Come On In and Stay A While

Welcome to the blog of Staja Studios. We are STAcey and JAson Thon, the dynamic duo (self proclaimed) behind Staja Studios! This blog serves as our way to keep in touch with everyone we know, like, and love. We thought it would be a fun way for people who know us to keep up with what is going on in our lives and studio, and a wonderful way for those of you who may have just met us to learn more about who we are.
We would like to bring together our professional and personal lives. You can expect to see pictures from our latest weddings, engagement shoots, portraits, etc. As well as some personal, fine art, family pics, and other projects. In addition, we will be sharing our "Cheers and Jeers", and other random ramblings about whatever strikes our fancy. In the future we are also looking for ways to make things more interactive, if you will. This may include voting for a particular marketing piece, contests, and various other activities.
Thank you all for stopping by, and don't forget to - Get Captured!

Fun With Fashion - Part 3

Now that we are back from vacation, it is time to get a few images touched up and taken care of. For the past week's class, we constructed a mini set. As a group, we decided to utilize the window in the wall and put a gel over a strobe light and create an exterior light source similar to window light. This helped give the "room/set" a look and feel like there was a neon light outside, which also matched the model's blue dress. Similar to the past two weeks, we rotated turns shooting. I wanted to use this as an opportunity to really incorporate some of the looks I like in photography, but don't always get to utilize while shooting. I wanted a really moody and sultry night look. I hope that came through in the images. Let me know what you think.

Hello Jason,

Good use of light and gels.

I like the second pic the best, but the last one definitely shows the dress nicely too.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Carlos, thanks for the offer. I will have to take you up on it sometime. I'm bummed we couldn't catch up while I was in FL. I would have loved to seen your studio!
