Seth Philpott Rocks

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

I recently had the pleasure of doing a promo shoot for a man who goes by the name of Seth Philpott. He’s one of the hottest up and coming artists in Nashville. He’s finishing up his new record and it is freeeaakkkiiinnggg awesome!! As another bonus we had the one and only Natalie Jagers styling this shoot…she’s pretty much the bestest stylist in the biz! The best way to view this post is to first visit Seth’s Myspace page by clicking here, and then listen to his tunes while you look at the photos. Do it. Now. I’ll give you a minute to click on his page and then get back here to see the photos …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. …………. ………….

Brittany + JR = My new BFFE’s

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Brittany called me a while back after getting my number from a mutual friend and honored me with asking me to shoot her and JR’s engagements and wedding. I didn’t get to actually meet them in person until the day we shot their engagments and immediately I knew it was going to be one of the best shoots EVER! They are so crazy fun I can’t even explain it. We have decided that we are all new best friends and will be hanging out often. We shot at a radical field that I found and the Dallas Farmer’s Market. At the market they bought and ate some corn…it then motivated JR to do flips over Brittany…. S-T-R-A-I-G-H-T B-A-L-L-E-R! Ya know..it’s just not fair to everyone esle in the world that my job is so great. I get to meet and hang out with the C-o-o-l-e-s-t P-e-o-p-l-e E-v-e-r and make great new friends. Brit…Jr…you complete me.

When I think fun…when I think cool…when I think radical to the 10th degree….when I think about who brings the party….when I think of curing the blues…when I think of world peace….I think of Lee and Courtney. They are my friends. They are awesome. They are super hot and rad. Enjoy their engagement photos:

Rocky & Sara Kick Butt

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Rocky and I go way back and I was completely honored when he asked me to do photos for them. They are basically the coolest people ever. The both have great style, lots of attitude, fun and crazy personalities, and it really came across in their modeling skills (and apparently they like to kiss a lot). They’re complete and utter rockstars! Love you guys.
