Undergrads 2008-09 Swimsuit Calendar
As I said, this semester has been full of interesting photography opportunities, with the most exciting being a swimsuit calendar for a bunch of great girls. To raise money to help save a friend from having to move out, Megan (a friend of mine from work and also Ms. December) worked with all these girls and my self to organize photo shoot and to ultimately put together the best swimsuit calendar this state has ever seen. 
Below is a taste of what you will find behind the cover of this calendar, but if this just isn’t enough…check out my online store where you can purchase your own Undergrads Calender for $20. All the money goes to keeping one of these girls in her current home by covering her expenses.
To help these great girls by purchasing your own calendar please place your order here.
Deviant2 Lightroom Preset
I received some great feedback on the photos from my last shoot (shown below) and had some requests to post the lightroom preset I used to create the effect you see on the first and forth images in the “Advanced Color Portrait – Male Portrait” post. You can find a link to this preset and other my “For Photographers” blog!!!
Advanced Color Portrait – Male Portraits
In my advanced color portrait class it became apparent that many of us were falling into the trap of only photographing young beautiful women, so it was no surprise when we were given the assignment to shoot a male portrait to challenge ourselves. My answer to this challenge came in a fun high-energy photo shoot with Greg. Greg brings his high-energy personality to every situation and this was no exception, so I took advantage of my willing model to try some off the wall ideas including: in-air action shots, James Bond “hand gun” moves, and strong-man bike tosses.
I’m extremely happy with the variety of images I got from this shoot and look forward to continuing to challenge myself to think outside the border of traditional photography.

Sarah Jane Photography – Busy Schedule
Hello Everyone!
I’m posting just to let you all know I’m still alive. While I use this blog to keep clients, friend, and other interested viewers informed of my latest endevors, for the past few weeks life’s busy schedule has not included any time for blogging. And now that I have found a moment of time to blog, I am not at my home computer so am without any recent work to show you.
The good news is that my busy schedule has been full of photographic adventures (some more exciting than others). All of which I plan to share with you in the near (hopefully very near) future. Just as a preview, here are some of the projects I have been busy with lately, each of which you will see in more detail soon.
Over spring break, I went back to work a couple days for Arkansas Valley Feathers/Zucker Feather Products to shoot some new and interesting products. Unfortunately, Brooke, our model, was unable to fly in that week so I will be returning again in April to shoot their newest clothing items.
Back at UCM, I had one of my most fun photo projects yet: A SWIMSUIT CALENDAR!!! While taking the images was a blast, and the beautiful girls made my getting great images very easy, the most fun has come in putting the calendar together. This project was started by a friend of mine in order raise money for her roommate. I took on the project, not for a monetary gain, but to help the girls and because it offered me a challenge, and I have had more fun doing it than any other project this year. This great calendar will be available soon, and I’m sure the girls would be more than willing to send it to any interested customers.
I have also been preparing for the UCM Photo Society Expo Print Competition in the past few weeks, and once it is over I plan to post the winners, and post the image I entered as well (hopefully some of which we also be winners).
My upcoming projects include; a photo shoot for a UCM aviation student (with his plane!!) and tons more racing photography as the season opens up at Lasoski Speedway in Warrensburg.
Please keep checking back, I am still around and hope to be posting more soon!!
Thanks!
