Although I’m currently working on editing a few projects I worked on while I was in Vegas, here’s a sneak peak of a couple I shot at the Boneyard. They were really awesome couple to shoot. We had a good time even when it was extremely freezing outside. The pumpkin represents them as a couple in which they have a collection of pumpkins. There is also a story behind the collection, but I will keep you guessing what the story is about.
Shooting at the Boneyard was exciting and fun. We got lucky to get in. Currently it’s not open to the public and I might be one of the last photographers to shoot there for awhile0 The Neon Museum will be closing the Boneyard after Christmas to prepare a portion of the land so they can open it the public next year. I was told it may not be the same when it reopens; but for me and my couple, passing through the gates was a ghostly experience into Las Vegas past we’ll never forget.
While I was away from the Bay Area and enjoying the extreme weather in Las Vegas, I got the chance to spend some time with one of my oldest buddies that I’ve known since the third grade. Seriously, feels good to have a close friend from that long ago. Even cooler than we were pen pals for years when she moved to Germany. I wanted to get a nice family photo of them for Christmas so I can send a gift to my buddy before she heads off to the Army. Here are a few shots from the small session. Her daughter was so cute and had a fun time taking photos with her stuff dog. Although I’m usually not a portrait type shooter, this was super fun shoot for me. Lets see if she’ll like her gift=)
The day after shooting in the rain, we headed out for a solo shoot with Uilani. Although the sky was partly cloudy, the sun was wide awake and beeming down some nice light for us to shoot with. As we headed into the woods and to the path of grandmothers house (j/p), we watch our steps as the rocks were super slippery. I thought it was a ironic how there was a sign to warn people about flash floods. I guess they get a lot of photographers there haha just kidding!
