Rene Lopez and I will be hosting a costume-themed group shoot at his warehouse in Orange County!! There are various locations where you can set up for shooting, we will have a brief orientation prior to starting the event.
The purpose of this event is to raise money for my indiegogo campaign to open my own studio as well as collect toys and money for Toys for Tots. Any donation you can provide to either cause is greatly appreciated. If you can not make this event please make a donation to your local Toys for Tots or http://www.toysfortots.org/
Also, any help you can provide with promoting my studio funding campaign including sharing my indiegogo page with your friends, non-cash donations, business partners, employees, volunteers, etc. is greatly appreciated. Please also like and share my Facebook page:
Models will be posing in winter costumes, handmade costumes, and hopefully bodypaint!!! Some models will be posing at various levels of nudity and may choose whether or not they will do so during the group portion of the event.
I will be bringing some props, costumes, etc. for use during the shoot. Please let me know if you have any specific requests and I will do my best!
If you are planning on attending, I recommend that you bring your own lights, extension cords, triggers, backdrops and or setups to shoot with. After the group shoot, we will break down for the one-on-ones, you can then go into the various areas of the warehouse to shoot with your model.
I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area on the day of the event but I would like to help you towards your goal. Send me an email and let me know your mailing address to send money and studio lighting equipment. I believe in ya!

Ruben, as I've said before I would never have been able to realize my potential behind the camera if you hadn't given me one. Above and beyond that you have always had more faith in me than I have and I am so glad to finally be realizing my potential and inspiring others.

But I will try and donate what I can. Hope you all have fun
Jeneva, you are a sexy beast!! There is always some one that will want to shoot you. Congratulations on the baby and come take it's first Christmas pictures!! Your personality, confidence, and style are what The Funk! is all about!! Thank you for your support!

I think this is a great idea and can't wait to see it all come together. I'm jealous....
John
It would be great to see you again! Hope you can make it, but no problem with the priors.
I believe multi-functional is the only way to go in 2013 and everyone is jealous of something some one else has, even if only a slight tinge for a fleeting moment. You will be welcome there, you will be a part of bringing "The Funk!" to the world. No reason to be jealous of that.
Anyone who brings a new, unwrapped toy gets $20 off the shoot fee!!
If you donate to my campaign, there are perks to choose from which include discounts and/or free shooting time with me that does not expire and can be cashed in at this shoot or during any other group shoot or private shoot!!!!
Last weekend Linco had gave away a $800 super sized umbrella at another event.
Yes, Bruce, from the Linco Store gave away a $900 umbrella/stand assy at my shoot last weekend. Check out what he's got up his sleeve for this Sunday.
A hot model line-up + $20 off of the shoot fee if you bring new, unwrapped toy for a great cause. It looks like this one's got everything going for it... why, hell Joylyn's worth the price of admission herself!
*hugs* I miss you too! Who else will understand my random cat noises? (or at least not walk away from me with a strange look on their face when they hear them?)
OMGness!! So much awesome news to come home too!!!
So, I just went and checked out the raffle items for this event and I have to say I'm super excited!!! You can check out and like Linco on Facebook and YouTube to see all they have to offer and maybe get your favorite photographer (yourself) a little something for Christmas!!
Gregg, you rock and always make me blush... Thank you so much!!!
Britney, I accept anyone who accepts me and am especially fond of fellow socially awkward and less "popular" models.
Sadly, I had to cancel two models. It is just a very busy Sunday for group shoots.
Thank you Jean and Mariela for your continued support!! If you have not worked with either of these ladies, take a look at their work, they are masters of their style!!
For those of you that are attending:
I can't wait!!
Photographers, you have a 20% chance of winning the raffle, unless you increase your odds
It won't be crowded, you will get some great shots!!
