A few months back, I posted about how I took photos for little miss Paula Cortez and her band. They ended up using my photos for the cover of their CD that they recently released! It’s pretty cool to see my photos on an album cover, I’m not gonna lie. So last Friday (June 27), they had their CD release party at Deco Pizzeria and they asked me to photograph for them. Of course, I said yes. While I was there, I also filmed a bit to make a video for them! I had asked Paula what her favorite song off the album was so I could record that song to make it like a “live music video”. Below, you can find a few images from their performance as well as the video I threw together! Hope you enjoy it all & don’t forget to check them out everywhere! 🙂

Life Update

Hi guys! So… I just graduated! And I’m pretty bummed about it. At first, I was really excited because no more projects, no more stress, no more school… you know. But now that I think about it, I’m bummed because I have no more projects (and not so much bummed about the stress part). School was a good thing for me because it kept me working and in a constant groove of creativity. I’m a little worried about losing that but I’m going to try my best to keep at all my artistic talents even though school is over. That being said, I have been working on editing quite a few photos from recent shoots I had. Back in October, I took photos of my friend Paula Cortez and her band. Of course I had so much to deal with in school at this time so I never got around to editing them. With school being done now, I had the time to work on them. I also photographed two of my good friends for their graduation portraits and the lovely girls of KDChi at Our Lady of the Lake University. Links to my website for each shoot will be down below and for now, here are some previews! 😀 I hope you enjoy!

Paula Cortez EP Promos

Hey guys! So, with school starting up again and what not it’s been both easy and hard to get into the groove of things. I’m in my last semester of school so I’m about to put all I have into my thesis work for my show at the end of the semester (which you should totally come to.. cough cough). So, in the midst of trying to get organized with all the photos I have, and trust me I have lots, I figured I should probably get to editing the promo shots of little miss Paula Cortez for her new EP! I mentioned this shoot a few weeks ago in another post and just recently Paula was in the studio to record her EP! Be sure and support her when it’s all finished! But in the mean time, enjoy these few photos and click HERE to see more! Thanks for reading 🙂 and have a great day!

Hey guys, I haven’t posted in a while and that makes me sad. I need to get back in the groove of things! Anyway, my dear old friend Paula is working on releasing an EP pretty soon. She’s such a sweet girl and has a pretty awesome voice! It’s always so much fun taking pictures of her because she will laugh at literally anything I say or do. You should definitely check out her music at http://www.youtube.com/sayheypaula and enjoy this behind the scenes shot from today! Be on the lookout for her EP and photos soon! 🙂
