March you're way into the studio today!

Hello Everyone! It's been a beautiful day so far... I'm looking forward to what this Spring will bring! I'm ready for the warm weather and outdoor portraits!! I can't wait to wear flipflop's and sundresses... come on Spring! With that in mind, I've uploaded the March newsletter below (it's also available at www.jessidalton.com under studio news). It's filled with past events, upcoming events, specials, and other studio news! Click Here.

As you can see from the Newsletter there are several upcoming events and specials! I sure hope to see you in studio or on location if the weather permits! And as always, check out my fan page on Facebook to stay up to date on schedule changes, new events (or to RSVP to events), and other studio news throughout the month!

I've recently went to Las Vegas, NV to work with USA Gymnastics Magazine. I was to help photograph the Winter Cup Challenge held each year in Vegas. It is comprised of some of the most talented male gymnasts in the country. They all compete with hopes of placing in the top 15 to gain a spot of the Senior National Team which competes around the world to represent the USA! How crazy is that! Below are some images from the second session...

Up next: BNC!

Gymnastics Nevada Challenge.

I traveled to Reno, NV to be a vendor at the 2011 Gymnastics Nevada Challenge. The big event was held on January 29-30th. Saturday was one session of Men's gymnastics and two sessions of Women's gymnastics on Sunday. It was a great weekend full of great gymnastics and I had the honor of photographing for some great clients. Below are two of my newest products being offered... Photo Montages! Below the montages are two slide shows of the Gym Nevada Gymnasts. The slide shows are also available for purchase. Keep in mind each of these products can be created custom for you!








Up next: Winter Cup Challenge and images from Ballet Nouveau Colorado (BNC)

Pin Up Girls.

Back in January I had the honors of photographing two very beautiful girls! This shoot was such a blast and we had lots of laughs while on set. I was also excited to be able to use my new red background and got some really amazing images to add to my portfolio!

Next: 2011 Gymnastics Nevada Challenge, Winter Cup Championships, and Ballet Neaveau Colorado (BCN)

Rocky Mountain Open 2011

This past weekend I attended the 2011 Rocky Mountain Open held at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. The Rocky Mountain Open is a gymnastics meet held at the beginning of the year (January 15). For many, it's the start of the new season and for me, it's the start of my brothers second year at the University of Oklahoma (Team OU/Boomer Sooner).

It began at 6pm on a chilly Saturday night, however the gym in which they competed was NOT so chilly... it was actually quite warm! I feel like I was the one doing all the working out! It was a great competition and this year the Olympic Training Center (OTC) was allowed to compete against the NCAA teams and have their scores counted. Most years, they're not allowed to be counted towards team scores, but this year it was on.

It was a battle between OU and the OTC for a majority of the night, but the OTC ended up winning first place team, but my brother was able to capture the first place all around followed by a few members at the OTC. It was a great way to start the new season, but it also showed us that there's a lot to do from here and how they will work to continue getting better through out the season. I saw a lot of new tricks and am excited to see how they will in time, become perfected in this years routines!

Here are a few of the shots from this past weekend... I only photographed two guys this time around, but I'll be attending many more meets, so stay tuned to learn more about team OU!

This is my brother Jake.





This is Troy, his roommate and teammate at OU.





And this is a new product I'm finally ready to offer... PHOTO MONTAGES! Prices for a custom montage start at just $99!
Another photo montage is in the works! I'll be sure to publish it when it's completed :) I thank you all for your support and I look forward to this year! It's already off to a great start!

Becky Sandoval.

On Thursday the Sandoval's and I pulled together a quick shoot just in time for some Christmas cards. The Sandoval's were so great and had two hilarious dogs that insisted on running around! It was a fun session and we were able to capture some wonderful photos! I can't wait to see the final product.

Thank you Becky, Marisa, Monica, and Marco for a wonderful Thursday session in Castle Rock. You guys were such a pleasure to work with! I look forward to many more sessions with you in the future! Enjoy!
