dear world,

most of you remember the first post I did on this site, many of you said " i want a shot just like that!" and although i'm flattered and want to think it's because of my photography, we all know it's because everyone just wants to be as adorable as joani. and now... you can be.

if you didn't see that post click HERE to see it. it will make you smile.

the blonde model, of course, is the always stunning, and owner of rita vintage, joani.

the brunette, is my best friend from elementary school who was in town for the weekend, and fortunatly, the perfect size for some of the outfits!

where does the name rita vintage come from? joani has a cat named rita. rita is cross eyed.

tell me you don't want ALL of this clothes? beware, there is tons more...

keep an eye out for Joani, and all of Rita Vintage's adventures...

dear world,

ask any photographer. 50% of a shoot is the photographer. the lighting the angles . the camera. the other 50% is your model. and sweet jesus is it an easy and rewarding day in my book ( literally my portfolio) when my model is stunning, and amy, is just that.

Amy is a sophomore at American University in Theatre, aspiring to be a film actress.

those eyes will be incredible on screen

she's my new favorite underclassman.

This is the third set of headshots I did this week, so stay tuned for more....

Dear World,

here is something different for your viewing pleasure.

Meet: Steel Train

throughout college I loved shooting live theatre, but rock and roll will always be the best.

Live shows have always been one of my favoritte things to shoot. When i first started learning photography, my friend Drew always shot live rock shows and bands with a canon rebel, and i learned from him.

This is Jack, Jack is also a member of Fun, with the lovely and talented Emily Moore ( featured in track 6 on my album: Stay)

they rock so hard.

this show was at Jammin Java in Vienna, Va. one of my favorite " DC " music spots.

that stud in the stripes is Justin Huey. Justin recently introduced me as his friend of a decade, wow... it's really been that long. crazy. Justin produced my album sang on the songs and played just about all of the intruments, he is insanely talented....

This next stud said to me after the show " people can't really dance to our music, I mean how do you dance to it?" I replied with " air guitar, air drums, jump around and sing!" so if thats what your into, i recommend catching them on tour.

I could watch this band play for days.

they aren't too bad looking either, ladies.

one day i want to be able to bounce around the stage like Jack. right now if im playing--- standing still is best, but one day - jumping jacks.

drums.

Do you watch letterman? You may recognize them from Monday's show where they were the featured band. Or last year on Conan... no big deal right?

their new album just came out, and versions with covers from bands like Tegan and Sarah and Scarlett Johansson ( sp?) yes ... awesome.

and the audience lived happily . ever . after .

M U S I C PROMO : phillip noss

Dear World,

I give to you ( again ) Phillip Noss. Guitarist Songwriter extroirdinaire. I am really excited about this shoot that we just did today because it is the look we've been aiming for since january and finally - it came out.

lots of jumping, because he is afterall, a rockstar.

he was very giggly because his beautiful girlfriend came. I insisted she hop in, and this picture is proof they are soul mates :)

L O V E .
