We did two locations and two themes in one evening. The first was the "derby pageant"--an idea I came up with and had been dying to execute for a while. Originally I wanted to shoot them in the <a href="http://www.towertheatrefresno.com/" target="_blank">Tower Theater</a> or a similar venue, but we didn't want to pay to use their stage. Luckily, my favorite derby girl, <a href="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving38.jpg" target="_blank">Kim Burly</a>, arranged to have us use her church's stage and tacky green curtain as a backdrop. <br /><br />I'm pretty happy with how a lot of these turned out, but I'm not entirely sure that I nailed the pageant feel I was going for, especially since only four girls did the "talent" and "swimsuit" portion of the pageant (my favorite part of the idea), which hurt the overall picture package. But regardless, the bottom line is that I did this shoot for the SCRG and not for me, so I really just wanted to make them look amazingly gorgeous and fun!<br /><br />The second part of the shoot was a lot more straight forward--hot chicks in an auto shop--and, as always, I had a blast taking pictures of these amazing women!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/pageant_mcred.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/pageant_lottaleadpipe_web01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/pageant_lottaswim.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/pageant_karen_web03.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/pageant_karen.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/pageant_bettyrocker_web03.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/pageant_evaabhor.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/pageant_lolalachola_web03.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/pageant_talent.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/pageant_pookie_web05.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_badmoonrisner_web01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_evaabhor_web01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_bettyrocker_web01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_suzysweetknuckles_web04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_karen_web04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_karen_web05.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_kimburly_web02.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_lottaleadpipe_web02.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_mcred_web05.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/scrggroup_web01.jpg"></center>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-63515712342556056342008-09-15T23:40:00.000-07:002008-09-15T23:47:26.931-07:00Scenes from a weekly Pride Night at the Granada Theater in Lawrence, Kansas.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight02.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight03.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight08.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight09.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight16.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight17.jpg"></center>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-24957549897185023342008-09-07T01:16:00.001-07:002008-09-07T01:30:24.259-07:00A week ago I graduated college, moved out of my house, and then immediately hopped on a plane bound for Kansas City to shoot a wedding. It's strange to go through so many changes at once--they all happen so fast that you hardly have time to reflect on it all. So here I sit late at night in a friend's apartment a few blocks away from KU, and I can't help but miss the sun (it's been cold and raining) and think about my time at Brooks. Three long years and it's all over... hard to believe. On any given day my mood will range from feeling excited and determined, to utterly terrified and lost. I have no idea what to expect or where to begin, but I think I'm on the right path.<br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/kansas01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/kansas02.jpg"><br /><br />I hope the sun comes back out tomorrow.Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-49151787942596894932008-09-04T09:55:00.000-07:002008-09-04T10:05:46.070-07:00The Ventura County Derby Darlin's had a bout with Bakersfield a few weeks ago and, of course, I was in attendance to take pictures and hang out. The girls played a great game with the score almost always tied, up until the last 60 seconds when Bakersfield just barely beat out Ventura by 2 points. Even with the defeat, I can safely say that the darlins' put up a good fight and were just as beautiful and entertaining as always!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust06.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust09.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust27.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust24.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust28.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust29.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust30.jpg"></center>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-77494512788132244612008-08-19T00:03:00.000-07:002008-08-19T00:38:42.242-07:00A little over a week ago I photographed <a href="http://www.lucentdossier.com/">Lucent Dossier</a> at <a href="http://www.edisondowntown.com/">The Edison</a> in downtown Los Angeles. The best way I can think to describe watching Lucent Dossier is by simply saying that it. was. AMAZING. Truly a performance unlike anything I've ever witnessed. It didn't even feel like they were "performing" most of the time; it was just so organic and seamless that you felt like you were a part of the era they were channeling. I was blown away by all the thought that went into how they used the space and all the little surreal details they added in order to create an experience I'll never forget. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend that you all see them once in your life. It is well worth it. I hope I can go back this Wednesday and shoot them again!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier02.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier06.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier16.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier23.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier24.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier25.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier27.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier28.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier31.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier35.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier36.jpg"></center>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-67508992531565258012008-08-03T23:18:00.000-07:002008-08-04T00:28:47.163-07:00I photographed the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/vcdevilsdarlins">Ventura County Derby Darlins</a> at their inter-league bout last weekend to add to the roller derby photo essay I'm working on. They had the disco team--whose name I can't remember--(in silver) versus the punk rock team--the CBGB's--(in gold), and if memory serves, I believe the CBGB's won. It's become challenging me to find new persectives and new moments the more and more I photograph derby, while also trying to get that one essential action shot (nope, I still don't have it... but I'm getting closer).

