The big news is that I was part of a reality show this week. I can’t reveal anything until it airs, sometime in December.
Pregnancy was the them as I have been very busy with some amazing future moms creating maternity portraits. I love it when they bring in some new ideas. Just when I think I’ve seen it all, they surprise me.
I was published again. This time in a national fashion magazine called Eliza. I did an underwater fashion shoot featuring retro swimwear.

Some interesting boudoir photo sessions also added to my schedule. Their custom books are going to arrive any day.
I also taught a lot of photography classes recently, including studio lighting workshop and fine art nude photography workshop.

The past 2 weeks have kept me so busy that I didn’t get a chance to post until now.
I’ve been doing a lot of teaching. Introduction to photography, Boudoir photography workshop, Introduction to Photoshop and lots of private lessons. To see what I am teaching next check out Orcatek Photography Workshops in Phoenix.
In between teaching I’ve had a lot of fun shooting. One of my favorites was a maternity pin-up photography session. As you can see, we had a lot of fun.

This week ahead is also swamped, which is good. Love it when I am busy.
So go ahead and book your class or photo session. Let’s keep this trend going.

In between the rain this past week, I’ve been very busy. Two days were spent teaching a fine art nude photography workshop. The workshop was a huge success. For more info on workshops, send an email to workshops@orcatek.com

Fine Art Nude Workshop
Numerous boudoir photo shoots took place here at the studio and a few on location. There were a few brides to be, a birthday and a anniversary shoot. All great reasons to give the gift he’ll never expect and never forget.

And the week wouldn’t be complete with out a few beautiful maternity photography clients. This week was no exception. Such an amazing group of woman this past week.

Next week is already filling up with magazine shoots, boudoir photo sessions and maybe a newborn if she delivers soon. It’s great being a photographer here in Phoenix with so many wonderful people.

Several students came to the studio for private photography lessons. A few were repeat students coming in to take more advance classes. I love teaching photography to enthusiasts.
Maternity photography was another busy area. Some very excited moms to be came in to capture their pregnancy bellies. Even some of the siblings got in on the act.

And of course there was a lot of boudoir photography for Valentines that kept my very busy. So many amazing woman gave such a personal gift to that special man in their lives.

Business is growing slowly but surely. I have recently expanded my boudoir photography into Las Vegas. With it being a popular destination for so many, it makes it the perfect place for boudoir photos.

With the approach of Valentines day I am being kept busy with boudoir photography. After all, it does make a great gift for Valentines day.

Still getting a lot of maternity clients too. It seems pregnancy photos are hot this time of year.
And I have also a few of my maternity clients returning to get photos of their newborn babies.
It has been a great week to be a photographer, as I have had some amazing clients.

As I mentioned last week, this December has been packed with maternity photography clients. Each one has been so much fun to work with. The excitement of a new baby coming into a family is a wonderful thing to share.
Of course I always provide the standard pregnancy photos, but I love it when I can create a unique set of maternity images for a client that they couldn’t get anyplace else. One of my clients was really into this idea and got an amazing selection of images. This is one of my favorites.

A few lighting tricks to create this spotlight effect created this shadow. Amazing flexibility for someone who is 9 months pregnant. This is the kind of fun I love to have as a photographer.
In between these photo sessions I have been swamped with students taking private photography lessons. It seems a lot of people want to learn how to take better photos for the holidays and like the idea of a private class on how to use their camera. I enjoy teaching these budding photographers a few tricks of the trade to help them make their photos better.
I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season.

This weeks favorite shoot was a maternity photography session. A young couple came to the studio to capture the memory of this special time in their lives. Pregnancy happens so few times in your life. If you follow my work you know I love to create silhouettes for my maternity sessions.

This week I created a silhouette of the couple together. A thought it was a fun way to capture the love this couple shares with each other and for their new baby.
Next week I will be shooting some more maternity photography for another wonderful future mom.
