Whenever asked what I love most about my job, my response usually includes: “Turning the beach into an office.” Back in early June, I was more than fortunate to turn the beautiful beaches of Jamaica into my office for a week while shooting the 2012-2013 Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders Calendar. It was, by far, the most unforgettable shoot I’ve had this year (minus the International Customs)!
I had the pleasure of shooting all forty of the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders at some breathtaking locations which included Ocho Rios, Montego Bay and Negril. With the assistance of Nick Suarez as well as Mike Benford and Matt Lange from the Falcons creative team, we walked away with some great images and terrific memories! You can purchase your own copy of the Falcon’s Cheerleaders Calendar by clicking here and be sure to check out some awesome behind-the-scenes video footage (filmed by: Robert Gilkes) here. Without further ado… I leave you with a small sample of the calendar and some behind-the-scenes photos. Enjoy!

Nick gives Jamaican Customs two thumbs up… I disagree.

The best studio I could ask for…
Shooting across the rocks at Tensing Pen. I’d highly recommend looking into this place for your next out-of-country vacation. The scenery was AMAZING! www.tensingpen.com
Shooting at Mahoe Falls, Ocho Rios with Miss February – Brittiney.
Setting the stage right outside of the resort we stayed at – Rose Hall Hilton in Montego Bay.

This is where I wish I was RIGHT NOW.

You really can’t blame me for napping on the job with this setup.
Yours truly…
Nick and I heading home in style. #duckface

That big van seems decked out, is it cozy inside? Do you have to do any extensive skin retouching or all the models have great skin to begin with?
