Fashion Photography :: Evy's Tree

What a special session this was. Amy and Brandon have been long time friends of my family's. Amy started a home business of embellished men and woman's hoodies and other clothing to maintain being a SAHM, (stay-at-home-mom). Let me stop for a sec and say that SAHMs hold a high place with me. Nothing more worthy then making sure your little ones get the hands of their mommies to bandage their knees and wipe their boogies. My hat is off to ALL of you. I though it was very fitting to name her home based business "Evy's Tree" Who's Evy? Check the bottom of this post. I'd say she is a pretty fantastic reason to have all this fan fare.

So the good news is that Evy's tree is busting at the seems. Help has been hired and the business THRIVING. The next logical step was to get some promotional photos for their site and general branding. They call me! :)

After checking out our session images, hop over to Evy's Tree. They got some cool stuff for us dudes too. :)

OH!! I almost forgot. Most all the hair accessories and a few on the flower pendants were made by Mrs. Hassas! My wife is amazingly talented and has her hand in clothing and hair accessories. Don't forget to tell her how beautiful her stuff is! :)
Love you babe.

Music is what feelings sound like.

My next few posts will be a bit out of the ordinary for all that follow my blog. As much as I love shooting all things wedding photography, having a chance to do THIS is a welcome change here and there. If you haven't seen my work surrounding musicians in the past, have a look at these after you've had your fill with this fresh post:

A.J. and the Band
Kris Seibold
Luis Lenzi, (our first shoot)

This time around, I had the pleasure of shooting for 2 separate musicians on different shoots. Whats a bit of a coincidence both these guys have crossed musical paths before.

First we have Mr. Luis Lenzi. You may remember Luis for a shoot we did for him early last year. He had put out a CD and here he is perusing further into his dream with CD numero dose. Proud of you my friend. You play the sax like no other. Be sure to check out his website and store:

Secondly we have Mark Yandris. For many years, this mans abilities have been know to me, (and countless others) as a spearhead in the gospel music world. Excuse the modern day vernacular but the only way to describe the choir he leads is "slammin". If you're ever in Merced California on a Sunday hake your way over to Apostolic Tabernacle. You will leave blessed. Thanks for having me Mark! It was also a treat to have friend AND client, Eric come out to help as assistant on this shoot. He and his bride were married about 4 weeks back by yours truly. Photos soon to come!


Thanks for stopping by folks. Up next is a clothing/model session and a book cover shoot. Lots to love.

Happy Thursday!
