My Pool has gone to the DOGS!

Several people have asked about my home studio package, specifically the pool options.  Well here is a fantastic shot showing you what it looks like.  We have a rock waterfall that can be used as a launch pad as shown below or the cave under the rocks has a seat and captures the sunlight perfectly!  The privacy wall is painted "Chili Pepper" and creates a wonderfully dramatic background against the Arizona sky.  Monsoon season is the perfect time for this location, the clouds build and create the amazing sky backgrounds!  See for yourself:

Furniture for photo shoots? What do you think?

Z Gallerie has this stunning chaise lounger and I think it is the perfect piece for my desert photography!  This photo does not even come close to reproducing the color which is called Pool.  'Pool' is a medium turquoise hue.  The style is somewhat contemporary but adds slight western charm with shiny chrome nail heads.  I love it, what do you think?

Girls Night Out!

Girls Night Out is more like an all day girls day out!  This is a fun event that revolves around one of my favorite things to do: SHOPPING!  Girls Night Out happens about four times a year at various locations around the valley.  I bought some great jewelry and the cutest flip flops with some bling that you have ever seen!  This was my first event and I went to help out my friend Annie.  Annie is a professional make-up artist and she has developed a fantastic make-up line, Advanced Minerals.  I took some studio lights and my camera and we did some before/after shots.  Annie started her career working as a makeup artist in Hollywood doing film and television work.  Her makeup line is used on the television show NCIS!  All I can say is after a full day of working, my makeup still looks fresh at 11pm!

Come see Annie at the next event November 18 at the Fairmont Scottsdale Resort.  I am going to be there promoting Amy Gayle Photography as well. That may be the perfect place to give away one of those Gina Alexander Bags I have been raving about......

What's in that pet food?

This is a nice article that links to a video about commercial pet foods.  I found it interesting and thought I would share it.  Like most things you have to listen and draw your own conclusions.
