Ok so I know I haven't blogged in like a month. But last month was really busy. And so right now I have a little time to try and play catch up. So this is my attempt.
I lucked out and got to shoot Miranda Lambert again. This time with Blake Shelton at the Texas Stampede. The paper covered her yet again and I love them for it! She's awesome every time I get to shoot her, I always get some great shots.
I have to say they were quite awesome with giving us 6 songs to shoot 2 songs of each and then 2 of them together. So while waiting between numbers we got to see about 10 songs in total. That was also cool because normally deadlines mean I don't get to see alot of the shows I shoot. I lucked out with her playing an early show in April though and got to watch a good chunk of the set.
The toughest thing about this shoot was the Stampede stage is always so tall, plus their sound wedges. So I shot blindly alot, holding my camera up and over them to get shots. And I got a pretty awesome one too. So as risky as it is to shoot like that, sometimes you luck out and get cool stuff. Anyway enough with my rambling. Here are some shots from the show.
So earlier in November I also got to shoot Melissa Lawson, the most recent winner of Nashville Star. She's also Arlington High alumni, so woohoo there! Also she's ridiculously nice because she was sitting behind us at the Carrie Underwood show, so I chatted with her a little. But here are some pictures from that and Melissa rocking to Hit Me With Your Best Shot.
And to top off this Countryfied entry I got to shoot Nascar which was a new experience. I've never really delved into to sports. But I enjoyed it, I even made friends with some of the Ryan Newman crew at Billy Bobs the night before the race, because while I was there working and shooting Melissa Lawson, they were making their annual visit to the Honky Tonk. But here are some photos from the Nascar Weekend..
Ok I'm gonna wrap it up with that for now! I have lots more to come. Latin Grammys, Amy Grant, Kelly Clarkson & Reba McEntire, Coldplay, Graham Colton, Project H, and several Kidd Kraddick guests!
Happy New Year Everyone!
Rachel
