One last shot of Chyene on gray from our shoot a few weeks ago.  I’m going to try and bring some color back into the blog this week, so stay tuned for some Blizzard shots from NYC.  On another note…I’ve officially made it a quarter of a century on my journey.  Here’s to the next quarter century and beyond!

What can I say about Jessi…wow. Jessi has been featured on this blog more than anyone I know. She’s been my best friend for the past several years, as well as my studio manager (for Stephen DeVries Photo) and the director of development for the non-profit that I co-own, Bedouins International. Jessi moved to New York with me to work for Times Square Church as a project manager for the new missions media team. She got her degree from Auburn (where I grew up!) but we didn’t actually meet until we became neighbors in Birmingham. Jessi is one of the most caring people I’ve ever met, a great friend and, she’s incredibly smart. Check out her BLOG and find out for yourself. We did Jessi’s shoot last week during blizzard #2, which was perfect because Jessi was in Birmingham and missed blizzard #1 and was supper bummed…so we were really excited when blizzard #2 hit and she got to enjoy 16″ of snow for the first time. In summery…Jessi makes my business work. Without her I’m pretty sure they’d crash and burn.

So…ignore my terrible spelling and check out what we’ve got cooking…NEW STEPHENDEVRIESPHOTO (dot) COM WEBSITE!!!  Again…complements of the wonderful Phil Moody and new logotype complements of Wes Morris. Gah…those guys rock my socks. I can’t wait to show you guys what Phil’s put together…the new site is going to be killer. But until it’s live, you’re stuck with my awesome site map drawing as proof!

Loving all of the stuff from this shoot…this is officially black and white week. These are a few of Philip being goofy.

I have some rocking blizzard photos coming next week…here’s a quick peek at what’s to come, these are two ‘out takes’ that didn’t make the final cut but I really liked them because they’re a little ‘funky’ with the rain (in this case snow) cover falling into the shot repeatedly.  Happy Friday!

This hat (belonging to Cheyne) has become a staple of photo shoots up here lately.  I’m digging it.
