Denis and Katya - Djs

This was an unexpected shoot, i met Denis while walking with some other friends and he asked me to take some photos of him and his partner Katya for their new promo release. Something i have never done before but have seen JoeyL take tonnes of awesome promo shoots. Anyway we met up the next day for an hour and took some photos inside a bright room and then went outside to find a new building in the making. :)









a 4 group photoshoot

Max, Costea, Alina and Veronica all came together for a short photo shoot near Moldova's American Embassy. Max left with Sasha my brother in law to Fresno Pacific so i wanted to get a few shots for him and also for his family to have of him before he left. here they are:

The Kurganova Family

It was only my second ever family shoot and i was kind of nervous as the dad owns an ice cream company in the Ukraine and i had eaten tonnes of the stuff and so i felt i had to make up for all that eaten ice cream! we went right down onto the beach and took some shots of the whole family, some of the mummy and daddy and then some of the children and of little Inna their relative.









Aya THE LITTLE ONE:




Alla, Yana and Inna:








My Lesya :)

It had been a long time since id taken lots of photos of Lesya but at the beach we had plenty of time. She grabbed the famous hat that seemed to have been argued and pulled between all the 5 girls there but i think she won for half an hour anyway.

The props:



The super dooper good looking model: :)



and the photos:






So many babies!

While at the beach i got pretty busy on doing photo sessions of all the people there including the numerous amount of small children that seemed to pop up each day there and well i got asked to take some photos of them. I have to admit i take my hat off to all the children and baby photographers out there as its really difficult to take their photos when they just wont look at the camera! lol. and at one stage i thought the baby was going to hit me, check out the photos below.







but then Sasha had it all under control:
