Desert Photo Shoot
Want a unique portrait? Try a desert photo shoot.
A photo shoot in the desert can happen here in the Phoenix area most times of the year, except when the heat is bad in the summer. My favorite time to do a photo shoot in the desert is spring. The desert is in bloom and provides for some amazing backgrounds. One of my favorite colorful backgrounds during this season is the Arizona Ironwood tree in bloom. The plentiful yellow blooms explode with color when backlit by the sun, as in the image above and immediately below. It creates a unique look. The Ironwood only blooms for a couple of weeks of the year, so timing of the photo shoot is critical.
Another unique feature of our deserts is the saguaro cactus. They only grow in this part of the world, so this is the place to get a portrait in a setting that just can't be done anywhere else!
How do you dream of being photographed?
How to you dream of being photographed?
Every woman wants to be beautiful. But even more, every woman wants to believe that she is beautiful. What most women don't believe is that they are beautiful. Sometimes, it takes a good photograph for a woman to believe in her beauty. A good photographer that knows how to bring out your beauty can give you that new perspective; give you that new reality. It's time to prove your beauty to yourself.
Black and White Photogrpahy
I love black and white photography.
I didn't hold an appreciation for it when I was younger, but my daughter taught me it's beauty and value. Now I can't get enough of it.
Plus, it's not everyday you get to photograph someone with the character that this subject has to show. The age, the long hair and the ink. It all comes together to create something special. He was just made for black and white photography!

Seamless Beauty: Turning Your Scars Into Beauty Marks
I'm about to embark on a new photography project. It's called "Seamless Beauty: Turning Your Scars into Beauty Marks".
The project is in collaboration with Dr. Jean Robey, a Phoenix area physician who, in turn, is also an artist.
As with my Freckles Project, I enjoy taking that which some in our culture would consider "not attractive", and showing the beauty that resides therein. It's often just a matter of perspective and how one views the world. The goal will to photograph people who have scars on their bodies. The scars may be the result of surgery, injuries or disease. People usually wish to hide their scars, but we will be showing them. Hopefully under a new light. Showing how they may have become a part of defining the subject. A part of what has become beautiful about them.
Dr. Robey puts it like this: The scar has closed. It has healed. It's now seamless. It is now a beauty mark. Therefore, the project title is "Seamless Beauty: Turning Your Scars into Beauty Marks".

All women want to look, feel and be beautiful. Unfortunately, the concept of beauty in our culture makes that impossible for many women. Or so it seems. The right photographer can create images that capture your beauty.
