We Work, You Enjoy

I went to a friend of mine, Salim's, office which is called "We Work" located in Charlotte, NC.  I snapped a few shots there for his website promotion of his business, Uroboros Mediations.  Sit back and enjoy the simple pleasures of his work space.

                          
   

Love is in the Air!

How appropriate for the month of February to do a blog post about a lovely proposal!  These are my friends, Chris and Mandy.  I did this little photo shoot after Chris proposed to his girlfriend, now fiancé of course! Chris planned out every little detail to the T; the amazing wall of balloons he created, the roses, the candles, the outfit, the music, the speech, the timing and as you can see, it paid off.  Congratulations Chris and Mandy and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to capture this wonderful string of moments. 

We're Delvin' into the Elven World!

This is my good friend, Jessica!  She is actually the DM of my DnD group that I've mentioned about in the previous post.  As you can see, we really wanted to delve into the fantasy and mystical world of Jessica's inner-elf!  My favorite type of shoot is conceptual.  I used to do a lot more of those when I was in college for all of our themed projects.  My goal for this year is to really capture and produce more of that sci-fi/fantasy and quite definitely nerdy notion that I enjoy so much. ;)

We're Rolling in the Dark!

Get it?  Because of the dice?  Alright, I'll stop.  You guys know I can't resist a good pun.  If you didn't know, I'm actually a part of a Dungeons & Dragons group!  These dice were for our DnD meeting the evening I shot this and I loved how they looked against the Jack-O-Lantern especially with Halloween only being a few weeks away.

So Fresh & So Clean

When I'm not doing photography, I also work part-time doing customer sales and marketing for a company called Maid Right.  I've been working on video tutorials for the cleaners there to use.  This is the first one I've done.  I'm really starting to enjoy doing some videography and hope to make more soon! :)

These 2 Make a Wonderful Pear!

Mmmm chocolate pear with vanilla ice cream sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.  I don't know about you, but I LOVE desserts.  Nothing is ever too sweet or rich for me.  I shot this recently at an Elm St. Grill wine dinner and after it had been photographed, I definitely dove in!

These Earrings are A-mason-ing!

So, that was probably a horrible pun, but I'm desperate for blog post titles on this one.  I was playing around shooting earrings in an organic way.  What do ya think?
