UNWASHED

So, I have been a little absent lately, but I have literally taken THOUSANDS of images in the last month! And with a new camera, too! ;-) Here is one of the shots I took at the UNWASHED art show opening event at the Bancroft gallery. This show was organized by my friend, Joel "Mighty" Damon. More to come!

Backstage Fun...

These are some of the guys that I got to hang out with at the Magnolia Hotel this past Saturday night. Earlier in the day, I was downtown for a rehearsal for a super exciting, fabulous event that is coming up soon, and through some random networking, ended up last-minute shooting a fashion show that night! The show was a Fashion Bar event with Agency 89 and clothes by Torrid. The room was packed and everyone was excited about the show. As a photographer, I had a lot of fun, but next time I'll make sure I have some more time to prepare and get more fun runway shots than I was able to get this time. Here is a little backstage fun, with Blake and some of the models!

Largest Christmas Tree EVER....

Ok, well, it's maybe not the largest one in the world, but the Christmas Tree at the Western Heritage Museum (the old train station in Omaha) is not a small tree! I remember going there when I was little and almost being convinced that Santa had put it there, because there didn't seem to be a door large enough to bring it in. I know how they get it inside now, but it's still one of my favorite things to see in the city at Christmas time.
(Lots of fun - non-Christmas related - things coming up, but I wanted to make sure to post the tree!)

Merry Christmas!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas - full of blessings and more joy than you could imagine!!!

More birds...

So, I guess I am keeping with the bird theme;-) I shot this on a photo shoot that I did last weekend. It was a beautiful day out! Around 45-50 degrees, which is a heat wave for Omaha in December! The very next day, the temperature went down to 2 degrees, and I heard on the radio that the wind chill was -28 degrees! Crazy.....I really hope these little guys found somewhere warm!

Ducks Almost in a Row

So, the last few months I have been in the process of starting my photography business! I'm so excited, and I can't wait to get out there and take more photos. I feel like the business was starting itself before I thought I was really ready for it! I've been feeling like I have to catch up....but I'm a little more relaxed now. I am just taking things one step at a time. I still have a day job that I absolutely love, so I'm not looking to leave it any time soon. However, awesome things have been happening so far for Fandango Fotos! So now that I finally feel like my ducks are almost in a row (haha...get it? ;-) ), I want to keep up this blog again as well, as a way of showing off the thriving metropolis that is Omaha!

Oh, how I miss the leaves already!

I actually took this photo earlier this year in April as I was eagerly awaiting more signs of spring! It's hard to believe how fast time is flying by, and now the trees are once again starting to look like this as winter approaches much more quickly than I would like to believe. Time for hibernation!

ps - and now that I finally have my business blog set up and things are moving well in that area, hopefully, I will be back to post here more often.
