New York, I <3 U.

Or, shall i say, I <3 these two new New Yorkers ... :)
Last week I visited the fine {hectic, crazy, glamorous, cutthroat, chic, etc.} city of New York and stayed with my friends/models Kimberly and Kevin - both of whom you've most definitely spotted here in my humble bloggy!

I did more in those few NYC days than I ever really expected ... WHEW, was it a BLAST {and a tad intimadating}.

I did not bring my beloved camera for fear of looking like a tourist while actually being one {and of thieves, of course!}. During my trip, however, I made the decision to pursue my lonnnng time dream of being a fashion/commercial photographer and move to the BIG C I T Y!
NYC here i commmme {in August} !!!!

I also found some roomies during the trip - my intensely attractive K-squared friends pictured below. ;)
In honour of my roomies-2-b, I decided to post these pics I realized I never posted before ...

Grab a GIANT soft pretzel and enjoy!
These kids will be famous some day, ya know.

xoxo

P.S. for those of you who i've signed contractuals with for post-August events, fear not - I will still be there with bells on. :)




favourite of the group = i saved the best for last. ;)

K squared {in the city}

i posted a shoot with kevin and kimberly a little while back after we shot downtown {ie: the nicky blaine's shoot post}. but there were ample more shots that i loved, so i'm doing yet another post with these two brilliant ballet dancers. :)

i just adore shooting ballet dancers because they not only have beautiful bodies but they have endless artistic poses. they never cease to 'WOW' me.
unfortunately, the lighting was really bad here so i couldn't get quite the effect i wanted, especially with the dancing shots - just too blurry. these two are so dynamic and steamy in front of a camera, it's just a blast shooting them!

enjoy the steaminess of the K squared duo!

i'm in love with this one ... SO Eternity by Calvin Klein. :P




now, how incredible is this?!


these {see above and below} are two of my favs from this shoot - crack me up! kev looks particularly clark kent-ish here. {hot :) }


a wee bit angsty, but i love it, ha.

kev + kimberly: blur crazy in indy

my darling, kimberly {who you've so recently seen in that precious pink rose dress} and her good friend, kevin, met up with me to do a shoot in indy this past week. they're both a blast to work with - they're also both ballet dancers from Butler!

kevin's an old pro with photo shoots and hopes to embark on tres chic underwear photography modeling in nyc {pretty hot}.
at first, we had a bit of a tough time on a locale for our shoot, but after a little drive through downtown indy, we found a great bar that agreed to let us shoot away {yesss!}. suffice it to say, the lighting was VERY low low LOW, but i discovered a RAD low lighting method while playing around with my flash. these two learned how to work with the flash tactics fast, and we had a riot figuring out new poses. :)
we had SO many good ones that this may just be my biggest post yet!

enjoy these hot kids, and let me know whatchya think!

The Little Rose Dress Shoot with Kimberly

my cutie pie friend, kimberly page/kristen is a beeeeau-ti-ful ballerina + model. i've done runway and ballet photos of her, but when she told me about this gorgeously rustic place in indy, and her new rosie dress, i KNEW i had to have her in front of my camera AGAIN! :)

we snuck our way over the fence of this stunning spot in a public park she found, and i went ga-ga, snapping shots of her in that adorable {TEENY} dress!
we had a blast on this dreary, winter afternoon.

enjoy the sneak peak, and let me know whatchya think!

xoxo
