Wonderbread Billboards

You may remember these photos of Najera and Nash from last year - I finally got to see the final product and thought I'd share...and remember, if you need a photographer, Hello, My name is Chantel!

Shavano Commons Website Photos

I normally photograph people, so the Shavano Commons project was a little different for me. (Maybe because I wasn't saying things like, 'tilt your head, drop your chin, give me more hip...') Regardless, these office buildings are beautiful - I seriously would live in one if I could. Designed by award winning Roberto Kenigstein and Leonard Holzman, they don't disappoint! When you get a chance check out their site www.shavanocommons.com And if you need a website, the Web Designer, Tracie Ochoa of Taylor Ochoa Designs can be reached at www.todesign.net . And as always remember, if you need a photographer...Hello, My name is Chantel! www.cnphotography.net

Toyota Manufacturing Plant, San Antonio, TX

Its not every day you get to tour the San Antonio Toyota Manufacturing plant...what a treat! If you're into discovery channel, robots, heavy machinery or you just want to see how your Tacoma is made - than this is the place to be! I was asked to take some environmental head shots of Toyota's team members for their Visitors Center and it was a blast! We walked a quarter of a mile and back again (that place is HUGE), saw every department from inspection, paint, welding, etc, etc. etc. and got some great photos! (None of which I can post - top secret designs in there). But as you can see, Nikki and I got to suit up in hard hats, paint suits and goggles...No matter where you need your photos taken, remember...Hello, My name is Chantel and I take good pics in a hard hat too!

University Health System Billboards

If you've been texting while driving, then you probably haven't seen University Health System's newest billboards as part of the Living Proof campaign. I got the chance to work again with Geomedia (http://geomedia.com/) while they did the commercial spots (http://www.youtube.com/user/UniversityHealthSys). It was a busy week and my assist and I only had about 10min per setup to get our stills...but I'm happy with our results! The Patients, Doctors and Nurses featured are all real - no actors here. Makes you appreciate how hard University Health System works for our community - hopefully you won't have to meet them anytime soon, but if you do, they'll take great care of you! And remember, if you need a photographer, Hello, My name is Chantel!

Fame

I recently got to photograph some cool Cowboys (the singing kind) for the folks out at the Valero Texas Open. Kevin Fowler was a lot of fun - he has quite the stage presence! Check him out - and if you need a concert photographer...Hello, My name is Chantel!

Goodwill - Re project Stills

I'm a little late posting, but about a year I shot some images for the Goodwill Re campaign. I remembered when I was donating some old clothes this weekend and ran smack dab into a face I had photographed. On that shoot, I learned some life lessons from some people who lived to tell them and now work for Goodwill. What a great company/organization/life line! Goodwill does not just take your old junk - they help change lives. Remember if you need a photographer...Hello, My name is Chantel!

VIVA FIESTA!!!

Well, its that time...San Antonio Fiesta 2010! Had some fun with my daughter Zoe...cracking the cascarones and playing in the beautiful spring weather we're having.

Jean Wine Bar Photos

I recently combined two passions...Wine and Photography, but not in that order. Jean Wine Bar is a mellow little place on 1604 - its got a cool vibe and has a stellar vino list. Check out the photos I did for their website www.jeanwinebar.com ...and go ahead, have a glass of wine while you view the images...you know you want to!

I wonder...

...what they put in that bread? I had the coolest opportunity to photograph Steve Nash for Wonderbread recently. The film crew was the best (especially the DP...shout out to my husband Zach Nasits!) Check out the commercial at www.geomedia.com. Remember, if you need a photographer...Hello, my name is Chantel.

Updating CN's business cards...

Well, you've seen the front of the new card (ahem, see the header for my blog, its also my new facebook profile image...pay attention ya'll!) Thought I'd keep it simple this time. I'm doing a fresh look for the commercial / production stills audience...let me know what you think...I kinda like em! Maybe if you're lucky, you'll get one. Hey, and if I'm lucky, you'll give me a job! Remember, if you need a photographer...Hello, my name is Chantel.

Just a few photos to introduce myself...

I created this blog to show off a small smattering of my commercial photography. I'll be posting some production stills and other gems here. Here is one of my favorite fliers - models, babies, food, and wine...what else more do you really need...seriously!? More coming soon and remember, if you need a photographer...Hello, my name is Chantel.
