LYNN MICHELLE

As a computer science major, one of the suggested requirements to graduate was to get involved in an extra curricular activity on campus. I thought the newspaper would be the place for me - I had always been commended for my writing skills and I had just left my post as head of our rogue high school newspaper.

The conversation with the editor did not go as planned; she was insistent upon needing a photographer and I just wanted to write. I guess I wore her down, she let me submit a story - a humorous tale about the parking situation at school. It had the laughs, tears, and pizazz of an award-winning article. It would change the world! But it never got published. Instead, she handed me a camera and ushered me out the door for my first assignment.

And that's how I became a photographer. I don't have a great story about growing up with a camera in my hand. My life on the newspaper was an anything but a glamorous array of rolled film (yes, I said the f word), developer and deadlines.

Here I am 12 [eek] years later and I can say that this is exactly where I want to be and I shoot fabulous people.




Hello, fabulous person #Site Meter

Thank heaven for twitter! (Actually, thank you Jack Dorsey!) My status update last Wednesday (“Yes, I just downloaded Cascada’s ‘Evacuate the Dance Floor’. Don’t judge.”) prompted a tweet from the band Your Villain, My Hero : “@lynnmichelle our band did a live video for our version of “evacuate the dance floor!” http://bit.ly/EInPv <–hope you like it!”

Like it? I LOVED IT! They rocked my socks off, I would LOVE to see them perform here in Dallas!

Caught at Rachel & Geff’s wedding

March 9, 2010 – 8:30 am

Ah, the usual hilarity that ensues when the crew teams up at a wedding…

Nancy + the dress always equals silliness. Nom, nom anyone?

Caught at Rachel & Geff's Grapevine wedding

Here’s a nice set of me orchestrating the formal portraits. First, fixing Rachel’s veil.

And finally, running away from those crazy guys before my nipples get attacked next  …

Audrey smiling pretty. I can’t seem to catch her doing anything too embarrassing … yet.

Headshots for the Cure

March 8, 2010 – 7:56 am

“Headshots for the Cure is a fundraising event that was created by Mandy Rausch, an individual participant in the 2010 Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure (Dallas, TX) in collaboration with the photographers of Fresh Focus Point, a Dallas-based photographer collective. The event is being created in order to provide high-quality, professional headshots for actors, performers and/or corporate individuals with all proceeds from the event going directly towards Ms. Rausch’s fundraising goals for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The Komen foundation is the global leader of the breast cancer movement in its goals to increase awareness; empower patients, survivors and family members; and ultimately help find a cure.”

The event is scheduled for Sunday, March 28th from 1pm to 6pm. As mentioned above, EVERY PENNY is going straight to the Susan G. Komen foundation! Spots are filling up quickly, please register for your time by contacting Mandy today!

I’d like to extend a special thank to my colleagues at Fresh Focus Point (FFP) for devoting their time to such a wonderful cause. FFP is a collective of photography studios who have come together to provide a single source for quality wedding and event photography in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. The 5 studios that make up FFP include myself, Engaged Studio, Simple Moments Photography, Rego Visual Arts, and Imaginography. I’m honored to be hanging out with such a group of talented and well-respected photographers.

Kelsey’s Head shots

March 5, 2010 – 7:54 am

I don’t exactly have a category on my blog for head shots, so Kelsey can just blaze her own path :) There are so many things I can tell you about Kelsey, but I think she can’t be summed up in words. Like me, she requires a sound – even perhaps a song. And I believe her song would with “Na, Na, Na, Na” because that would be soooo Kelsey.

Ridiculous sunsets? I haz dem.
