Techatticup? Thankfully I’m able to type this post, because I’m afraid you may stop following my blog if you had to listen to me struggling to pronounce that word. I may not be able to say Techatticup with ease but I had no difficulty shooting it! Of course, having the georgous Jessie as the main subject was not so shabby either.
This gem of a location is nesstled right on the edge of Nelson, Nevada, a tiny unsuspecting town about an hour from Vegas and about two minutes before the border of nowhere. It really was a photographers heaven, I could have spent a week shooting the great old treasures scattered about, it gave a whole new meaning to desert oasis!
This shoot had a bit of everything- fashion, boudoir… and would make an awesome (and one of kind) spot for senior portraits.
Vegas Recap : Day 4, Part 2
Here is a sample of Jessie’s bridal shoot at the Boneyard… I’m keeping this post a little lighter because you’ll be seeing much more of Jessie next week when I post her shoot from a couple days after this one out in Nelson, Nevada, and trust me it’s not to be missed (check out the header for a preview). Until then, enjoy Jessie rockin’ it out with the neon signs.

Vegas Recap : Day 2, Part 1
So in my last post I believe I referred to my Vegas housemates as “pure greatness”, and I’m confident I could go on and on about how that’s so but I may lose your attention. So here’s just a little proof for you, when I walked into the kitchen Sunday morning Pat (affectionately known as Tom Brady) was making PANCAKES! He even did the dishes afterward, what a terrific start to the day.
After a tasty breakfast a few of us had planned on going to a large shoot out in Nelson for the afternoon but, to my dismay, it was canceled. That was two shoots in two days that something had gone wrong, I was starting to become a bit worried. So with nothing but time on our hands Cailyn and I set out for a drive. We decided to cruise the strip, which takes a surprisingly long time to do!
It turns out there was no need for my morning worry after all. Last minute shoot, in the middle of nowhere- I’m in!
These photos are of Jessie. She is an aspiring model in Virginia beach, personally I think she should drop that “aspiring” part. You’ll be seeing more of her on the blog later because I had the privilege to shoot with her twice more last week!
I had a very specific goal with these images, from the way I shot to the way I post processed. Something about Jessie’s dress, peace earrings, great hair, and the surroundings just screamed “modern retro”. I realize I wasn’t even born in the era we now call “retro” but I imagine these pictures would be something I’d want to see while flipping through a 1971 issue of Vogue.
More stories and pictures from day 2 to come…
