City of Dreams?

The night before I left Vegas, I was able to squeeze in one last shoot w/ Jessie, one of the models I’d worked with at my Neon Graveyard shoot (more on that in later posts…) I wanted to create more of a concept for myself so that I wasn’t just shooting pictures of a beautiful model standing in random locations. I thought it might be fun to create a “story” that Jessie could have fun with during our session.


The storyline we loosely followed was the idea that Jessie was a runaway who came to Vegas to make her fortune as a Vegas showgirl – sort of an Innocence vs. The Gritty Reality of Life kind of thing…

Since Jessie so thoroughly ROCKS as a model she clicked into the concept immediately, and patiently half-froze to death while creating her persona on a none-too-warm Vegas evening.

Oh, and by the way... you can’t hate her because she’s beautiful, because she’s also a laid-back, down-to-earth, absolute sweetheart of a human being! So, for any modeling talent scouts out there who might happen to wander across my blog, (hey, it could happen!) let me know so I can give you her contact information so you can make her famous!

One last photo of Jessie while she was turning heads (literally - I thought people were going to hurt themselves by spraining their necks or bumping into each other) on a lowly Vegas pedestrian bridge.

As usual, there are more images from this shoot that my Bad Blogger self may or may not eventually get around to posting :-) We shot some fun stuff inside the MGM as well, which might make its way to Blogland!


And Jessie - I give you a huge THANKS for being such pure delight to work with, and I'm sorry I stole your hair ties... :-(
