Katie's Post Wedding Bridals

I took these bridals some time back. Every day I am learning new advanced photoshop skills. I just did some re-editing. Thought since this was a new blog I would post for all to see.

Film Noir Assignment

We had to shoot a project for class to represent the 1940's "film noir" era. It was a time when dark lighting and fatalism was used. It really opened up a chance for me to experiment with lighting. These were done in the middle of the day in a room full of windows. The clothes were a blast to work with. The school theater dept. was so kind to rent out the wardrobe. I am thinking about signing them out again and doing a fashion shoot. My models, Joann, Wesley, Sarah, and my dad, were great. Thanks to all of you

Tina and Baby Austin

Great maternity shoot. Tina and Jason were so excited about their new bundle of joy. Jason kept Tina laughing making it easy to catch her beautiful smile. Baby Austin is here now and they are enjoying their time with him.

Catalog Shoot

We had to do a catalog photo shoot for class. It was really my favorite shoot so far. The models were fantastic and we had a blast. We had to shoot on a white background so that the client can remove the photo and put it on any background they want. The first photo with the fur hood was my cover. Let me know what you think. Thank you to all my models. You all did a great job!

New Blog and New Website

 

I have been working on my new website.  Hope to get it up and running soon.  I have been editing until I get cramps in my hand and fingers.  Should be using my Wascom but...  I am shooting some new Bridals on Sunday.  Post wedding bridals.  Those are always fun and I get to post them right away.  Most brides don't like their pre-weddings bridals on websites or blogs.  I have some I took in December I can't wait to post.  Will be sometime in May. I'll post a sneak peek of Sunday's shoot as soon as I can.  I will also post a link to my website when it is completed.  

Let me get some sleep,

Mandi

PS: Here is a sneak peak of my new website.
