Out of chance, I met with Jessi Reems-Terrell, lead singer of the band Champagne Sunday. While I was out to lunch with some friends, Jessi mentioned to me that she was looking for some new band photos that had an edgy look. I gave her a link to my website and if the band liked my work then we could schedule a shoot. Sure enough I received a text later that day from Jessi and the shoot was on!
She was looking for a studio shoot that reminiscent The White Stripes' image.A good friend, artist Paul Benavidez had large sheets of red paper and helped me cover the walls with it and the glass of a window in order to bring a unique, one of a kind look for the shoot.
Champagne Sunday has won the allegiance of fans from coast to coast through touring and radio play since 2005. Their music has also earned them several MAVRIC AWARDS including best Overall Song of 2007, Best Rock Song of 2007, and Best Vocal Group of 2008.
In the beginning of September of 2009, Champagne Sunday plans to go on tour around the United States for one full year. They plan touring through Seattle, Colorado, Texas, and so on. Leaving their homes in Ventura and everything the have behind, they will share their music to world. Definitely a performance not to be missed!
It was a privilege and honor for me to work with them and create electric band images. Words can’t describe the synergy that was happening during this shoot. Our connection was definitely on. I hope that these images contribute to their success!
