We now have a Makeup Artist on Staff!!

Frozen Image Photo, LLC — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 21:28:06 +0000

Brielle McKenna, new to Fairbanks, is a professionally trained makeup artist from Los Angeles, California. For 6 years she has worked in the entertainment industry on TV, Movie, Music Video, and Photography shoots, and is repeatedly requested for Wedding services. What does this mean for you?

We now have an experienced, talented makeup artist available to help you look your best in photos. Brielle works hands on with you and us and will provide you with the “celebrity treatment”. Photography makeup requires certain products and techniques, not something just anyone can provide. Here’s what makes her different from others:

Your foundation will be airbrushed. Airbrushing is a Pro technique that applies a thin but effective veil of foundation over the skin which provides hygienic, flawless, and naturally beautiful coverage. Color is custom mixed to match your exact tone.

She will be on-location which means your makeup will be done at the shoot and she will be available for touch ups and changes if needed.

Makeup used is only of the highest, photo-ready quality, which is best not only for you but for the way your photos will turn out. Inexperiance and using low end products can make the photographer’s job much more difficult.

Your makeup design is expertly tailored to enhance your features, tones, and the effect or idea you want for your photo. You don’t get the “same look” with the “same colors” as every other person that walks through the door.

You can find Brielle’s website here www.briellemckenna.com

Brielle has been doing a lot of makeup here over the past few weeks. Everyone loves her (not as much as we do!) and what she is able to do. We look forward to a long friendship and working relationship with her. Welcome to the family Bree!!

We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

“Tattoo Chronicles”

Frozen Image Photo, LLC — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 21:24:56 +0000

Every year we get into doing personal projects. Especially during winter. This year, we are doing something we have wanted to do for a long time! We have started our “Tattoo Chronicles”. This project does not have a time limit and we will continue it for sometime into the future. Basically, we want to showcase the art form of Tattooing in a sexy, edgy, modern kind of way. Mix our artistic style with another artistic style. So far, the 2 have blended well! As of now you can see images on our Facebook page but we will dedicate a section of our website to this soon!

We do also book sessions for this as well. “Tattoo Chronicles” sessions are limited because they are a free project that we do not charge for. We do them as we can. However, if you are proud of your ink, want to show it off and have creative, amazing artwork created by us……call us

Either way, we are proud to announce to the world……

Meet Rachel……. a.k.a Roxanne!

Frozen Image Photo, LLC — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 06:57:36 +0000

About 2 years ago I was down at the shooting range. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big competitive handgun shooter. Rachel’s dad (Bob), comes down one evening and introduces me to his daughter, Rachel. We talk. We shoot. We go home. A week later I am back at the range and Bob drives up. He and his daughter get out of the truck. Me, being terrible at names, says “Hey bob”, “Hi Roxanne!”. She looked at me weird and says, “Hi Curtis!”. Since then we have been Roxanne and Curtis to each other. All of that to say that if you see any comments referring to ‘Curtis’ she is actually referring to me…..Chris

It has been a lot of fun but nowhere near as much fun as our photo shoot a few days ago! “Roxanne” was amazing and Bob was great to have there! He added a level of comfort and humor that was certainly welcome! All in all a great day.

Enjoy the photos and we look forward to any comments you have!!!

Hey there. I got up this morning and did the usual run through email, Facebook, returned messages, and then I realized…..I haven’t published any photos recently on the blog! I guess not everyone (not sure who!) has a facebook account. That seems to be where many of our images end up these days. So, all that being said, here are some images of our recent work! I’m off to do corporate headshots in the studio then back on location with a high school senior Love what we do!!!

Thanks for looking!

We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

Anna and some toys!!

