Another Dusty Dirty Weekend - LOORRS

2010-06-04T10:23:00.001-07:00

Another dusty dirty weekend spent shooting Lucas Oil Offroad Racing! Nothing gets me more excited than big trucks, loud engines, dirt and cute flat billin' boys! After walking through the course, I was not to crazy about the awful backgrounds. My personal goal for myself was to keep it as clean and shoot as low or high as possible. I'm a sucker for slow pans, especially with such awful

Fontana NASCAR Blog - Images by Jennifer Stewart It has been some time since I have last updated my blog, my apologies. I've been so busy lately living the life! Fontana NASCAR is where I left off and boy was that an eventful trip! During Sprint Cup practice, I made my way to an elevated position where the cars would be

NHRA Pomona Winternationals - Images by Jennifer Stewart I've heard so much about the Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA. The history, the museum but primarily about the great light. When I found out I was to shoot it, I was very excited. Looking back through my photos, as I was preparing them for this blog, I honestly feel as a photographer, that I truly stepped up my game. I know the sport

Architectural Photography Blog - Images by Jennifer Stewart Unfortunately being creative and taking photos is not my full time job. I work a normal day job that, for now, pays the bills. Ironic enough, my job title is Creative Specialist.... That being said, I work for a tile and granite company called Stockett Tile and Granite. From time to time I get away from my desk and go to job sites

Insight Bowl 2009 Blog - Images by Jennifer StewartSuper short, super quick blog. The holidays and Snow Leopard have killed me. My apologies.The Insight Bowl was one of my first real football games I've shot. No disrespect to the UFL, however I was shooting more commercially for them. See the blog here.Fortunately, I was able to tag along with my mentor Mark, and he was able to show me the

Phoenix Supercross 2010 Blog - Images by Jennifer Stewart Growing up in the desert, we were always playing or riding in the dirt. I believe that is why I am so drawn to the offroad type races. This past weekend, I had the opportunity to shoot my first Supercross. I have gone to the Supercross for the past 6 years, being able to shoot it has been a new experience. After circling the entire

Better late than never...LOORRS Lucas Oil Challenge Cup

2010-01-11T14:43:00.008-07:00

LOORRS 2009 Blog - Images by Jennifer StewartThe Lucas Oil Challenge Cup has been by far, my most favorite event I have shot to date. I love pretty much everything about off road...or dirt! When I arrived to the track at Lake Elsinore, I heard there was so much action that took place down the front stretch of turn one. So with 3 other photographers shooting else where, I decided that was my

Beautiful Weekend for IHBA Napa Auto Parts World Finals

Interested in Ordering Prints?!A weekend full of great weather and great light made for another great weekend home in Phoenix shooting the IHBA Napa Auto Parts World Finals at Firebird Lake. Mark motivated a few photographer friends, Will Lester and Richard Quattrocchi to come out and shoot the boat races with me and I'm glad they did. As IHBA wraps up its last season sponsoring the drag boat

Trouble in Turn 4 at Phoenix International Raceway

2009-11-16T14:34:00.010-07:00

NASCAR was at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona which had lots of action. And finally, a weekend in town! Besides my hellish walk to and from the roof, my furthest traveling was a drive to Chilis with Mark!Friday was a long, busy day that started with driver shots in the garage.Jeff Burton strikes a pose.Denny Hamlin laughs as he gears up.I've slowly been trying to gain the

NASCAR: A weekend of problems!

2009-11-09T08:16:00.019-07:00

Where do I start? Well, Mark and I each arrived on separate flights where we were both happy to see one another. With smiles on our faces, we were eager to arrive to the Texas Motor Speedway. Once we arrived to the credential office, our smiles quickly became frowns.My credential wasn't ready for me. A name change request, resulted in me spending the rest of the evening in the hotel room

NHRA Vegas Nationals

2009-11-04T08:35:00.016-07:00

Driving out to Las Vegas for the NHRA Las Vegas Nationals, my stomach was in knots. I had never covered a whole event by myself before nor have I ever stayed at a hotel alone. Needless to say, I was very nervous. Although being Halloween weekend, I broke the nerves by stopping at Walmart to make my Halloween costume...more to come.Once I got my approval to shoot at top end, Will Lester and I

Smoke & Sparks at the NASCAR Banking 500

2009-10-21T11:29:00.008-07:00

I had not eaten anything but a horrible egg sandwich from Tony Stewart's favorite burger joint in the airport early that morning and some adult beverages on the plane. We had 2 and half hour drive to Lowes Motor Speedway in Charlotte and the credential office closed at 7pm. Mark had hopes to make it to the track in time, but only if we drove an average of 82mph the whole way with no stops. I

A weekend of firsts, NASCAR!

