Gearing up for the KIDs workshop




Photos posted are from this weekend we had two days of Pinup Lighting workshop and it went well and stayed organized. We know that everyone will have different photos and many great images to add to their portfolio. We had 30 photographer and 16 models along with 7 MUAs and 6 Studio Instructors/mentors come help with all the questions and setup. This is something that we plan to repeat in the fall. Check out the photos from this event on this link.

Gearing up for the KIDs workshop This Saturday we are doing a KIDs workshop photo shoot to replicate the photos and styles of Famous Photographer Kim Anderson. His style and technique can’t be matched but we are going to try to achieve a similar look. We have 15 to 20 people coming out for a few hours to work on this. Some of the kids have purchased a KIDS book that will mailed to them with their photos added in a published book just for them.

Onetalentsource.com Forum Update
This weekend if you went on the forum you might have found it down because of the upgrade for the software. We did remove the BLOG option since it was not being used. They did give us some new options that everyone will love once they get looking around. Uploading photos and links are much more easies.

New OTS Business Card Two years ago I ordered OTS Business Cards and it took that long to go though 1000 business cards. I reordered and I also changed the look of the card. Here is what the new cards look like.

Gearing up for the Sweet Tart Pinup;

Gearing up for the Sweet Tart Pinup;

It’s going to be a long weekend of sweet tarts. We have a big studio set up with mentors, instructors and rotation of models for Saturday and Sunday. We hope you look for more photos to be posted. We are all packed and ready to pick up the pastries tomorrow. We did have one model cancel and replaced in the same hour. There are two more openings for photographers and we are closing it tomorrow at noon.

Let’s talk Kids Story Book photo shoot. It’s next weekend and we are really excited about trying our some new techniques with the kids.
Here is an example. Photo by Kim Anderson














We have about 12 kids signed up and we still have a few openings available for photographers on Feb 27th.

Last weekend we got to test our some three point lighting techniques; with some bribery of pizza and gas money, Brittany came over to be the test model for this activity. Here are a few from that shoot.


We met up with Dixie on the Beach to do the SOS AD shoot. We just kicked it off the Swimsuit Mega Photo Shoot. Here is the AD for it. We are doing Model Calls on different Sites for this SOS Mega Photo Shoot.

Ohhhh you missed a Great ALICE shoot if you didn’t see the photos posted. Here are a few from ALICE. We are looking to do a repeat ALICE photo shoot soon. We had Alice on the coolest day in TX. Well, almost the coolest day.
