Jeff Ross Photography Blog
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.
Local author and client, Catherine Oaks released her first book today on Lulu. Catherine asked us to do her portrait that is the cover for her book. Here is a brief description from the online publisher that is distributing the book.
This book is about life and love. It is also about the courage to dare to live without boundaries and to learn how to bounce back no matter what happens to you. Through events the author lived and some analysis of societal and cultural trends, you will be exposed to new perspectives that will help you turn the negative events you are facing into positive outcomes. From dealing with the harsh realities of divorce to learning about hormonal challenges and living through bankruptcy and foreclosure, the author writes with a tint of humor that will leave you with a smile on your face.

On a regular basis we are asked by our clients to do studio portraits with a white or gray seamless backdrop, but recently Ding Communications came to us wanting more of a natural looking background for the executives at Bidart and Ross Investment Company.
We spent part of the day at the Bidart and Ross office in South Reno where all creative minds came together: Sarah Porter, the Account Executive for Ding Communications; Stan Byers, the Art Director for Zephyr Press; and Jeff Ross Photography. Tons of different ideas were being bounced off one another which in the end created a perfect scene.
By the end of the day everyone was happy with the end results and I was happy with the generous piece of financial advice I got from James Ross.
