The Women of Petticoats, Mayham and Seduction

Better known as The Women of P.M.S.

Every woman knows that at some time during any given month we can go from Dr. Jekyll to Mrs. Hyde.  During this time our minds can snap and another person can seem to take over our bodies. 

During this time who knows what might happen...

{ SAPP } is doing a 5 print black & white series.  Each print will represent a woman and her P.M.S. altered ego.  Each will also have a man who will have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Or possibly have said the wrong thing at the wrong time.  Who knows?  What we do know is that he is the victim...or is she?  Only The Women of P.M.S. know the truth :::wink:::

Here are the topics for the series:

1. Poker Game
2. Romantic Dinner
3. A Gift
4. Valentine's Day
5. Night on the Town

  • Each photo/topic will have a location (either studio or on location)
  • We will discuss with each model/rep to go over outfit/costume and shoot ideas so everyone is comfortable the day of shoot
  • We are working on clothing props (hats, scarves, jewelry) however, due to different shapes and sizes we are asking each model to bring their own outfit
  • We will provide hair & make-up

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A NON-COMMISSIONED/NON-PAYING SHOOT
You will receive a copy of your photos along with the edits on a CD

We are circling for the shoot to begin October 23rd.  When we speak to each person we will work a schedule around your availability and location availability.

We look forward to working with you and appreciate your help in making this a successful shoot.

The Sound of Music

It's beautiful days like today that leave my creative side struggling to get every idea that I have onto paper and out of my head.  Today's creativity seem to revolve around music.  I must say, that this does happen often in my world and all because music is a large part of my life.  I could not imagine what it would be like to never hear a musical note again.  Or to have never had the pleasure of ever hearing one note. 

I am thankful that I can hear and feel the beat of a drum or an electric riff bleeding from a guitar.  I even wrap myself in the sultry sounds of an acoustic rhythm guitar or a haunting violin.  It's music in general that I fancy.

So today's topic with myself as I was driving home from dropping my sons football gear off at the school was...what song sings your name?  Not really sings your name but, what song can you relate to when it is played on the radio.  What song has friends saying, "OMG, that is so you!"?  What about a relationship song?  Is there one song that makes you smile because it is all about your passion and love for someone?  Or that song that brings back a memory whether good or bad? 

Then there is the music that speaks to our intimate side...our romantic side...our altered ego.  Yeahhhh...you know the one!  That one song that brings out the animal in us during the heat of intimacy ::smile::

I find that music is a must during a photo session.  Music can set the mood, ease the comfort level and enhance your over all experience.  We have collected a wide genre of music and when we sit down and do our One-on-One consultations one question we ask is what type of music would you like to listen to during your session?  Even kids have a keen ear for music and again, we want everyone to feel comfortable and at home when visiting the studio. 

So whether you song of the day is an island feel with Bob Marley drifting through the air or the screaming guitar of Pantera.  Music creates memories just like the "click" of a camera.  No matter what your ear is tuned for we will make sure to have it playing when you walk through our door.

"Let the feel of the music feed your soul and embrace your heart. Let the tune tap your toes and snap your fingers. Let the music create a memory." - Me :)
