The Close-up

Wedding...Ida-Laurinda Bright-Larmouthis

I was asked to assist with a wedding, for the lovely couple...Ida and John. They got married at sunset at the beautiful stonewall golf club ( http://www.stonewallgolfclub.com/). This was my first wedding, and it was SOOOO MUCH FUN! The music, the dancing, the people, the colors, the music...the music....yes, i know i am saying it over and over...BUT I've never been to a traditional Liberian Wedding...and if you know of any others coming up...HOLLA!! I damn near broke my camera and my hip, cuz i kept wining down to the floor...picking it up...and shakin it a lil :P The fabulous Marlene Hawthorne Thomas (http://www.obsidianeyephoto.com/) brought me on board, and showed me the ropes of shooting weddings. I will say, I think I got it :) Thanks Marle!

Justify my love shoot

wooooooh!!! where have WE BEEN?? I must tell you family, when we started posting these images on this blog and other places on the web, we weren't aware of the overwhelming blessings we were going to receive for the work done! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!... The team has been working tirelesly on a lot of assignments, weddings, engagement pictures, graphic support, editorial spreads, as well as individual consults. If you or anyone you know is in need of what we have to offer: photography, make-up, hair, wardrobe, website, graphics, etc.....holla!!! here are the shots from one of our latest, inspired from Madonna's, "Justify My Love" video. I hope you enjoy! P.S. special thanks to the Westin Hotel for allowing us to utilize their facility for our shoot.

Ordinary People - Mrs. Clean

I know it's been a while, since we last posted something on this wonderful blog...thing is, we've been soo slammed. And would like to thank all of those who've been taking advantage of our freelance services. Below is the start of one of our creative journeys---Ordinary people. The thought behind this shoot, was to explore modern day simplicity and add a dab of flare. Our model for this shoot, was the lovely Angela. She was such a joy, and had the personality of --the girl next door. Not the Joey Potter type girl next door (Dawson Creek circa 90's for those who aint get that reference)...but the girl who's down for the cause, and just loves to have fun! She walked high and tall into that laundromat, carrying her basket of "unmentionables"...and in between cycles, struck a pose for us. What do think...is her look cleeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaannn or what :)

A very bad day...

So the team and I had two scheduled photo shoots. What happened leading up to that proposed time of our execution was nothing short of utter drama. All week...emphasis on ALL WEEK, there was not a drop of rain. Sunday arrives, and baaaaaaaaam, a monsoon hits. Wipes out all the hopes of us attaining our perfect double banger shoot. I will spare you the details of what these concepts were going to be, but believe me....they would've been "fierce". The team arrive for our meeting, you know to brush the dust off our shoulders and revamp for another day. There were a few choice words describing the day...(none of which appropriate for this here posting :) But what we did learn from all of this, is that we will have good days, we will have bad days...but most importantly, we stick together --- QUACK, QUACK, QUACK...(come on...classic mighty ducks quote). Anywho...enjoy the week friends, and keep coming back here. We have soo many exciting developments underway.

Green Tea Album coming soon!

Save the date: September 4 for Green Tea's sophomore album - Choices. This sista has a sound that is pure magic. She ALSO has great taste in Photographers and graphic designers...

Male model - Brantley

Let me tell you about my buddy, Brantley. The nicest guy you will ever meet, and so versatile in his delivery. We worked together one weekend on creating a miriad of looks for his portfolio...and in hopes of him getting signed. It was a pleasure to be his photographer...as I learn more and more how much my role can help give life to other's visions. Male models out there...if you are looking to enhance your portfolio...give P.I.C. a shout, and let us work our magic on you. Enjoy :)
