Tucson All Soul’s Procession 2011

I was very fortunate this year to be part of the official MMOS media group to cover this annual event.  Approximately 20,000 people attend this celebration and festival annually, and if you have never been, I strongly encourage you to participate next year.  The sense of community is beyond palpable, and the finalé is always a beautiful piece of performance art.  To find out more about the procession, please visit the official All Soul’s Procession website @ www.allsoulsprocession.org and www.manymouths.org

Below is just a sampling of some of the images I made for this year’s procession. Enjoy!

This mother and daughter were absolutely beautiful!

Tucson Woman’s Intimate/Boudoir Portrait Session

I prefer to view all human beings as true works of art, which is why I am always hesitant to use the term “boudoir” for any of my sessions.  My approach goes beyond this basic idea of the body just for the “bedroom” and that they way we celebrate ourselves.  This session was an amazing experience for me as a photographer.
