New shoot for Military Spouse Magazine




From caring for his Doberman Pinscher and min-pin to shooting out on a gun range, Robert Duncan is a cowboy with one hat but many talents. Jeff Ross Photography spent the afternoon with Robert and his wife Donna and their son Cody in Fallon, Nevada. We learned a few things about gun safety. And respect for large Dobermans. Robert will be in an upcoming issue of Military Spouse Magazine , which features spouses of active duty service personnel.

 


Jeff Ross Photography was on location last week with our long time client Animal Artistry. February marks the wrap up the the Safari Club International convention held in Reno each year. Animal Artistry is a major exhibitor for the convention and displays many dioramas from its clients. AA has us come in to their facility and photograph their elaborate pieces before being shipped out to the clients.

What do you get we you mix 14 lights, 20,000 watts of power, thumping tunes and 8 of the hottest showgirls in Reno? A smoking photo shoot for Harrah’s newest adult cabaret show.

“X Burlesque” is in production for Harrah’s Reno. For 90 minutes, the burlesque beauties bare their assets all while teasing, seducing and playfully interacting with the audience.

Husband and wife team Matt and Angela Stabile are the clever creators of the titillating production. The provocative yet artful show has been infused with even more energy than years before. “We always like to re-invent the show and make it sexier, edgier and better than ever,” said producer, Angela Stabile.  We’ve added two new curtains and brand new, “barely there” costumes. We know the experience will stay in people’s heads long after the show ends.”

X Burlesque combines high-energy performance with the use of outrageous props such as bathtubs, guitars, lollipops and feather boas to fulfill the audience’s every fantasy.

Don’t miss this show when it hits Harrah’s Reno.
