Neon Boneyard - Las Vegas

Here are a few of my favorites from the [b] School Neon Boneyard model shoot in Las Vegas that I got to take part in while I was in Vegas for WPPI.

The weather was a balmy 50 degrees and overcast but our models were all troopers! We did get a few moments that the sun would peak out from behind the clouds to create some great backlighting though!

Thanks so much to Chris & Allie Bartelski for organizing the photo shoot!

Bowl for Kids' Sake - Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa

Bowl for Kids' Sake is one of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa's(BBBSCI) main fund raising events of the year. It's a series of bowling parties held at a local bowling center. Each Bowl for Kids' Sake team is comprised of four to six individuals who raise money for BBBSCI. Once each bowler raises the minimum of $100, they're rewarded with two free bowling games and receive a complimentary bowling shoe rental. Each two-hour Bowl for Kids' Sake event is hosted by BBBSCI staff and includes music and fun prizes.

I'm a terrible bowler so I decided to donated my time and talent to document a bowling party this year at Plaza Lanes. Pictures below are from the Saturday, February 21st party that kicked off at 1pm. All images captured from the day will be donated to BBBSCI for promotion of next years event!

Neon Boneyard - Sneak Peak

I just got back from Las Vegas this afternoon from the WPPI Conference! I learned so much and had a great time meeting and learning from other very talented photographers in the industry.

I have lots to share but I wanted to share a quick sneak peak from the Neon Boneyard shoot that was organized through The [b] School while I was in Vegas.

Lots more to come....
