Nevada

Nevada is a nursing student at UNR and a transplant from a farm in upstate New York. She is a wonderful young woman. She approached me a few days ago about doing a shoot with her and as I had some ideas I wanted to try out, it was a perfect collaboration. We spent about an hour and a half in the natural light studio yesterday, and I’m quite pleased with the results. Here are just a couple.

Windy Autumn Evening

Sunset portrait session with the lovely Mariya, last Thursday evening at Mayberry Crossing Park in Reno, NV.

Girls’ Night Out

As many of you know, our daughter is getting married (next Saturday!). Her bridal shower was last Saturday, but it was not a “typical” one. Daughter eschewed gifts and opted instead for a girls’ night out. We got pampered at a local nail salon, Soak, followed by a price conscious dinner. I took the liberty of reserving the studio at Hatch for a little post-supper fun.

There are props at the studio . . .

We had a lot of fun . . .

I did mention the props right? Ali took one look at the headdress and rethought her decision to go veil-less.

We took a little time for some individual shots too.

And finally, a portrait I’ve been wanting for a long time . . .

Model Shoot: Pheenix

Readers may remember the lovely Pheenix. She was one of the models from a portrait class I took last May. She and I have stayed in contact and about a week ago she approached me to do another shoot. We had fun last Wednesday night at Hatch Reno. I’ll be posting more from this shoot in the coming days.
