Rayna DeMae Gogh

A few weeks ago the burlesque performer Rayna DeMae Gogh asked if I would do a photo shoot for her of old-glam style head shots and costume shots.

I've been teaching a photography class at JMU and, as the saying goes, I'm learning as I teach.  I've learned some new lighting techniques recently and I was excited to try them out.

The following are the photos from our session.   I had a blast, the burlesque ladies are always so much fun to shoot.

Valerie and Scott

Back during the summer my friend Katie Mitchell asked if I'd be interested in doing photography for a story she was going to be writing about Valerie and Scott of Larkin Arts fame. We had a lovely evening hanging out with Valerie and Scott at their home.  They made a wonderful dinner.  The story ran today, but they weren't able to include all of the photos, so here are the pictures not included in the blog post.
