Over the past few weeks I’ve begun second shooting with Fred Ferguson of f.ferguson photographers. My friend Adam of Acme Photography introduced me to him, and it’s been a great business opportunity so far. Both Fred and Adam have been excellent in passing on both knowledge and encouragement. It’s always great to have the mentorship of pros nice enough to give back to us junior photogs.

Second shooting has been nice to bring in some quick, low maintenance income while getting to pick out in weddings what I love photographing – the details and little moments shared between people. Great set-ups from Fred, all I had to do was sit back and shoot. Here’s some images from our first two weddings.

And the second wedding with Brad and Kim. Here’s a fun little comparison of how the guys and girls get ready.

I had a fun portrait shoot with Amy from The Agency Arizona this past weekend. My friend Aeni did a bang-up job with the make-up and hair for the shoot. Normally on test or comp photo shoots I spend most of my time trying to get my models to loosen up, have fun and smile all the time. But with Amy we had to try hard not to smile in every shot. She had such a great personality it was hard to contain it for some simpler beauty shots! We had fun walking and playing on a rope swing…

jogging around the golf course…

in the rain as it started to pour on us…

and closing our shoot off with some simple beauty looks at a nearby shopping plaza. Hope you enjoyed the photos!

Tomorrow is March. Man time is just flying by lately. It seems like I can hardly keep pace with it anymore. It feels like winter just arrived and now spring is soon to start peaking its head around the corner. Well bring it on I say! I’m ready for more barbecues, fun in the sun and some beach time. I’m working on booking a few trips out to LA and San Diego for some pier and beach lifestyle tests. Can’t wait for the weather to warm up for these.

In the meantime I’ve been having some fun here in Phoenix putting together some tests that work for the Valley landscape. Here’s a few shots from  a recent test in Encanto Park with a great group of models from The Agency Arizona.