as I finish up my time here in Leadville, I'll be making updates with what I've been seeing and shooting. I have to say that this little valley is one of the most scenic and breathtakingly beautiful locations for a town that I have ever seen. Every street I drive down has a million different scenes I want to shoot, and the hardest part is picking the best ones to spend time at! But for now, these are my favorites:<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics02.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics03.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics05.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics06.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics07.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics08.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics09.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics16.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics17.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics18.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics19.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics21.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/leadvillescenics22.jpg"></center><br />There will definitely be more to come.

I can't help it, when I'm on the road, I want to pull over every 5 minutes and take pictures--especially with the amazing weather I had this time around.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado01.jpg"><br /><br />The Mojave.<br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado03.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado05.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado07.jpg"><br /><br />Nevada.<br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado08.jpg"><br /><br />Utah.<br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado09.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado11.jpg"><br /><br />I spent the night in Green River, Utah after the first day of driving, and then woke up to this amazing sky:<br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado13.jpg"><br /><br />Colorado!!<br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado14.jpg"><br /><br />Snow <333<br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/travel/roadtocolorado16.jpg"><br /><br />Yay Leadville!</center>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-52793368646245553862008-06-01T22:42:00.001-07:002008-06-01T22:42:53.943-07:00So it's been a while since my last update. I've been in Colorado for a little over a week now, doing a travel story on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadville,_Colorado">Leadville</a>. Today I walked down to the Arkansas River right before the sun set and I realized how lucky I am to be in such a beautiful part of the world. Sometimes it's easy to forget that when you're working your ass off every day, but there it was, staring at me in the face this evening. And I couldn't walk away from it; I just stared and sat and let the beauty around me absorb into my soul. My mom has been harping that message to me all week when I've called her freaking out about this or that: "Enjoy where you are and stop worrying about everything," she says. I couldn't agree more.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/jenndiptic2.jpg"><br /><br />Thanks Mom.</center>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-51658611031708749442008-05-10T13:55:00.000-07:002008-05-10T14:03:30.284-07:00Last week my favorite roller derby girl, Kim Burly, and her sister-in-law/fellow derby teammate, Lotta Leadpipe, both of the Smog City Roller Grrls, did a shoot with me. After brainstorming for a bit, Kim and I came up with an answer to what will now be known as <a href="http://blog.jenntography.com/2007/11/derby-domestic.html" target="_blank">my first Derby Domestic series</a>--Derby Domestic 2: Country Living. The girls dolled themselves up pretty amazingly, and we spent a few hours one evening playing around with tractors and a horse trailer. Any shoot I do with Kim is always so much fun, and these pictures in particular are now some of my all-time favorites. Have I mentioned how much I love roller derby girls?<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving05.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving06.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving08.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving09.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving17.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving19.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving23.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving25.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving26.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving28.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving32.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving33.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving34.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving35.jpg"><br /><br />"When will the welfare check get here..."<br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving38.jpg"></center>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-26199512195683552042008-05-07T12:17:00.000-07:002008-05-07T12:27:24.207-07:00Two weekends ago I photographed Kelly and Paul's wedding at the <a href="http://www.foresthouse.com/">Forest House Historic Hotel</a> in Forestville, CA. The entire day was filled with fun and laughter. I have never seen a bride more calm and content in my life! And the toasts were so funny that I felt my gut split many times over. Kelly and Paul truly looked at peace with one another, and their little dog Foxy is an adorable part of their new family! (she walked down the aisle with Kelly and always made her way into the pictures) After not seeing Kelly for almost 20 years, I have to say that she's turned into a beautiful, lovely woman, and I am so appreciative of how her family and friends welcomed me to the wedding. I hope all my wedding experiences after this are as blissful and wonderful as theirs. Congratulations, Kelly and Paul!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul09.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul18.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul21.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul24.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul25.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul27.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul28.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul30.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul31.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul32.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul33.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul34.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul35.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul38.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul39.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul41.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul42.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul44.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul45.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul47.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul50.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul51.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/weddings/kellypaul52.jpg"></center>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-75517503959517217952008-04-30T12:32:00.000-07:002008-04-30T12:33:32.674-07:00A few weeks ago the band <a href="http://www.myspace.com/melodygroveandthemovement">Melody Grove & The Movement</a> came up to Ojai to take some band portraits. They brought tea and a ton of yummy picnic food, set up under a tree at the river bottom, and attempted to enjoy the 100+ degree weather (hah! we were all so miserable in the heat... and of course it cools down significantly the very next day). The nature that surrounded us was beautiful, as is the band. These are my favorite shots from the day:<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_vintage_web01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web09.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web26.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web27.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web35.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web38.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web42.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web43.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_vintage_web08.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web47.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web50.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web52.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web59.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web60.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/melodygrove_web63.jpg"></center>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-23503456825210046462008-04-25T11:10:00.001-07:002008-04-25T11:10:41.176-07:00I had to make a short iPod trailer for myself for my multimedia class.
