Jessica Rey asked me join this shoot featuring her new cover ups. She had planned it with Kristin Rogers (who happens to be a dear friend of mine). I love Jessica’s philosophy: that a bathing suit can be flattering and modest while still being cute. I’ve had such anxiety trying to find swimsuits that don’t show too much and this sort of thing is perfect for someone like me! Plus I heart anything vintage or vintage inspired!

My friend and makeup artist extrodinare, Amy Clarke put on a fun shoot where a bunch of photographers, models, makeup artists and hair stylists got together for an all day extravaganza. I’ve known every single hair and makeup artist for a long time so it was really great to work with all my amazingly talented friends!

I looked at it as an opportunity to practice my off camera lighting and try something I don’t normally do. It’s difficult to use off camera lighting at weddings because there’s usually a limited amount of time and lighting takes time to set up. I’m still working on it but I am happy with how these came out.

Makeup Artists:
Amy Clarke
Brandie Bedell
Shelia Northcutt

Hair Stylists:
Melody Rachunok
Vanessa Del Campo
Kristen Camancho Enriquez

Makeup by Brandie.

I’ve been photographing Vanessa for years! Makeup by Brandie, Hair by Melody:

This is my absolute fave from the shoot. I love the colors and it’s my favorite time of day with and without lighting.

Our friend/make-up artist needed some head shots for an upcoming album that she’s singing on (she’s multi talented!) So of course we shot them for her.

A few faves:

Her blue eyes are amazing!

She won’t like this but it was too funny not to post!

Last week we went to the train tracks to shoot our sister-cousin-niece-friend (that’s what we call her) Cassie. She always does something unusual for her Christmas Shoot. We had so much fun!

A train came.

So Chrismas-y!

Jeremy got this amazing shot.

LOVE this.

Burr! It’s chilly!
