Shelly and Daughter beach shoot

These were taken a couple of weeks ago with Shelly and Camille. These two were so much fun! The weather was a little better than the last beach shoot I did, but it was still a bit overcast. It made the lighting nice, but still created a grey background. Oh well, a fair trade in my opinion. Enjoy!

Finished boudior pic

This is a pic from the Niki series that I really liked and thought I would share...

-update...added a few more from the finished series...

The other lass

Here are some samples of Niki from the same night. These were a blast to do and I look forward to more sessions with Victoria and Niki! Thanks to you both for your time.

Due to a request from the client, pictures have been removed.

First Boudoir Shoot

I had the most awesome opportunity to do a shoot for Victoria and Niki who wanted some boudoir shots for their guys. This was an incredible evening, the ladies are very cool and we had a lot of fun with the shoot. I still have a lot to go through, but here are a few of Victoria to start. It was an educational experience as far as dealing with lighting and some limitations on my current equipment. It started to get very difficult once I lost natural light. Overall the pics came out very nice though.

--Update--

I had a request to take the pics down for now, some may make their way back, but for now I will only be able to show the pics privately.

First Paid Shoot!!!

This couple (Amanda and Warren) found me on craigslist and wanted a beach shoot while they were visiting Monterey. They were a lot of fun, but very goofy which shows in some of their pics. It really shows who they are. This was also my first shoot of someone that is pregnant, so that added a little bit of a challenge to my session. Overall I think it went well. The full gallery is at www.ianelliottphotography.com/amandaandwarren.

Toro Park Shoot

Finally, some portraits to add to my portfolio. Spent a couple hours at toro park with these two ladies, Brianna and Nikki. We had a lot of fun and I got some really great shots. Most likely this will be the last free shoot I do, unless friends ask very nice. =) Enjoy. The full album is posted at www.ianelliottphotography.com/toro.

Wedding in Portland

This is a little late, but during the first weekend of May 2009, I went up to assist with a wedding in the Portland area. The couple is young and very spunky which made for a fun afternoon. Here are some samples. My website is still in the works, shouldn't be too much longer now.

Wedding Pictures

Today was a wonderful day. My good friends got married this morning and I ended up taking pictures for almost 3 hours. This was broken up by a champagne brunch which was absolutely delicious. The pictures were taken at the U.C. Berkeley botanical gardens. I don't think I was intended to shoot for as long as I did, but it just happened. I had a great time and I am very happy that I was able to get so many good shots. I took some of the best photos yet, and I am very excited to get them sorted and processed so I can post a full album. Below are a couple that I really liked and wanted to just get something posted. I have over 200 photos to go over, but I will get through them as quickly as possible.

January shoot

This was one of my last shoots in Portland on the waterfront. It was very cold that day, probably in the 30's or so. We had a lot of fun even though we tried to get through the shoot a bit quick because we were all freezing.

Engagement Session

This is my second photo shoot. My friends Alan and Margaret helped me out and are a lovely couple. We had a lot of fun during this session and I got quite a few fun poses and some very sweet expressions. I am looking forward to going to their wedding in Mexico, it's going to be a blast!!
