Chamber of Commerce Redding
Tom photographing on MADtv and Ed Bassmaster
Yes it has been an INSANE month. As you can see below I just uploaded about 30 jobs and most of them are from before December! That’s how far behind on the blog we are.
Well, Tom spent a week down in Hollywood this month and photographed on the set of MADtv. It’s a really long story that got him there, but to sum things up, a HUGE YouTube comedian named Ed Bassmaster flew out from Philedelphia to have Tom take his portraits and for us to help create his website. That was a huge compliment for us! Ed won a spot on MADtv and told them he had to bring along his personal photographer, Tom 
. So Tom and Ed went to Hollywood, filmed the first day, then Ed was asked to come back for a second filming the following day for the Season Finale! What an honor it was for Ed. The link below is a short 4 minute video of some of Ed’s photos that Tom took here in Redding, and a few photos Tom took from their trip to Hollywood. I hope you enjoy!

Are you going to the Redding Rodeo this weekend? It’s going to be a blast! Since we were already booked this whole weekend with portrait shoots we were hired earlier in the week to take some shots of the drill team’s dress rehearsal and man was it incredible! They were all extremely talented and it was a true joy to watch. Here’s a short little snippet of some of the portraits. Don’t let the heat keep you away! This rodeo is definately worth going to!!!
Central Valley High’s Junior and Senior Prom 2008
A week ago we had the pleasure of photographing Central Valley Junior/Senior Prom. This was the first Prom we did without building a set, they wanted the backdrop to be the trees on the golf course (which was RiverBend Golf Course). It was a challenge at first to transition from daylight to evening, but with the flood of lights I think we got a great effect and am really pleased with how they came out! Luckily the evening was absolutlely beautiful!! Congrats to both the Junior and Senior Court Winners and thanks Central Valey for trusting us again for another great dance!
Enterprise High School Junior Prom 2008

The Real Meaning of Easter – Our Photos From Israel of The Garden Tomb
5 years ago Tommy and I went on a trip to Israel. It was so incredbile, being able to put the stories that we knew from the Bible into real life places. Some of my favorite photos are from the Garden Tomb and since it is Easter weekend I though it was a great time to post some photos that we took while there. There is the Hill that the cross was placed on (Golgatha, place of the Skull, where Jesus Christ was crucified by the Romans, buried in a nearby tomb, and rose from the dead on Easter Sunday) ,some pictures of the tomb itself, the huge track the rock was rolled away from, the inside of the tomb (it’s believed Jesus was buried on the left) and a photo of Tommy and I in front of the empty tomb.
I hope you enjoy and if you’re not doing anything for Easter, come join us at The Convention Center, Neighborhood Church has 3 services Easter Sunday. For More Information Visit www.NCRedding.com
