Gabi Bauer

A couple weeks ago a friend of mine brought her daughter, Gabi Bauer, to my studio for a few headshots. A day or two later I asked Gabi's mother if she thought Gabi would be interested in doing a photo shoot. She immediately called Gabi who accepted the offer. The photo shoot date was set for Friday, 12-23-11.

I knew that this was going to be Gabi's first time in front of the camera..."modeling". Although we didn't shoot very long I have to say Gabi did a wonderful job. Thank you Gabi....

Stacy

I met Stacy a couple years ago on another photo shoot although I didn't remember her name. Then not too long ago she "friend" me on Model Mayhem. When I was looking for someone to shoot with on Friday, 12-16-11, at the studio I sent her a message to see if she would be interested. She accepted! Thank you Stacy!

Honeygrids

A couple weeks ago I bought the Elinchrom Quadra which is a battery pack flash system. I bought them to go between my Nikon SB-900 speedlights and my Elinchrom Style RX 600 monolights. My other battery pack light system I have is the Elinchrom Ranger RX.

I have a couple upcoming shoots where I was planning on using the Quadra's so I bought the Elinchrom Maxilite to use with the Quadra or with the other Elinchrom lights. The Maxilite is a 16" wide, deep reflector. Elinchrom doesn't make a grid for it, so I ordered a grid from Honeygids that I got on Thursday.

On Friday I took a shot of the Elinchrom Maxilite on a Style RX 600 monolight. The light was about 10' from the wall shot at f/11. Next I put the grid on the Maxilight and measured the light at the wall. It was 6/10 of a stop lower than without the grid. The second shot was taken after I put the light back up to f/11. The grid sure does keep the light confined.

Sena Ehrhardt Band / Whiskey Junction

Sena Ehrhardt Band, Blind Pig Recording Artist, were playing at the Whiskey Junction in Minneapolis on Saturday, 11-26-11. A day or two before they were scheduled to play Sena messaged me letting me know the band would be playing in my neighborhood.

I wasn't sure if I would make it since I had a photo shoot all day at the studio, but I was going to try and make it. It had been a couple months since I last saw everyone.

This summer I went to several "Blues Festivals" and the band played at several that I attended. Steve Dancin' Hansen jokingly posted on Facebook that we should ride together to the Bayfront Blues Festival since we were always going to the same ones.

Sena Ehrhardt Band put out a CD, Leave The Light On, this summer...if you get a chance pick up a copy at their next performance....you won't be disappointed in either the performance or the CD!!

Sheila St. James

Sheila St. James contacted me wanting to do a photo shoot because she needed some new images to update her website. Julie Lam is Sheila's Make-up Artist (MUA). I met Julie earlier this year on a photo shoot for Faces Etc of MN.

Sheila is a US Champion Aerobics Instructor as well as a Sports, Swimsuit, Fitness/Figure model and competitor. Sheila moved from Now Orleans to Minneapolis after surviving Hurricane Katrina.

Our photo shoot was on Saturday, 11-19-11, at my studio in Minneapolis. Prior to the shoot we met at the studio so she could tell me a little bit about herself and the type of images she wanted. I took the opportunity to show her the studio, also. Sheila decided that she wanted to be photographed on the white background.

I had a very fun day at the studio with both Sheila and Julie. Thank you ladies!

The link to more images of Sheila is after the following images of her.

One more of Melissa ...

well just another look to an image I've already posted. This one I took most of the details out of Melissa's skin to give her more of a "porcelain" look.
