Stephen ::: Fashion ::: Yacht Club

Lately I have really been getting more into fashion & editorial photography and am LOVING it. The creating and concepting everything to the post processing afterwards has open my eyes to so much more and brought back a lot more passion to my art. After shooting for more than 6 years it can start getting mundane here and there but to throw in a new style and and avenue is so exciting. Then to be able to bring that through to all my other areas of photography is even more exciting!
My friend Stephen has been helping me a lot in this area as he has been working on his model portfolio for his agency but then also has an eye as far as art direction goes.
While creating a concept for another shoot we stumbled upon a spread that we HAD to recreate. The first one here is more Yacht club/old hollywood style. Let me know what you guys think, lots more to come!

Esther & Dave ::: Engagement

This past weekend Esther & Dave drove down from Chicago for the weekend to do a little photoshoot here before their wedding in April. We met up at the local coffee shop Fido and hung out for an hour getting to know them a little better! I LOVE them! We hit it off so well and my favorite was how they met...Dave hearing Esther's laugh in the library at school and peaking around the corner to see her to then them becoming friends and he constantly hearing her laugh from the dorm above. They fell in love and make such a beautiful couple that compliment each other so so well. Here are some of the favorite pics! Can't wait to shoot their wedding in a few weeks!! **CLICK HERE** for the slideshow too!

Grail Ives ::: Music

Yesterday, my friend Stephen aka Grail Ives released his first single: Wrapped in Shadows on iTunes! I am so so excited for him as it's been a work in progress and to finally see it all come together is so amazing! Plus it sounds killer! Go buy it NOW!!!
I did the cover artwork for this project: photography and design. It's a really different style for me..but I'm LOVING branching out more and more! We had the concept of doing something very greek mythological, like the old romantic paintings. It was fun just making things up as we went along, this shot was more of a mistake then anything...but it ended up being our favorite!

Also, I was also able to shoot in the studio, during the creation of this song, several different days to get some super raw photos...check those out below as well!

Aliegh ::: Fashion

A couple weeks ago my beautiful friend Aliegh asked if we could collaborate on a shoot together just for fun and to try out some crazy new looks. Her friend Giovani Diaz is a hair and make up artist did a ridiculously amazing job! We shot for a little bit yesterday then literally edited for about 4 hours last night through these because I was SO crazy excited for how they turned out! Check out some of the favs! They are crazy edgy and I LOVE it!

Chelsea & Brock ::: Wedding

Back in December my amazing friend Jamie Delaine asked me to help her shoot a beautiful wedding down in Alabama. I of course agreed as I rairly EVER get to see Jamie and any opportunity for our crazy times together is always welcome! When I picked her up from the airport she explained the details about the wedding and who we were shooting for... hilariously the bride and I were already friends on fb as she is a fellow photographer! The wedding was on SUCH a perfect day and every detail planned out so well! SUCH style I couldn't handle it! Photographer weddings are always some of the best because they know exactly what details are important! The wedding was at Auburn University in the theater...and the ceremony was put on as almost a play! It was brilliant! The reception was at a beautiful church up on a hill by a lake. SO. Perfect. I'm so excited for these two and their beautiful life together!! Check out the **SLIDESHOW HERE**
