Personal kids

This week we are working on 2 weddings and a family photo session that I am planning to blog next week.   Meanwhile, here are a few images I shoot outside 30 minutes ago.   We’re assembling ping-pong table that we received as a gift on Christmas.      Check back next week for posts on weddings.

Oh yes these are my kids,  Michael and Christina.   So now you know where the name MC Studios came after.   I started to shoot right before Christina was born - a little more than 5 years ago.

NEW WEBSITE You guys ready?

Hey guys.  Are you ready? .. took forever  to put together new web site.  Oksana (my wife) helped me so much.  I have couple
photographers who keep asking me “Andrey when when?“.   Official launch had to be done one week ago, but I had to take
extra photoshoots and processed all those images.. so site had to wait again:).  Images and clients come first.

I have a trip coming up where I’ll be gone whole week, so I decided to put up some screen shoots in case I don’t launch site tomorrow.

Here are 5 random web screen shoots.   New website is pretty clean & simple.   Big images thou.

Fashion photo session

This Easter David and Tania were vising parents and relatives and they flew from Charlotte NC.  Today we had such a beautiful dramatic sky.
We were NOT planning on any photoshoots, but when I saw this sky, I said “oh we got to do this”.     I grabbed my equipment
and when I came David was playing video game (some shooting game), so I said David let’s go, and he was like ohh rre you sure
Andrey?  So I offered David Sushi if he goes and he still didn’t feel like going.     So we settled for a photo shoot with out David.  (Something
tells me he is not going to regret it).   What is it with guys? Why they don’t like taking photos.  The thing is they LOVE looking at them
later on for hrs!  Amazing.

Las Vegas trip

Last week several of us traveled to Vegas.  We planned this trip for about 8 month however Alex Shik
@ Shiksastudio.com was reserving hotel last minute when we were actually driving.     Definately very
interesting trip.  We were going to bed at 3 am and had to wake up at 6:30 am.  So not much sleep:-).

Had a chance to meet and talk with photographers all over US and World.

The most memorable evening for me was when I was invited to the restaurant to dine.   First I had no idea who
were going to be there .   But when I realized that it was a small group of extremely hi end photographers my first
reaction was to back out.   In fact I turned around and didn’t want to go but Alex said, “Look Andrey if they invited
you than just go!”.
So I did and it was an incredible experience. There were 8 top photographers who traveled all over the world.  It was
so interested to talk one on one with this  photographers who handle multi million dollar weddings.  The whole dinner
was about 1 1/2 hrs long and after that I was talking to one photographer for a long time, but my phone was keep calling and
calling so I had to go:-(.  Extremely said that I couldn’t talk more because these guys didn’t mind talking to me for a long time,
witch TOTALLY shocked me!

Here is a little video of Vegas and another video of Fashion show that we got to photograph:)  ENJOY!.
