Lake Powell

I have been in Lake Powell for the past week.
Tons of fun and we got some great shots. I'll post some more tomorrow but I gotta run.

I attempted fashion...
Not really my style but I had fun dipping my fingers into something a little different
from my norm.
Sarah Tyau
ans Tawni Bensen are the models
Rachel Lewis on make-up/hair
And clothed by forever 21 (all for under 40 bones)
peace.

These kids remind me of my brother Travis and I when we were
little. I pretty much created our childhood for this shoot.
Thanks so much Brea, Kelli and Jess for
helping me today.

Happy Birthday Mom

It's my mommas birthday today! I love her.

Doctors, ballers and boxers

Once again we take advantage of the prop room at work and
for a brief moment allow ourselves to become someone else,
sometimes I think I should have been an actress.

Me as my mom as a college student

Flo, serves the most fantastic blueberry pie and coffee at the local diner

Sir Michael, don't let him near your daughters

Brea

Beauty's where you find it
Not just where you bump and grind it
Soul is in the musical
That's where I feel so beautiful
Magical, life's a ball
So get up on the dance floor

vogue

from the mouth of a true goddess... Modonna, you are a genius.

Well, this is the product of messing around in the studio with my co-worker Michael Wiltbanks (PS happy birthday tomorrow). I hope this was worth an hour waisted at work. Oh well, life is a ball...

I taught Jimmy how to flex so he could show off his Batman tattoo,

The many expressions of Jimmy

believe it or not but lil' Jim had made all of these faces while watching cars pass by the
window, every time he saw a car pass he would
scream "CARRO". I wish I was as excited about simple things as he is.

This weekend was too short.

Arizona

I am in Tucson for the weekend to visit my brother Jimmy and his family.  I have spent the day with my nephew Jimmy and it has been out of control fun, the cutie never stops with the kisses and laughs.  He is my little dude and I love every minute I get to be with him.  I have taken a million pictures but my brother is living in the Flinstone age and doesn't have photoshop on his computer so I will post them when I get home.  

I can't say I love Tucson or even like it but it's always nice to taste something different.  

I found this image on my brothers iphoto...

Before I became a photographer I was an actress in LA, unfortunately this was from the only part I ever got...

only kidding but not really.

Feet

I feel kinda cool 'cause some feet I shot a while back are on the Urban Outfitters website. Check it.

FYI

My company started a blog called the Rubberblog...
Check it out if you wanna, it's just a space where the photographers in
the company can share what is shot ect...

www.rubberballproductions.blogspot.com

Let me know what you think.


oh yeah,

Our website has been updated so my images are up finally. If you go to Rubberball.com you can find my stuff through the advanced search and click onto my name.

It just hit me that i am a stock photographer.... Yikes.....

I'm missing this one

And this one

And this one

I think God made a mistake when he invented space
I miss too many people who live too far away

Max gets a treat for being so good at the docs.

What is wrong with people?

How could someone hit a dog and drive off as if nothing happened?
Max is a victim of this of this kind of stupidity and is now
missing 2 toenails and is sporting a 2 inch gaping gash on the top of his paw.
Thank you to the random, evil, selfish driver for running over my dogs paw
and driving away while he hobbled off, blood dripping, wimpering and all.
I hope no one treats you the way you have treated my buddy.

I try to remember that I have the ability to lift others burdens.
I am sad that I choose to keep to myself so much of the time.

See how much he has grown

I am sure I have a dozen other images I could use to compare Max's change in size but these ones make me smile.

Did a little shoot

Work?

Did a shoot Friday evening

Bubbles! I am in love with em'

Max discovered he can swim, I can't describe how excited he was while he
paddled back and forth in the lake. Above is a picture of me calming the
dude after swimming.

Abercrombie & Fitch?

All Dogs Go To Heaven

Thanks Natalie for taking these images before I had to let him go.

I have never had to watch someone die, I know watching a pet die is in no way close to watching a loved one pass but it was hard. I wanted to be with him while they put him to sleep, I didn't want him to feel abandoned in his last moments. He was walked out of the room for sedation and wheeled back to me so I could be with him while they put him down. It hurt to see him so still, I have never seen him so silent, I wanted him to look at me but he could only stare straight ahead so put my face level with his for a while trying to record in my memory every second, I wanted to remember his aura before it left. After a few minutes I asked the vet to let him go, he struggled to breath for moment and he was gone, I was told that most of the time the eyes will stay open but he slowly closed his eyes. It was strange to say the least. I knew he was gone but I sat expecting him to lift his head at any moment and come to greet me.


He is happy now, I know this.
