T.O.L. is a rap group from California. They flew me out there for their photoshoot and I took my family along for a mini-vacay after. I will probably post some pictures of my babies' first time at the beach later (they loved it!).
The guys of T.O.L. took me to various significant locations that they hang out at and grew up around.
-------Little Side Story-------
California is too funny! People would stop in their cars and ask random questions while we were shooting, "What are you guys doing?" , "What's that?" (to my lighting equipment) or "Are you Samoan? Cause my daughter is pregnant to a Samoan but he's from Hawaii (*in a sarcastic tone*)" ......Like you can't be Samoan and be from Hawaii....ha ha! Oh, one girl spit at the ground as she walked by because I smiled at her! LOL! Then there was a little old lady on a scooter just driving down the sidewalk, not paying attention to us. One of the guys said hello and she suddenly stopped her scooter and said, "Do you have a dollar?" Too funny! See if you can spot the old lady in the T.O.L music video below! I'll give you a high five if you do!
Well on to the pictures. I had an idea in my head of a poker table scene, however I wasn't sure if I could pull off what I had envisioned.... but I think it's pretty close to what I had pictured.
Another idea I had.... guys do this stuff right?? Play poker and dice? Woo...lucky 7, that's good right? I have no idea! ha!

Lil' Nee is HAWT! lol
rocked it kayleen!!
Amazing!!
typically i feel like this type of music style sticks with dark colors, and neutral color schemes. But you brought out vibrant tones that really gave them a great feel and brought out personality.
I can imagine that the group is ecstatic with their results! You did a fantastic, creative job and the lighting and colors are great!
Um...totally loved the first shot. in love. awesome effects girl!
In love with the poker shot! You rock girl:)
