Trash the Dress!!!!

We went out to the dry lake bed just outside of Boulder City, NV yesterday to do a Trash the Dress shoot. This was done for a woman celebrating one year divorced! Maybe a little bit of a different twist on the Trash the Dress movement, but she swears it was cathartic! Take a look and see how much fun we had. Oh, and the dry lake bed...wasn't so dry. SMILES!

Arts District Photo Safari

Today I joined a friend on a photo safari in the downtown area of Las Vegas. Well, actually we ended up in The Arts District. I have been in Vegas for almost 18 years and it is my first time in this area! Another oops. But now I have been there and will go more often. Here is a photo from the area... looking forward to doing shoots there soon.

Techatticup, Nevada

I am excited to have found a new location to do some shoots. It is located less than an hour from Vegas and has more scenery in one location than I have found in this area. From delapidated barns, to planes dive-bombed in the ground, to old cars. And only a few minutes down the road is the beautiful Colorado River with more beautiful scenery. Here are just a few pictures of the area. Enjoy!

Intimate Photography - Boudoir

I have been debating whether I wanted to add boudoir shoots as an option for my photography. I decided I should at least try it and found a willing model who was excited to help me out. I did not want to have the average boudoir shoot, but rather I was going for a piece of fine art that a woman would be excited to hang in her home. The end result? Well, duh. Why did I wait so long? Take a look at just a few of the shots we took.

Scenery

I have been working on some of the scenery shots I took this summer. I wanted to share how much I LOVE Photoshop! It can help a photographer take some good shots and make them really stand out! Here are a few examples of what I mean.

Studio Fun!

Well, it's been a while since I have posted a blog. So, I am going to be posting a few, starting with some Studio Fun this past April.

I had a group of models come so I could shoot some high key portraits and some very fun pictures were captured. If you have ever been to The Picture People, you have seen high key photography. They shoot almost everything they do in high key format. There is no going wrong with high key. It is a flattering lighting situation for almost everyone. Take a look...this is Nicole and she modeled for some senior pictures. She was fun and great to work with! She brought a few props and various outfits, which is always good to have with senior pictures. Doing location shots are also a favorite with seniors.

She also brought her niece...who was adorable! AND her sister.

It was a great day of shooting with these ladies. Check out my website www.bookyourpicturesnow.com for more high key shots.

Photographing Chow Chows

Welcome back to Tracey Ford Perry Photography! This weekend I had the opportunity to do a pet photo shoot. I had the pleasure to work and photograph three beautiful Chow puppies. Their owner is a World Champion Breeder and his dogs attend and win dog shows all over the world! Needless to say, the puppies were absolutely beautiful! Here is just one of the photos capturing the doll-like face of one of his champion breed pups. Doesn't he look like a giant teddy bear?!



Gotta love the pet photography aspect of this job!
