One of my Princess Nieces . . .

I was in the process of shooting my Sister's family holiday pictures for their Christmas cards and of course my sister wanted my niece to model for the camera. I just recently bought a relatively cheap background stand from Savage and some black muslin cotton sheet from Joann's Fabrics and here's a couple of the results. I might have a Gap ad in the making! Wanna pay me Gap? ;)

Both of these were taken with the black muslin with two strobes fired through two shoot through white umbrellas. One camera right and one camera left. Camera left was in a little closer.

Jimmy's Place . . .

Food to die for. I took some photos of food to be used for printing on the back of the business cards for Jimmy's Place, a cozy Mom & Pop diner style restaurant that is open for breakfast & lunch. Check it out sometime if you're ever in Union City, CA. The Mom & Pop (my Mom & Pop to be exact) would love to serve you some delicious home cooking!

Broke out the Cactus wireless triggers, light stands and umbrellas to help out with the lighting during the photo session.

A unique breakfast experience, Jimmy's skillet. Linguica, mushrooms, bell peppers and onions served on top of potatoes or rice with three eggs and yummy goodness.



No point avoiding it, you know you want a side of Beignets with you breakfast. A southern style doughnut topped with powdered sugar and a sweet vanilla sauce.



If you love burgers, try the Deluxe Burger. It's a double patty cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles & a secret sauce. Best burger you'll have, promise.



For all your kids, try the homemade Fish and Chips, battered and fried to order.
