Finish photos Meltdown

Shoot with Katlyn Oct 22, 2011

The shoot is DONE! Took over two years from first idea to getting the shoot finished, it was very much worth the wait.
If you ever get the chance to work with Katlyn Lacoste, don't hesitate! She is the most expressive model I have worked with, not that I have worked with a whole lot mind you. I hoped she would do
this shoot with me, she had the perfect look I wanted, and she did not disappoint.

So comes the time consuming part of the project, going through the photos, editing, correcting, and whittling down over 300 to 16. Hmmmm, this isn't going to be easy.

Thank you Katlyn!

This is Princess. I got in contact with her on Model Mayhem and we have done three shoots together. All three were in a park north of Lancaster, Pa.

The second shoot was interesting. I got there early and was checking out places to shoot and I did something foolish, It had started to rain and I got into my car to wait the rain out, I was watching the radar on my phone and saw it would pass before she arrived, no big deal. The foolishness came about when I popped the trunk and got out of the car to check to see which tripod I had brought. When I went to get back into the car, after I had closed the trunk I realized I had locked the keys in the car.

This was a problem.

All sorts of ideas ran through my mind as to how i was going to get into my car. Break one of the little windows by the rear door? No, a broken window in a car in my neighborhood was a sure way for something bad to happen. As I was walking around to find something to try to jimmy the door I did have a near run in with a family of skunks living behind some plywood leaning against a wall.

Needless to say I did manage to get into my car, after she had arrived of course.

The pictures above are of the second and third shoots, June 24th and October 10th, 2010

Kutztown University, March 27, 2010

It was a good shoot. It was a bit on the chilly side and windy, but it went well. I could tell the cold was getting to her a little, but she didn't want to quit. We walked around the University for almost two hours, and we got some really good shots.

Brittany July 19, 2009

This was a bit of a strange shoot for me. Not the shoot itself, but the days before, the shoot went great.

Brittany and her friend Caitlyn were students at Millersville University and we met in the small town of Marietta, Pa for the shoot. We just walked up and down the streets, stopping here and there and getting shots. They are both upbeat and great young women, had a very good day and I thank both of them for taking the time.

Caitlyn July 19, 2009

This is Caitlyn. She actually grew up not far from where I did in Bucks County, Pa, kind of interesting I thought.

As I said in the previous post, the shoot went great, but the strangeness was the day prior to the shoot. I had set up the shoot with Caitlyn and she asked if her friend Brittany could come along, fine with me. But then two days before the shoot my wife informs me she wants me to get out. This was a long time in the making, and I had been looking for a place to move into.

At the time of the shoot, I was homeless, living in my minivan and the shoot was a much needed distraction from life.

Fun times!
