And Now for Something Completely Different: Devlynn DeSade

This lovely young lady is Devlynn DeSade.
 Ms DeSade is a local entrepreneur in the art of seduction I had the luck of running into! Crazy times!
So when we met, given the interesting nature of her business, I naturally had lots of questions!
When Ms. DeSade answered them all in a very business focused and courteous manor I was impressed!
I guess that's kinda par for the course given her line of work, but one thing lead to another and I think she invited me to see her home and I offered to photograph her! Viola! Here we are! Blog post 1044.
 One thing I really like about a photo shoot is a challenge. I have to say, during this photo shoot I was pretty challenged. Believe it or not in a bondage den there's a lot of things you don't run into every day. Figuring the right light for them was interesting and the whole shoot was really just crazy cool!!
 Even Ms. DeSade's kitty was nice.
 In fact, I have to say the whole experience was top notch. Ms. DeSade was wonderfully gracious and her place, while slightly frightening, was really beautiful.

Big THANK YOU for the opportunity to photograph such interesting people in such a cool place, Ms. DeSade!

Sometimes I find myself waking up in the mornings thinking... "That actually happened!"

Adventure Photos!

 So for the first time in years I go to go out on an adventure!
 Really living up the proverb 'the journey is the destination' when the original objective (a covered bridge) fell through to renovation...
"Photograph whatever is cool" became the name of the game. 
 It was nice to photograph and then process something that wasn't people.
(but I DID have a great time reviewing Sabina's wedding also)

I Made the Cover!

 So in some awesome news a recent photo shoot I did for the AMAZING Ford-Ellington Event Design company was featured in the national Catering Magazine!!!!!! What's even cooler is that our image made the cover!
I would be foolish not to state that without Kevin and Laura's beautiful designs this would have never happened! Ford-Ellington is THE top floral design in the tri-state area! If you are getting married you should use them as your benchmark!

Santa at Krohn Conservatory!

 Great news my friends! The family portrait images from Krohn Conservatory are finished!
Robots and Rainbows served up another heaping helping of holiday cheer with Santa and Krohn this season! 

If you haven't been to the conservatory this season you HAVE to go check it out! 
 And I got to take a few artsy fartsy shots for myself.

Everyone had a great time!
 And Meg and I LOVE to make the kids smile!


The Amazing Kat.

 This fantastic masterpiece was created by the equally amazing fashion designer Kat Bishop!
 Kat and I have been friends for quite some time and I have had the privilege of photographing some of her fabulous creations!
and This!
 Kat is an original and compelling designer with a dramatic edge. Her creations are both compelling and a curiosity. Not only that, but she has one of the quirkiest senses of humor of anyone I have ever met! So when she called me up a few weeks ago to photograph this gown for a critique I was all in after hearing about the antlers. 
 Our beautiful model is Elle. Beside being crazy enough to work with Kat and myself, Elle is an outstanding model willing to go the extra mile for the shot!
 Like wearing antlers with fur on them...
Check out the fabulous detail of this design and fabric! 
And there was some fun too! 
Thank you Kat for letting me preserve this masterpiece! It's no wonder it stole the show!

A Little Fun in the Snow with Kaitlyn

 I had quite a fun time last Sunday! It didn't start off so great actually, my wedding consultation got rescheduled due to some heavy snow... but... 
Then my friend and model Kaitlyn "Cakeland" Smith called me up asking to participate in a snow shoot. 
 And I was all for that!
Despite being warned to bring warm clothes Cakeland opted for the lovely outfit you see above.
 We had a brisk 20 min to capture some awesome images!
And I got to meet Lindsey, who, while cute, threatened to knife me more than once. 

Thanks for the amazing shoot ladies!

Did you know about the American Sign Museum?

 Last week one of the coolest things that I got to do was photograph a holiday party for some surgeon fiends of mine! 
And I was shocked to show up at the American Sign Museum for the celebration! 
 There was SO MUCH neon! 
 This is my friend, and master of ceremonies, Tom, who invited me to photograph the event!

 This place was intense!
 It was a wonderful event!
And totally memorable, Thanks Tom! 
 A little panorama
 The speeches were amazing too!
This event was amazing! Thank you Tom!
