Another milestone reached in my timeline of photography with the conclusion of documenting a memorial moment for St Joseph Church in Firebaugh, CA.

Sunday Jan 25th, 2009 was the date of an important day for the residents of Firebaugh as the naming and dedication ceremony took place for Fr. Craig Hall. I was commissioned to document this event and capture the moments as I normally do for events in regards to photography.

Father Craig  F. Harrison began the event by celebrating Mass with those who attended to participate in the ceremony. He then spoke a little with the people before the actual opening of the parish hall and then enjoyed the dinner and reception with everyone in side the hall. There was musical celebration, a feast, and several positive expressions of Thanks and memories revisited with Fr. Craig.

All in all... it was a great for Firebaugh and everyone who shared in the celebration

As for my photography for this event, I managed to constantly switch out between my kit lens and my 50mm. While the lighting was a bit of a challenge for me, it proved to be quite angelic in some areas and perfect for the mood I was trying to capture. I did find myself wishing I had a faster peice of glass but we can only make do with what we have at the moment. I am just grateful for the images I was able to produce.

Jenny Christ is another one of my repeat clients. She enjoys our sessions and the resulting images so much that she finds herself rescheduling other shoots. I believe this was my second shoot with her and we have a third scheduled for the near future.

My last session with her was purely indoors so this session we started to take it outdoors. I was a bit worried that the weather wasn't going to allow for us to work comfortably outside but it wasn't too bad and Jenny is a trooper who is up for pretty much anything. She is another easy to work with model.

This is session one of Kristie C. I met her at a local nightclub in Fresno, CA and she expressed interest in a photo shoot. I handed her my business card and we later scheduled a session. She said it was her first "professional" photo shoot and she could of fooled me because she did really well during the session.

The images from this session came out very well and she was very happy with the final images. So much that she has returned for a second session of more seductive posing and images. Keep checking back here or at the MySpace profile at MySpace.com/chican0 for the update of her second session.
