Product shoot for our friends at JoPaulo salon!

Our friend, and favorite stylist, Jo Paulo has recently launched his own hair and body care line. Some of the products are geared towards salons, and the others are all natural, including a natural line just for babies. We use both at home, and they work and smell great (I swear I wouldn't post this if I didn't lub it so much). Anywho, he wanted some promo shots for all of them, so here they are! The metallic labels we're definitely a challenge to shoot, but I think they turned out great!




These products can be found at http://www.jopaulonaturals.com

And also he does an amazing job on my hair :)

Its currently black, red, and mulberry I believe. I just let him do what he wants, and it always turns out gorgeous.

Braces Touch Up

I'm working on retouching some photos from Fun & Fit, and I thought I'd try my hand at removing braces. Let me know what you think!

After:

I also brightened her eyes, and removed a heart she had drawn on her hand. Will her mom love me, or what?

Senior Portraits Downtown

The weather was nice to us this afternoon, and didn't decide to start pouring until we got home! Phew! This was the third time we'd tried to do Chelsea's senior portraits, luckily the weather permitted. We found an abundance of vintage cars for her to lean on, so that was exciting. Here are a few of the shots I liked. I'm also adding a few shots I took en route to different locations.



I've always loved the color of the E.P. Foster Library, so 50's!


The Bella Magiorre building is gorgeous!


That's all I got for today, I'm exhausted!

Collages!


Today I've been working on collages for the Fun & Fit Imagymnation kids. This one is my favorite so far, the kid was adorable and very easy to work with. And he liked Spiderman, so that made my job entertaining!

Our 2009 Family Photo



This is my first post! I am Sue Bell for any of you that are wondering. Every year we like to do something fun for our family portrait. We take it on Christmas Day when all the kids are here. This year we were missing my son Garrett so we represented him with a mop with a Marine Corps hat.

I knew I wanted to do something in an alley so we drove around downtown Ventura looking for one that works. We found this one on Palm St. next to Oasis Garden & Patio.

It was really day time, so later I had to do some Photoshop work to get it to have the mood I desired. I even created fire! I feel so cavewoman like!
