Wickett Groves - More shots and behind the scenes!

A while ago I posted shots from a shoot I did for class (Click here to see the original post).

Well, here's the website I designed - Wickett Groves.

Here are a few more shots from that shoot and some behind the scenes photos:

These first two did not make it onto the site, mostly because of time constraints. I had a very limited amount of time to design the site, so I didn't get to include as many photos as I would have liked to.




These next ones are of Kade, the one-year-old son of my models, Phil and Krystal. He really enjoyed playing with the oranges:




Here's the main shot that I used for the front page of the site, without the background removed:


And finally, here are the setup shots:

My makeshift boom stand - a ping pong table!



And here's a close-up of the umbrella:

Jake La Botz

About a month ago I had the privilege of meeting and taking photos of Jake La Botz. Jake is an excellent blues musician and actor. You might recognize him from his most recent role in the new Rambo movie.

In recent years, La Botz has been touring the country (and now Europe as well) playing in tattoo parlors. Last month he played and did an interview at Anthem Tattoo in Gainesville, FL.

La Botz was very relaxed during his interview. He definitely knew what he was doing!






Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the interview:


Here are some shots from the show:

I'd apologize for my lack of posts recently, but I think if you read my previous post you'll understand that things have been a bit crazy lately.

Anyways, here's a preview of a project I did for school. It's for a site advertising a fictitious Blood Orange grove. I'll hopefully be posting more of these (and the website that goes along with it) soon:

I Love You Mom, You Will Be Missed Dearly

Early this morning, my mother passed away. Although I am not in the state of mind to share all that's on my heart, I will at least say this—

My mom was a giver. All of her life she considered others above herself. She will always be loved and dearly remembered.

I take great comfort in knowing that my mother loved Jesus above all else and is now enjoying the presence of God! Though her body has died, my mom—her spirit—lives on and will continue to live forever.

I appreciate everyone's prayers and support throughout this ordeal.

I love you mom!
