When I photograph people for their company promotional materials I enjoy seeing the end product and today was no exception.

I had photographed George C. Fondel II for his website and labeling for his protein performance shake called G. CARVER LIVE LEAN™.

The protein shake label reads:

“This protein performance shake is customized to nourish and promote healthy tone as well as increase muscle size and strength.

I’ve been so blessed to have been in the health & fitness industry as a Celebrity personal trainer for over 11 years.  G. CARVER LIVE LEAN protein performance shake helps you to get healthier and develop leaner muscle tone & growth regardless if your a professional athlete, amateur or are getting in shape for the first time.

Never Give Up and you Won’t Be Denied!  Drink G. CARVER LIVE LEAN!                                                                Yours in Health,  George C. Fondel II”

So check out his commercial below and check his website at gCarverLiveLean.com to try it out for yourself!

The 2012 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) takes place in Houston, TX from April 30-May 3, 2012

Houston is famous for it’s ENERGY industry and every year companies send their top executives to the OTC Conference to explore the latest technological breakthroughs and make new business contacts.  Many corporations also hold annual meetings for their international executives and Corporate Board of Directors, making it the perfect time for new group or individual photography.  Rapid updates and innovation are part of modern industry and your corporate image online and in printed material should reflect that.

You have probably been hearing a lot about MMA or Mixed Martial Arts training, as used by UFC fighters.  This combines a variety of styles that appeals to a larger audience.

It was incredible to have the Northcutt siblings here at the studio showing off their moves.  These siblings have won more Black Belt World Titles than any other juniors in history.  They are featured in this month’s Health and Fitness Sports Magazine.  Click on the video below to see the Northcutt siblings in action!

I am amazed at the maturity level of some of the high school students I meet.  One of these being a young woman I recently photographed for high school senior portraits, her name is Lauryn Nicole Emmitte.  At seventeen years old she has a greater understanding and appreciation for life’s possibilities than a lot of supposed ‘grown ups’ I know.

Lauryn participates in several school clubs such as the National Honor Society, the Leadership Training Institute, BETA (she is their Vice President), and Art.  She also loves sports and has been involved in five school sports—volleyball, soccer, track, cross country, and golf.  Her drive, will, and passion to be the very best student she can be is incredible and I am proud to say that Lauryn has a 4.0 GPA and is ranked 6th in her class!

On the weekends, she enjoys volunteering her time to serving others.  She spends her time in homeless shelters in Houston to give encouragement to the needy and provide happiness to those who need it most.        Another organization that she serves at is the Children’s Assessment Center.  This is an organization that helps sexually abused children in Harris County.  Lauryn says that children are her passion, and it makes her happy to know that she can make a difference in an unfortunate child’s life on any given day of the week.

Extracurricular activities take up the majority of her time. However, any extra moment she’s not doing homework or spending time with friends she is doing art. Over the years she has received over twenty awards including five consecutive state titles and several district championships as well as becoming the editor-in-chief of her high school yearbook.

Lauryn says she feels extremely blessed to have the talents that God has given her.  He has provided her with parents that love and care about her enough to support her in everything that she does.  She has learned that perseverance, strength, and a good attitude all contribute to success on and off the field.  Her goals for the future are to attend Texas A&M University and graduate with a Business degree.

Here at Evin Thayer Studios we love to feature these exceptional students.  Through the years Evin has served on several scholarship committees and he is constantly impressed at the level of achievement and compassion that he sees in the youth of today.  Evin has no doubt that America’s future is bright with young leaders like Lauryn.

It is NOW Senior time here at Evin Thayer Studios.

We look forward every year to donate our time and talents to the Astros Pet Calendar which features adoptable animals from the Houston Humane Society.  To purchase your copy visit the Houston Astros website or stop by one of the Humane Society’s centers.

We have loved working to raise money for the following organizations through the years:                                          AIDS Foundation Houston, Casa de Esperanza, KUHF Public Radio, Houston Ballet, Citizens for Animal Protection, Houston Symphony, Children’s Burn and Cripple Fund, and many more.

Evin recently photographed Nolan Ryan with adoptable animals for the no kill animal shelter Friends For Life.

What an honor it was last week to host the fundraising concert “Revealed: Unplugged” featuring Kenneth Gayle and Gary Norian.  This was presented and sponsored by the wonderful organization Music Doing Good.  Because of all of you who attended this concert we were able to raise over $4,500 for the Montrose Counseling Center.
