I close my eyelids quickly, pretending they are the shutter. When I open them, I have an image burned into my brain.  I crave the feeling and sound of the shutter closing and can’t wait for the next opportunity to pick up my camera and experience that sensation once again.

The gratifying nature of this experience is only amplified when I have beautiful things to photograph. Last week I was able to spend time with Tess and Nicole, two lovely models. It was a spur of the moment shoot that involved little to no planning, but I am so glad it worked out the way it did. I’ll shut up now and let the images tell you about our day…

In case you don’t know, the boneyard is the place where all of the neon signs from Vegas go to retire. It’s little more than two dirt fields, but oh what glorious dirt fields they are! The lots are full of neon signs and it really is a site to behold.

Here are a few images from that shoot. All of the females in these shots are models and the two boys are their respective boyfriends/fiancés, which was fun! I have several more to post, but wanted to give a little sneak peek. Enjoy!
