Chris is a friend of mine from TheManRegistry.com, an excellent resource website for grooms. He and I went to the same college in St. Louis Missouri and have loads of mutual friends but never had met until just a few weeks ago. He and his wife had a superbowl party at their home that the boy dragged me to. I’m so glad he did!

Since then, Chris and I have become fast friends.  When he was in need of some new shots for the site, I was more than happy to take this headshot session for him yesterday afternoon.  At first I was a little concerned that the sun was hiding yesterday but these came out so beautifully.

The many faces of Chris:

We had so much fun goofing around with different “looks” and poses.  Chris was a blast!

Finally we did a few ring concepts for his site.

Chris is awesome. Check out his site if you haven’t. It’s a great resource for sure. They are about to launch a vendor site too which is going to be fabulous no doubt. This shoot was so much fun!! I can’t wait for the next headshot/portrait session.

In September 2007, I got a wonderful new roommate, Jovanna. She does some acting on the side and needed some headshots and conveniently moved in with a photographer. One morning we took an hour or two and shot these. After having taken these in October, I figured that it’s about time I finished editing them and posted them. I’m really pleased with how they turned out.

I have a good friend who I met at Sundance Film Festival in 2006. Jay Holben is a “retired” cinematographer and now does photography and producing films quite often. He has hired me as an on set photographer for a few of his gigs and then invited me to come join him for this photo shoot.

Dean is a professional model/actor who really knows his stuff. He is great. He has a fantastic smile, some great looks and I got some really excellent shots of him.

After getting to know me a bit, and my goofy sense of humor Dean started to get pretty hammy with me. It was really entertaining. We had a lot of laughs.

“Mikey O” as everyone calls him, is a singer in the band The Mighty Regis.  (They are AWESOME! Photos I take of them to come later or view them on my flickr or on my website)  I started frequenting the band about a year ago with my best friend and since have become friends with all the members.  As my camera started appearing with me more and more at their performances, Mike approached me for some new headshots.

What I didn’t know about Mike was that he apparently hates, no loathes, to have his picture taken. He was quite the challenge. Although, I am more than glad for the experience of it all!

As my photography business was taking off, I started receiving requests for headshot sessions. Having never done one before, I decided I needed a subject I was not only comfortable with but one which I could make mistakes without consequence. Greg, an old friend of mine, just recently relocated to Los Angeles. He’s still finding his feet, but as a musician/actor I figured some headshots were just what he needed. We got together on a beautiful Friday afternoon and had a blast.
