a sunny weekend…and she showed off some super hot bikinis from her swimsuit line, Pure Rodri. Just check them out for yourself…

Started with an all day photo shoot up at a mansion in Laguna Beach. Love shooting at this house…it’s pretty amazing. :)

On the way back, I caught part of the latest (and when I say “latest,” I mean from back in May…) podcast from LightSource. The guys were interviewing wedding photographer Cliff Mautner…and although he hit a lot of great points, one of the things he mentioned at the beginning of the interview was the importance of blogging. It shows that a photographer’s work is current, relevant…and of all things, that a photographer is actually WORKING. lol. You want to see current stuff from any photographer you may want to hire…and blogging and sharing your most recent work does this. I realized I have neglected this…so I am going to try and do better. :)

Tonight was the Hooters International Swimsuit pageant. Wasn’t able to catch ALL of it…but I did enjoy the parts that I saw. :) And while we are on the subject of Hooters, thought I would share some shots I recently took with Afton from Hooters of Anaheim.

Afton called me up a few weeks ago because she was going to be featured in a local nightlife publication and needed some shots in her uniform…so I headed up and we shot at the store. Afton is totally beautiful…and a blast to hang with. Despite having to wake up at the butt crack of dawn, we had a great time. And the shots came out AMAZING. She is the regional girl of the month at WestCoastHooters.com…so go over and check her out when you have a chance.

Here are some shots…

One of our sets was a cute little pin-up look in Mission Beach. :)

What he meant to say, of course, was “destiny.”

And speaking of Destiny (nice segue, huh?), she is awesome.

She is another hottie from Hooters of Mission Valley…and because of the rainy February weather, we took our photo session to the studio. Along with Monique, we had a blast shooting…and here are a few shots…

Two is definitely better than one. :)

Again, another inside shoot because of the rain…we had awesome weather the day before…a little chilly, but nice…but then came my shoot with Quinn…and the sky became ugly and dark. Boo hoo.

But we didn’t let the weather stop our creativity…we went ahead and shot inside her dope pad downtown…and got some REALLY sexy shots…

Talk about amazing eyes and a gorgeous smile too. :) We had a ton of fun at our shoot…and sexy roomie Candace was also there for the picture taking, so stay tuned for her foxy photos! :)

Sheri is a gorgeous lady from Hooters of Mission Valley…and everything about her is fierce; from her poses, to her ridiculously sexy figure. She is an amazing model…and I’m looking forward to doing some fashion projects with her. Stay tuned for that…but for now, here are some shots from her Hooters calendar submission shoot…

We really need to change that. :)
