Holiday Party

On the 17th of this month I again had the pleasure to shoot the MedAssets holiday party at the Country Club of the South. It was a great time and attended by more than 500 people. Covering the entire CCS clubhouse there was plenty of food, entertainment, gaming tables and dancing. The images below are of the event decorations that were put together by Paul Brummer of Rooms in Bloom, the theme this year was meant to resemble a mountain ski lodge.

This post will probably be my last for the year so I want to take a moment and say thanks to all of you who follow my blog and to wish you a happy and prosperous new year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

How was your 2010 Holiday Party?

Okay, we’re almost done with the first month of a new year and expect a few more months before there is another official day off.  That thought, had me thinking back to last month and all the fun involved with the holidays and I was wondering…How was your holiday party?

If you worked for MedAssets, “fantastic” would be your reply.  I had the opportunity to shoot this party held at the Country Club of the South.  Designed by Paul Brummer of Rooms in Bloom, the theme of the party was “Moulin Rouge”.  The guests didn’t have to dress in costume, but all of the service personel, myself included, had to wear a beret to help set the Parisian mood.  I’ve seen (and been to) some fancy parties before, but this one easily topped all of them.

The entire clubhouse was decorated, and there was food and h’orderves on all levels and in multiple rooms.  Entertainment consisted of a Monte Carlo room for Texas Hold’em, a Casino room for other Vegas style games, an open bar and two dining rooms.  A live band, two caricaturists, two mimes roaming around doing what mimes do, and Liz and Rebecca of Wild Horse Studio painting the panels in the entryway, and sometimes a guest or two!  (see the last image)  Additionally, there were two traveling musicians playing a guitar at various locations during the evening.  All in all, a fantastic party!

Here are some images from that night.  Now don’t get jealous…

This is what greeted the more than 600 guests as they arrived at the clubhouse entrance.

A live band playing classic rock tunes, mimes, caricatures, and general fun throughout the venue.
(I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the ladies posing for a photo.  I was just too good!)

The facilities and food at the Country Club of the South are fantastic.  And so were the event decorations!

A good time was had by all involved!

So…How was YOUR holiday party?

Christmas 2010

It’s that great time of year when we all take some time to gather with friends and family.  And I’m looking forward to taking a bit of time off too.

With Christmas upon us, I thought you’d like an image that epioimizes the holiday.  Enjoy!

I want to wish the best to all of my friends, family and followers of this blog this holiday season.  I hope that you have a fantastic day and Santa brings you what you were hoping for.

P.S. In case you were wondering, this tree is not our’s.  It belongs to Paul Brummer of Rooms in Bloom.  Yes there are over 860 ornaments on that tree!

And for now…Ann and I wish y’all a

What’s been happening at the studio?

Wow!  Has it really been two months since I’ve posted to the blog?!  Either time flies when you’re having fun or I’m not very good at keeping you informed about what’s been happening at the studio.  I prefer to think it’s the former.

 

Well here’s what’s been happening at the studio.  Last month we started a new email newsletter that we’ll use as another way to keep you informed of upcoming events, specials and general news involving the studio.  If you’re interested you can sign up by clicking this link.  SIGN ME UP!  If you like it, forward it off to friends and family that you think would find it interesting.  Of course you may opt-out at any time if you wish.
 
The holiday season brought a visit from Santa Claus.  Circa History Guild had an Old Fashioned Christmas party at their location and I was able to shoot Santa…with my camera of course.  He was there visiting with the children for a couple of hours and this is one of the images from that shoot that we used on our Holiday Card.

Family Christmas images were busy also.  The Diaz family was particularly enjoyable to work with.  The girls, Kendall and Kayla, kept Ann busy while I shot Krystal and Mark.  Here’s the image they chose for their Christmas cards.

We also had numerous business clients in during this time.  Ivan Ruiz of Georgia Brace and Spine, who’s putting together a product catalog showing the different styles of back and body braces used after spinal surgery, is using a number of our images in their catalog which is being assembled by MMI Creative.
Melissa, Kelly, Chuck and Sam were in need of head shots for ads, new web pages, and business cards.  This is Melissa.

I took part in a Fire and Ice workshop.  Yes, fire and ice.  On day one, we built an array of six propane gas burners that were set up behind a model.  Then we lit them up.  We got some very interesting shots and we were kept busy keeping the place cool so as not to set off the fire alarm from the heat created by the burners.

The next day we built a set to hold the ice and water.  Two 350 pound blocks of ice were brought in and the models posed either in the water or on the blocks of ice or a combination of both.  I’ll just say they were troopers and I’m glad I wasn’t in that water.

That just about wraps up the last two months around the studio at di Sogno Photography.  As you can see it’s been busy.  I’ll endeavor to update it more often in 2009.  We’ll have some new things to talk about soon, so check back or add us to your RSS feed to get the updates automatically.
 
We hope you have had a great holiday and a safe and Happy New Year.
