I’ve been a bit absent on this blog for a while, that’s about to change!

Here’s an image that I photographed for Metro Magazine back before the holidays! I absolutely love the drama of this image, sometimes there’s nothing better than simplifying things and opening up a door for some natural light to shine in!

This past fall, I was lucky enough to photograph the newest collection of Tara LaTour’s gorgeous gowns. Her work blows me away and she is most definitely a designer that is going to take the wedding industry by storm! This is the second collection of Tara’s that I’ve photographed, and each time we have gone to the drawing board to conceptualize the shoot, it turns out better than we could ever imagine! This collection was very inspired by an outdoor fantasy land, with an ethereal touch. When we began having conversations about the background of this line, Juliane James Place was the perfect location to photograph the collection, especially with the fall colors! What I loved about this collection is that each dress literally had a different personality. Tara had named each of her gowns, and we really tried to capture each of these dresses with their own identity and charm! You can check out our behind-the-scenes photos from this shoot here! Otherwise, enjoy these lovely images!

Testing is one of my favorite things to do, because it’s all about pushing your limits, trying something new, having complete creative control – and simply having fun! Amber Rose and I came up with a slew of ideas for testing one day over lunch, and braids seemed to be a common love between the two of us! We thought it would be fun to incorporate some stunning portraiture, more on the beauty side of things for this shoot and I love the way everything turned out! It was simple, it was a small crew and a super fun set. One light, White Paper, Boom.