Frozen Image Photo, LLC — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 22:29:03 +0000

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Anna. She heard I could photograph people with their cars and was good at it So, we sat down talked about her ideas, what she wanted to accomplish and we set the date. Last week we were battling rain, heavy clouds, cooler temperatures, and generally ugly weather (for a photo shoot anyway!). The morning of the shoot Anna called me……”what do you think?” she asked….it was raining! “Let’s hold on, it’s gonna clear up” I told her. In case it didn’t we were still going to do it! I put 60 gallons of water in my truck, towels, etc. Assuming the cars (which were detailed) would get dirty in the drive, we were going to wash them right before we photographed each one

Well, it cleared up! The temperature was perfect, clouds opened enough to let some sunshine through and the bugs were in full effect! I loaded the gear into the truck and headed out. It was almost an hour drive to the location we decided on. A great location though!

Setup was pretty basic. I had two lights and home made battery packs to run them at full power. Anna had her Corvette, Challenger, Harley and a few outfits. 4.5 hours later…. we had some pretty amazing images! Despite our best effort to find a road with little (or no) traffic we ended having to move the car and lights on a regular basis. A lot more traffic than we thought That’s a large reason it took so long. Setup, move it, setup, move it, setup, move it, etc, etc

At the end of the day we had accomplished what we set out to do. Here are a few of my favorites! I look forward to any comments!!

Another Gold Mine!

Many people have been here and some haven’t. Either way, I’ve never seen it rocked like this

After conspiring for about a week Teresa and I made it out to this shoot late last week. The weather was beautiful, batteries were fully charged, gear was packed, Teresa had her wedding gown, hair and makeup done…… it was perfect. Then, of course, we got there and the work began! If you’ve never carried 100+ lbs of gear for a half mile over tailing piles…. I’ll save you the headache….It’s not fun! lol We both hated rocks that day. But, we made it, got the gear onto the dredge and got started. We scouted locations for light and scenery, I setup gear, she got into dress and we began! We had quite a few ideas but only so much time. If her poor dress ever gets back to looking normal again there may be a part 2!

The shoot went pretty well. I applaud Teresa for being as brave as she was (is!). I only had one idea that she looked at me like I was crazy! However, she agreed to do it in bare feet. Something about wearing 4 inch heals to walk out on a 6 inch “I” beam. A small misstep would result in falling at least 75 feet to a rock quarry! Fighting off at least a billion mosquitos, stink bugs and flies is normal around here. It just comes with the territory! The rotten wood decks, broken glass, and almost rolling off a ledge to an 80 foot drop…. not so much But, it was all part of our day. In the end, we got the shots we were after.

Taking the time to do photo shoots like this is really important to us. Initially, it’s a blast! But is also gives us the ability to experiment, learn and grow. Doing new things often sparks a new level of creativity! On that note, enjoy the photos and we look forward to your comments!

We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

Many of you know that I was down in Cincinnati about a week ago. For those that didn’t know….. I was I made the trip down to take advantage of another photography learning experience. I’ve been doing this about 4 times a year. Not because I have lots of extra time and money but because we want to stay current with our techniques, abilities, equipment, trends, services and so on. That being said, we have also managed to work with, assist and shoot with some of the largest names in the industry. For example, in Cincinnati I worked with Joe Grimes, Lindsay Adler, Ed Pingol, Kevin Hudson, Dave Cross, Mark Fitzgibbons, and Dan McClanahan…. just to name a few! What does this mean for you? Well, I am pulling information, education and building my abilities (for you!) from some of the most amazing minds photography has! We have been inspired in ways we never imagined. We have also been fortunate enough to make many friends on our journey and are very thankful for them!

We expect this summer to be pretty amazing. We’re anxious to get things rolling. There’s a lot going on around here and you may even see some construction while you’re here. No worries though, it won’t interfere with any portraits efforts!! Frozen Image and My Diva Within are growing at an amazing rate and we need things around here to grow with them!

In the coming weeks the Class of 2012 will be receiving our annual mailing. We book our entire summer with high school seniors and love every minute of it! This year we are planning on doing a lot more location sessions! We can’t wait to see you all

For now, I have more work to do and it can’t get done with my fingers on this keyboard! Here are a few images I created while I was in Cincinnati. -Thanks again!

We look forward to exceeding your expectations!
