Anthony David Agency | Model Shoot

We had three of Anthony David Agency's new models in for a mini portfolio shoot last month and here are the goods.

There are several more great shots to come sometime soon but these are their choices to add to their respective portfolios.
We were shooting for two different looks so we did a stylin headshot type look and a creative personality look.

Heather Rouba, (Mrs Oklahoma 2009) has been coordinating the shoots and coaching the models as the new agency director. She has some amazing talent herself and in who she is working with.
(see some images of her in the previous fashion/ modeling post below)

Ashley & Andrew // Pre-Release

We made the trek down to the quaint little town of Paris, TX last weekend for Ashley & Andrew's wedding. It rained the whole day but probably the closest to dry it was all day, we took a tour of Paris with the wedding party. Not one complaint! Good job people!

Here is a shot I have in my back pocket for all last year in case it rained. I never needed it till now, but still it is pretty cool huh?

Elise & Mason // Pre-Release

Elise and Mason braved the 16° temps for this shot in front of this artistic front door of St. Monica Catholic Church.
This was a fun wedding with both clients I have worked with previously and more that I will in 2010 in the wedding party.

Mike & Lindsay // Pre-Release

Mike and Lindsay had a super stylin' evening in December. Full blog post to come...
Here is one great moment from their ceremony in the Venetian Room on the Skirvin Hilton's 14th Floor.

The Brides of Oklahoma Magazine // Ashley & Josh's Featured Wedding

I got our semi-advance copies of The Brides of Oklahoma Magazine today. It is stunning. My first and biggest impression is how many world class event design and photographers we have in the state! Congrats to my friends and colleagues and of course to Kami, Ashley, Alli and the rest of the team at the mag for a monumental achievement again this year. Amazing editorial shoots planned and designed and perfect choices on the features... KIDDING!!! I am very honored to have another wedding this year chosen as one of the four Brides of the Seasons. Of course the biggest thank you goes to Ashley and Josh White for providing the beautiful day along with Judy Lehmbeck for the coordination and design. Check the last page of the feature below for the rest of the talented pros involved.

I was also a part of a stunningly stylish table scape shoot with the incomparable Zinke Design. [below]

This image came from a shoot I did with Meg Guess for her 2010 ad (below). The model is Bonnie DeLany. Check out the making of video posted below shot by Andrew Smith | Smith Pixels.

Fashion, Modeling, Headshots, & Commercial

I stopped by the new Anthony David Agency Modeling Casting Call this morning to meet several of the new models that Heather Rouba and Anthony David are potentially working with. This is a new agency started by two of the best and most experienced in their fields. Heather is reigning Mrs. Oklahoma and I have had the honor of shooting her headshots and lifestyle photos for both the Oklahoma Competition and National Pageant. Anthony has a smash hit business with a salon and several hair design academies in OKC.

So for the models I met this morning, here is a partial portfolio and pricing.

If you are or will be working with Anthony David Agency, please ask Heather or me about special programs we have available to get you a killer portfolio!
