Power of Prayer !

I created this image for a friend of mine who comes from a super family who have a special calling in prayer. So when I saw Mark put on this hoody I immediately knew what I wanted to do.

Some have thought this image is too dark for a "prayer" type of imagery. But for me I see the Strength and Power in it. It feels like this is a dedicated warrior who understands the power and art of Prayer for Righteous means.

I love it.

Just wanted to share. Hope you like as much as I do.

Peace.

Do you need a LIFE COACH ?

I don't know about you, but every now and then in our lives, things seem to get a bit confusing and even blurry. Life issues arise, Life Changing circumstances coming out of no where turning everything in our lives upside down. Or maybe it is the fact that we feel lost, or directionless.

I've been there, done that, and bought the t-shirt.

Thankfully in our society today, there are some extremely gifted men and women who have that skill in being able to help us through those pockets of our lives.

As a photographer who loves to photograph weddings and portraits as well, I have also had the privilege to photography absolutely loving families and couples. Yet sadly to say, I have also been involved in seeing relationships that started out with such love, fall apart for what ever reason.

It is in these areas where Life Coaches come into play in our lives.

Paul Vermes has not only been a my best friend for a life time, but a brother to me. I wouldn't even have the space nor time to tell you stories upon stories of how he has helped me in my life. And I believe he can help you through what you are going through too. If what I just described above some what resonates with you. Give Paul a call. What do you have to lose, except a more rewarding and full filling LIFE !

Headshots for your web and biz

One of the areas I love about my biz are headshots.
I find that I meet some of the most amazing people through this work.

Take for example Charity. Charity is one of the hottest (and I don't mean just looks) hip hop and break dancers I know of. I always wonder why I have not seen her on "So you think you can dance USA" ?

Then there is Patricia. A beautiful person whom I have had the chance to work with,who is also an actress. She's been in some shows on TV, such as "Psych".

Then there photographers such as Michael Iwasaki whom I have photographed. Here is a great story actually. I was the photographer who photographed his wedding. And ever since then, we have been such great friends. One I am so blessed to have in my life. Michael has a super great company called "Image catelog" . Image Catelog is a great place for photographers to post up images that can be purchased by companies for use in their brochures, webstites or other promotional material.

These are just a few stories from some of the many headshots I have done. For more Headshot images, visit my website under Headshots in the "my gallery" section.

Prices are also available on line.

Come by for a headshot and share with me your story.

Look forward to meeting you.

Nicole - My favorite Italian model

Here is another headshot for ya.

This is a good friend and one of my favorite "muses" in my photographic life.

My dear Nicole is just one of those who has such striking eyes that it is so hard not to see the true beauty that is deep within her. Not only has she been a great friend and model to me, way back when I was just beginning as a photographer, she has always been such a great support and encouragement to me too. These are the kind of friends we all need more of.

This is just a little teaser for now, as more will come of Nicole shortly. But until then, check out her beautiful eyes. Aren't they beautiful ?

Claire Robertson

Claire is another true beauty. Once again another plus size model who exudes beauty all over the place. Claire and I actually met because we were working together in helping a make up artist do some action shots for his port. So these images came as a part of that shoot. If you're a photographer and need a great plus size model, check out Claire Robertson.

Here are some images from that session as well as a headshot.

Cheers,

London Andrews - my gypsy model

During the summer months I try and spend time working with models on very unique creative projects. I especially love working with Plus size models. Why ? Because there is in the public a perception that skinny is the ultimate beauty. I would disagree with that.

There is such Beauty in every person I meet. And apart of the joy and fun that I love as a photographer is finding that true beauty in everyone.

Well, London Andrews is one such model. There is such beauty inside of here that it just oozes out the minute you meet her. I found London on Model Mayhem, an online web gallery for models and photographers. After finally working out a project idea and scheduling a session date, London and I finally met.

What blew me away about London was how she drove up to my studio in a beat up ford mustang having literally driven right across America and Canada doing photoshoots everywhere she went ! Everything she owned was literally in her car ! I loved it. And to top that, London is just such a sweet heart and gentle in spirit. And a superb model. I am blessed having been able to work with such talent and beauty.

Anyways, here are a couple images from our session. I don't know about you, but if the world thinks plus size is not beautiful, I would beg to differ !