2009-10-15T08:39:00.015-07:00

After a long even shooting the first UFL game, I was pooped Friday driving to Fontana, CA. Luckily, I was able to crash out while Mark drove. Having another first of shooting an event, I had planned on mentally preparing and picking my mentors brain before we arrived. But I woke up right as we were exiting for the Auto Club Speedway.On the way to the media room, I was busy taking in the

First UFL Game = First Commercial Gig

2009-10-13T21:43:00.008-07:00

I was lucky to fall into my first commercial gig...or so I thought. I have never shot football before and being the first game of the UFL history, I was pretty nervous. Mark continued to reassure me to relax and that he would coach me through my first game. However the second I stepped foot into the media room, I was swept away to another room with a long list of things, I mean logos and

Order Prints Today!Mark and I had plans to shoot the IHBA Bayfair race in San Diego, CA together. However he got the call Thursday that he was to shoot the BYU game on Saturday and the Chargers on Sunday. I was a little bummed to not be shooting the whole event together since there is a lot of down time...but I was also excited to hopefully catch some great stuff and rub it in his face.I'm not

Shooting lightning leaves me excited for more!

2009-09-13T10:29:00.015-07:00

Order your own prints NOW!After returning from a 22 hour travel day Thursday night, I was worn out Friday. Mark and I ended up taking a nap around 4pm and I only woke up because Mark was shouting at me to get dressed, we're gonna shoot some lightning! I didn't jump up too fast.He has been waiting for monsoon season since we met 3 months ago. All he can talk about is how excited he is for it.

First time shooting a drag race. Holy crap nitro fumes!

2009-07-27T21:33:00.020-07:00

The first time shooting a drag race was also my first time to a drag race. We were shooting at the Infineon Raceway in Sonoma for the Fram Autolite Nationals. After setting up in the media room, Mark, my partner in crime, quickly showed me where I was and was not allowed to stand then quickly left to the top end of the track.Beginning the day with pro stock motorcycles allowed me to get a

IHBA Drag Boat Races in Augusta Georgia

2009-07-23T15:17:00.024-07:00

Order PrintsWhen Mark asked me if I wanted to go to the South to shoot some boat drags, I could not turn him down. Being from Arizona and never traveling east of New Mexico, I was blown away when we arrived in Alabama. It was green and covered in these spectacular, huge trees; deciduous trees as Mark ever so kindly informed me...over and over and over...On our drive to Georgia I fell in love...

Body Paint, a Ring Light and Kristen!

2009-07-11T22:13:00.012-07:00

Kristen contacted me after she saw the shoot I had done with Summer and Crystal with the body paints. I was actually driving to Plaster City to shoot Drive's night race when she left me a voice mail saying how she loved my style and ability to capture the moment, I was flattered. She was excited to do a shoot for her man and a few shots for her family. She was all pumped up on all these crazy

Learning to Shoot with Remotes Up North

2009-06-10T08:17:00.004-07:00

With the intentions to shoot a car fire at the Mormon Lake Fire Station, Mark and I were pretty bummed when we discovered they weren't going to light it do to the high winds. However that didn't stop us from taking millions of photos! Never riding on an UTV before, Mark was very eager to hit the back trails on the 'Man Buggie.' Although first he had to teach me how to use and mount a remote

Night Race at Paster City!

2009-05-24T09:54:00.000-07:00

When Kartman asked if I wanted to join him to shoot the Drive FW 200 out in Plaster City, CA; I couldn't resist. Now this race was out in the middle of no where and I was traveling with someone with a license plate that reads "CREEPY." HAHA What was I getting myself into?!Kartman definitely taught me a lot as we pre-ran the track. It was the first time I really experienced the full process of

Sunday morning I was ready to shoot! Needed to escape! Even though I didn't have a track pass...somehow I've stumbled across some great friends who managed to get me on the track. I was stoked!At some point during the race I decided I needed to man up and go over to the most dangerous turn of the track! Great decision! It's funny how after the first 5 mins you become completely desensitized.Not

2009-04-22T12:39:00.000-07:00

Haven't seen Kim since middle school! WOW!!I was very excited to shot her, but a little nervous since it's been awhile. The second we met up, it's like we've been best friends for years!She was so much fun to work with! She made my job real simple!!During this shoot, White Balance finally clicked to me and the importance of adjust and not just leaving it on auto! The colors were far more rich

This does not do it justice!I had a blast in Vegas this weekend. Did my first Off Roading race! Kermit showed me all the ins and out and I can see why he's hooked! The dirt being thrown around, the growling of the engines, um...the boys! Helps being a cute little girl walking around with a camera! Not gonna lie!I can't explain the rush I got when the trucks would come barreling by! I
