Brian's Bio



Brian LaRoche

Brian was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina. He came from a functional family whose values are important for a promising and successful life. He shared a life with two beautiful sisters, whom he loves dearly. They have supported and comforted him while he was struggling for that success.

“Being on top of my academic throughout life, my parents allowed me to further my education at Southern Illinois University where I will be an upcoming senior studying Administration of Justice,” said Brian. “Through three years of taking care of responsibilities, maturing, being more determined and seeking what career will be beneficial to me I have discovered what I want to be in life,” he continues. “Becoming a model is what I chose and everyday I dream of being on the pages of magazines. I hope God blesses me as I embark on that journey,” said Brian.

“Giving honor and glory to the one who holds the throne, watches over, and blesses me through these hard times in which I dwell upon obstacles in my life, I’ve been exposed and engaged in unpredictable situations which I never thought I would experience. To feel like a flying insect trapped in an inescapable spider web or a lost child praying for help, I had to seek possible routes of freedom to better myself.” -Brian

The Hottest Model In Town!

Brian stepped into the studio last week to check out our work. He was interest in some comp card photos. Well, needless to say after showing him around the studio and seeing a few samples of our work, he was ready to come back and give us a try. WOW! What can I say. This young man is a natural. We got so many wonderful and exciting shots of Brian that we had a hard time going through the proofs. Brian was just as excited as we were.

Here is but a glimpse of what that man can do in front of a camera.

OUCH!

New Website Update

Good news! I started uploading images and text to my new website. Finally, I received the links today. Progress is a little slow because I have to upload lots of pictures and information. The website is going to be really cool. I can't wait to unveil it to everyone. It will be a much needed tool for Two Doves Photography. There will be client proofing, online ordering and even music to soothe your soul while you surf the site.

Construction Continues


Construction on the editing room continued again today. All the framing is up and now its time to do some wiring before the walls get enclosed with paneling. The room is starting to really take shape now. Hopefully the project will be completed by the end of the week or the beginning of next week. I am ready to get reorganized.

New Construction



Today was a very busy and tiring day. We started new construction on our editing room. Right now it is kind of out in the open. Our thought was that by closing it off into a seperate room it would give the studio a better feel, look and would be more private. Presently we have two shooting bays. After the new construction is completed the studio will have four shooting bays, one being a natural lighting bay, plus an additional editing station. There are currently four (with the office doubling as one.) This new design will give us more flexibility and more background options. Okay, now where did I put my hammer?

Stuff

I feel like I should be writing something every day in my blog, but sometimes I don't get the chance to. In fact, I am not sure anyone is reading what I am because I don't have a website that links to my blog. Well, I mean I have a webiste it's just that at the moment it is down because I will be coming online with a new website really soon. It should have been here before. My previous website was taken down because I thought a my new one would replace it within a couple days. Well that didn't happen so I am still waiting. When the new website goes online this will be old news. Anyway, at least I wrote something today. Hum! Not what? I hate waiting.

Model Amy


Meet Amy!

I had the opportunity to photograph this gorgeous lady's wedding. What a great time I had. This young lady was beautiful and very energetic. She also had the makings of becoming a model.

Not long after her wedding I invited her to the studio for some serious shooting of her in a wedding gown provided by Mr. Tuxedo. She had already expressed an interest in becoming a model and she was excited about coming to the studio.

When Amy arrived at the studio she was still full of energy and excitement. Her photo shoot went perfectly. The images I captured of her were beyond expectations. She looked GREAT! After her session she was eager to get on her way.

A few weeks later I received an email from Amy. Here is what she had to say: "I wanted to let you know that since our photo shoot I have started modeling in St. Louis. I just nailed my first big runway show audition. So Ive been pretty happy. Thank you for making me feel pretty enough to even try to follow a dream."

Nice going Amy. I am proud of you!
