Moxie Hair Studio – Adrina Rae Parker

admin — Thu, 24 May 2012 03:11:22 +0000

Adrina opened up Moxie Hair Studio in July 2008 after having 5 years of experience with mentors Louis Vargas and George Garcia. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to get my hair cut and colored by Adrina several times. Each time was a perfect experience and I left feeling refreshed and great. Adrina studied at Federicos Beauty College in Fresno, CA. She says it is her passion in life to make people feel and look beautiful, and Adrina loves traveling for jobs.

Moxie is located at 1526 North Van Ness Fresno, CA

Valentines Day

I know I’m a little late on posting this, but better late than never right?……

Every holiday I offer $60 photo shoots which includes the background and settings for the specific holiday, 2 hours of shooting (during this time you may change outfits as many times as you’d like), all of your photos edited on a disc, and 3 8×10′s.

Here’s a few of my favorites from this last Valentines Day. Look back soon for Easter photos

Kern County Museum – Ruiz Wedding

admin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 06:38:10 +0000

My most recent wedding was in Bakersfield at the Kern County Museum. I was actually born and raised (until 6th grade) in Bakersfield so I was really excited to go shoot a wedding there, especially at the museum. For some reason I thought the wedding was going to be inside, so I wore black dress pants, a black shirt and my long hair down. Shortly after arriving I saw it was outside and realized it was time to put my hair up and brave the July heat.

Anthony and Nichol were a great couple to work with. They were incredibly relaxed about everything and gave me the go to do as I pleased. It was a semi-casual but intimate wedding. Their family and friends were all wonderfully friendly. I had a great time at this wedding and hope to work with more couples like them in the near future.

Shell Beach – Finder Wedding

I had a great time with this out of town wedding. The weather was perfect that day! Unfortunately it got a little cold at night and coming from Fresno, I was a little unprepared for it. The ceremony was small and simple, but lovely and personal. My young couple seemed very excited to be starting a new phase in life together. I was able to play around with some different lighting and had a lot of fun with the different looks of the photos.

A Place To Bury Strangers

admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 11:00:28 +0000

I have to be honest and say I didn’t know much about this band before seeing them. I had listened to their stuff here and there and was definitely interested in them but as soon as they hit the stage and started playing I immediately became a huge fan. The vibe at Audies/Club Fred was great. The band got everyone going right away, dancing and totally rocking out. The show was AMAZING, the band was great and really friendly, and everyone there had a good time. I’ve been trying to get the hang of taking pictures at live shows, and I feel like these are some of the best I’ve done so far. If you don’t know who they are check out their website and enjoy the pictures.

Sunrise at the Iron Bird Lofts.

I recently moved into the Iron Bird Lofts in Downtown Fresno and I absolutely love them. I had some trouble sleeping this morning and happened to be awake at sunrise. Here’s a few photos from my bedroom window:

Vintage Strings.

Meet my lady. She’s amazing. She sells awesome vintage clothes on etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/kellyshoestrings), takes beautiful photographs (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kellylauren/), writes a lovely blog (http://www.blogger.com/profile/02601073179377217181), and is the rock I lean on for support and love. Kelly is an inspiration to me and the people that surround her. Take a moment to look at her websites and get to know her a little bit.

This last one I put in because it makes me smile. This facial expression is one I see and love on a daily basis. :)

American Girl.

I haven’t been this excited about a photo shoot in a long time. It was just for fun so it felt less demanding and definitely no pressure. I’ve been trying to do a shoot with Chelsea for a while and we finally got together. Last year I was really disappointed when I missed taking photos when the blossoms were around so I was determined to get it done this year. Chelsea was perfect for the shoot. She’s incredibly photogenic and so much fun. She made taking her picture an easy task.

February.

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 05:59:45 +0000

I was looking through the photos I have taken so far this year and decided I would just post some of my favorites from last month. In February I did a few different things…..some random nature stuff, and a few of our little sister Samantha.

While in Oakland waiting to shoot with Dear Indugu (see previous post: Dear Indugu) I was outside Joshua’s house and fell in love with some of the flowers around the yard.

Every week Meghan and I take one of our siblings and have them over for the night. We love doing this and because we are the coolest big sisters ever, they love their nights with us. Sissy Sam stayed and we had some fun in the front yard. She was a good little model for me. I adore my siblings more than life itself, and they are by far my favorite to photograph.
