Cephus doing a light check before the shoot.   Isn’t this a fab car!!!!!!!!

The team in action!!!      The best part of these productions is that we actually have a lot of fun!!!!!

Most of the time, I see things that only I can see.  That’s what makes photography so special!!!!!!!!!!

The car lineup was incredible!!!!!!

Pam Hopkins is truly the best at what she does.  She selects the models, contracts the hair & makeup artist, scouts locations, fitting with models, writes articles, etc.  This girl is baaaaaaaaaaad!!!!!!

Pam selected Sara for this  production because of her beauty, versatility and attitude.  Pam, nice pick!!!!!!!!!

Asst. editor Ashley Schaefer making sure every timeline is being met.  You rock Ashley!!!!!!

This is typical of Dave.  Brings one cup of coffee for himself.    Thanks Dave!!

The girls in motion.  Pam and Liz doing some last minute adjustments.

Whatever it takes to get the shot, that’s what I’m willing to do.  In order to capture great images, you have to be willing to take risks.

Dave and I make a great team.  He comes up with the vision and then I put it in motion.  We feed off each other for inspiration and ideas. More importantly, he pays for the power sushi lunches!!  He truly is one of the best creative minds in the game.

The Hampton Roads Mag Team.  Each and every one of these talented individuals played a role in this awesome production!!!!!!

What a way to start off my 2010 season by shooting the COVER  of  Hampton Roads Bride Magazine!!!!!!    Just want to take the time to thank Edtor in Chief, Melissa Stewart, Art Director David Uhrin,  Fashion Stylist and Coordinator Pam Hopkins and Asst. Editor Ashley Schaefer for assembling this awesome production.  Special thanks to hair and makeup extraordinaire Elizabeth Paschall and her design team for their hard work and effort in transforming our lovely cover model.  But last and certainly not least, our lovely cover model Sarah Busby for embracing us all with her astonishing beauty.  Come on out to the Hampton Roads Bridal Extravaganza on January 10th to get a copy of the magazine which also features Melissa and Stephen Stewart “Dream Wedding” in Williamsburg!!!!!!!  I was truly honored to photograph the Editor and Chief’s wedding as well.  Good times ahead in 2010!!!!!!!!!

When you have the power to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary, it’s a beautiful thing.  Just ask my client Rose Ortiz.  Rose got a dose of the “Keith Cephus Experience”, coupled by stylist and make-up artist Eleni Lewandoski.   My lens is officially on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This weekend was one of the best weekends of my life.  I was able to be a part of my sister’s retirement after 24 years in the Air Force.  Kim, thank you for the ultimate sacrifice you made in making this world a safer place to live.  After her lovely ceremony, we all went on tour of the Pentagon, the White House and several historical museums. On behalf of myself and the entire military family, I salute you sis on a job well done!!!!

Yesterday my little Brittany turned 18.   I wanted to do something special for her besides the typical old stuff.   So I brought her a little bling, took her to her favorite restaurant, (The Vintage Kitchen) and then took her to my studio for a fab photoshoot.  How cool is that????  Man where did the time go??????????  My Brittany is now a little lady…….

After one month of renovation, my home office is finally finished.    Still located at Maya Couture, in Norfolk, we now can service our Virginia Beach clients.  The 800 square ft. addition will increase productivity which results in clientele retention and customer satisfaction.  The office is equipped with two monster Mac Pro’s and two macbookpros for our editing needs.  Outside the office will be our  exhibit room, which will be also used for entertaining.  Just want to thank Brian from Big Improvements for doing a masterful job and staying within budget!!!!
