Fall Out Boy/Cobra Starship
So Mid April Fall Out Boy's Pete and Patrick stopped by Kidd Kraddick. Still as nice as the time they came in before. Pete was quite chatty as well, which was cool. He showed me his new tattoo of Texas and I believe a yellow rose. Cobra Starships Gabe and Ryland made a surprise appearance. Kellie is in love with, and if you listen to the show you probably know that. So that was very cool.

Forever the Sickest
Back in April I was fortunate enough to shoot the Forever the Sickest Kids show. This band hails from Dallas so I guess I should have shot them more than I have. But I haven't. This was however one of the first time's they've had pretty good lighting though. And with the way this band moves all over the place it's necessary. In the first song Jonathan had already broken his microphone stand and it was tangled in his microphone cord, nearly decapitating myself and the other 2 photographers in the pit as he just dragged it along on stage with him.
This band was way fun to shoot though. The kind of band you could shoot multiple times and not get bored at all. So major kudos and thank you Forever the Sickest Kids for making fun and a challenge. Those are always the best shoots.
Ok here are a few pics, and there's a few more at my flickr!
I'm hoping to get Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship, and Hey Monday up soon. Oh and Fall Out Boy at Kidd Kraddick.
Later Yall

Gavin Degraw.. Yes Again
So in April I went to see/shoot Gavin Degraw again, this tour titled "Where It Began" was full of new material off his latest album "Free." It wasn't your traditional Gavin show, it was a more mellow stripped down show, and back to his old ways of having a different set list every night, which is awesome. There was no barricade it was up close and personal. Oh and also! He didn't wear his hat at first.. proving to the world he has hair! Sure I knew that already, but a lot of people didn't. Even Perez Hilton was amazed.
The show picked up energy at the end though. Gavin rocking out on the piano as usual. So all in all a great show yet again. Sure this is a biased opinion because he's one of my favorites, but the guy's got soul. I'm crossing my fingers for the day he'll cover "Let's Get It On" again and get up and do the splits then sing you give me good feelings without a microphone like he did the first time I saw him.
Here's a few shots. Lots more on my flickr! Go check them out. :)
I've got some Forever the Sickest Kids on the way! I'm hoping to shoot No Doubt on Saturday! Crossing my fingers for that one! So excited they're back.

Nascar Spring 09
Nascar was last month, and that's always fun to shoot, my ears got burnt pretty good though. It's definitely grueling, but I feel like I learn something each time I go out there. As you all well know I don't shoot a whole bunch of sports. And ok I'll admit it, I like every other girl my age have a crush on Kasey Kahne. However when I'm down there shooting I can't play favorites and professionalism is the name of the game. So that's a major upside to being out there shooting. On another note traffic wasn't too bad on Race day either, I took a differn't route home this time, it seems as though 121 I think it was.. is far less congested than 35 south. But that's only helpful to East Arlington and Dallas residents, if you live in Fort Worth it would take you way out of the way. The Texas Motor Speedway folks are always hospitable so I'm giving a shout out to them. Tickets for the Fall Race are on sale now. So Dallas folks you should check it out, but bring the sunscreen!
Here are some shots from the Spring Race

Yall have a good friday! TGIF!

Britney Spears & Adele
Well at the end of March I got to shoot Britney's Circus tour stop here. There were about a billion dancers and stuff on stage with her. They had us up on the side because honestly when you've only got 3 songs to shoot and a stage that big in the round. It's about the only thing that makes sense. I mean I imagine one could keep up on the floor but it would be like running a marathon back and forth and difficult to focus on shooting.
Spotlights were good for most of it. The second song was a little tough cause Britney was in a cage thing of sorts. But I think I got some ok shots, no cool lights or anything because of where we shot from. Here are some shots.
Also in March I got to shoot Adele who was great. I got to actually stay and watch the show which is rare so I was happy about that. She seems so giddy sometimes when she performs, as if she can't believe folks are there cheering for her. I think the modesty is a great. Here are a few from that!
Ok that's it for now. Lots of stuff from April to come including Nascar, Gavin Degraw, Fall Out Boy, 50 Cent, and James Morrison. So definitely stay tuned!
This weekend Robin Thicke and Jennifer Hudson are here, hopefully I'll get to shoot that one! Also here on Wednesday, Mandy Moore will be at Kidd Kraddick. Should be a good one!

Kidd Kraddick!
Ok lots and lots and lots of stuff from Kidd Kraddick over the past month and a half. We had the most awesome Paul Rudd in studio, and I have to admit I was really excited about it. I don't think there was a female that works up there that wasn't excited, and I'm happy to say he was extremely nice. He was there promoting "I Love You, Man" which is hilarious if you haven't seen it.
Also in studio we had Matt Nathanson. He's always hilarious, especially on the fly. They showed him the new performance hall which also includes the new green room, or as I call it my room of narcassism.. there are a bunch of photos I've taken in the room. It's like they are my children, he totally pointed that out too when he was in there.
Nextly we had the one and only Miley Cyrus in studio. She was doing a bit of a promotional tour for the new single from the new Hannah Montana movie. She was very nice and chatty, actually asking about my camera, I thought it was very cool she's interested in photography. I have to say she carries herself very well its hard to remember sometimes that she's only 16.
Ok last up for this batch oh blog goodness is the up and comer Jessie James. She's managed by Johnny Wright and has some pipes on her like Christina Aguilera. I'd keep my eyes peeled for her to blow up if I were you.
They've booked a big guest for in studio tomorrow. I dont know if its on the DL or not. Also! just a reminder that there are a ton more photos at www.kiddlive.com
Later everyone!

Awesome Aussie and Freezing Jonas
So the end of February brought Missy Higgins and the Jonas Brothers. Missy was awesome, a bit more mellow set than I was expecting and short due to there being a show booked an hour after hers was set to end. The Aussie accent made up for the shortness of set though. It however did not make up for the lack of the song Scar! Whats up with that Missy!? Lighting for Higgins was rather dim as well. I guess trying to match the mellow. Hilarious moment when I was shooting, some girl in the crowd yelled "I'll be the Right Girl!" when Missy was singing "Wrong Girl" On another Missy note they've been playing "Steer" a ton at my other job on the satellite radio. I get kind of excited when it comes on. It played today matter of fact! If you dont know Missy Higgins.. get with it!
Ok now on to the Jonas.. that's like completely opposite of Missy Higgins. This however was a red carpet event. It was outside and like 38 degrees and that doesn't include the wind chill. I have to hand it to the fans that stood out there and waited for hours on end. We eventually got to go stand in the lobby of Main Event. Jonas were supposed to arrive at around 11:00 pm but were running late with all the promotion they were doing across the U.S. (It happens) But they didn't walk the Red Carpet till 1:30 A.M. Demi Lovato also walked the carpet, but she got there at 10:30 when it first started. She recently twittered that she gets nervous on red carpets. I think she handled this one marvelously, especially since it was freezing and she was in a knee length skirt of sorts (the wind tried to blow that thing up too, that would have sucked!)
Hope you enjoyed the shots from both events. I'm going to try and get a slew of Kidd Kraddick stuff blogged. Speaking of which.. Ashley Tisdale will be in studio tomorrow morning, and friday we have Fall Out Boy! Dallasites should come down! Should be good!
How was everyone's easter? I'm reading New Moon now.. I know lame.. I've fallen Victim to reading these books.
Ok back to work now!
