Contest! Free photos, makeup.

John — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 02:35:59 +0000

To ring in the new year, I’m offering a special contest here. Submit a photo and get your friends to vote for you. This isn’t one of those ‘like’ games where it’s all about getting me fake likes, it’s an official contest set up so the public has the say via a voting mechanism. The grand prize winner gets a totally free photo session, consultation, and makeup (by Artistry by Erin). Over a $400 value, totally free. The photo session will be in-studio in Jacksonville, Florida. Transportation not provided.

Pass it on to your friends, and be on the lookout in my group for Valentine’s day deals! Much love to everyone.

It’s been awhile, my apologies. I’ve been busy! I have a new, simple portal that displays my current portfolio images at http://johnkester.me. The page also connects you to my new Facebook page if you click “Like.” I update that page with all sorts of random, new work. So definitely “Like” it.

Boudoir Sessions and Ephemera

John — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 01:06:21 +0000

A few of the shots from yesterday’s fun are posted in my Facebook group. I’m overwhelmed with photo work, life is good! I’m planning a few group shoots, so if you’re near Jacksonville, join the aforementioned Facebook page for the most up-to-date info and event invitations. In other news I did a boudoir session and it turned out wonderfully. I don’t advertise for this kind of work too often, but I’m thinking about starting. It’s not Valentine’s day or any other corporate holiday season but you should still get your guy or girl a sexy surprise. Email me for rates! Good night world.

Wedding Day

John — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 03:27:07 +0000

Today was awesome. I got to work with wonderful people (in front of and behind the camera) making a wedding come together. It sounds totally trite and sappy, but looking at the raw shots, you can see how genuinely happy this couple were. I’m totally glad to be part of it. Major love to Trinity Baker for doing hair, makeup and crowd control. She is the complete artist.

I can’t wait to share the finished pieces!
