Have I not updated any photos in quite some time. So I have a huge back log of images that I could be posting here and just not sure why I haven’t. So today I came across an old shoot I did with our good friend David Griffin, he supplied the models and we supplied the studio and lighting. Here are a few snaps I took, as soon as I remember everybody’s name I’ll update the post.

Come on down to what is going to be one of the biggest and best Photography and Modeling networking events in Southern California.

Smash Photo Studio is one of the sponsors so it would be great to meet and talk with other photographers and models.

What is Style Pose Click?
SPC is a networking event for Photographers, Models, Makeup Artists, Hair Stylists and Wardrobe Stylists. Pretty much anyone involved in the creation of amazing photo shoots!

Why Style Pose Click?
After the success of 4 smaller networking events in 2009, we felt like it was time to take the “meet-n-greet” to a whole new level. We strive to give artists a voice, a chance to learn and a place to been seen… the connections made at our events have proven to be invaluable.

When is Style Pose Click?
This event will take place on Sunday, May 16th 2010! From 10am-6pm. A full-day of networking possibilities!

Where is Style Pose Click?
We’ve leased out the entire property at the White House Event Center in Anaheim, CA for the event.

1238 S. Beach Blvd. Anaheim, CA 92804
(The White House Event Center is located in the back lot of Adventure City. It’s NOT the White House Restaurant.)
