Photo Story // Haley

Haley and I always enjoy shooting with each other. At this point in our relationship with text each other with a million ideas for photos and then we plan a day to shoot. We were a little worried about the weather that day but thankfully my friend Bob was there to let us use his studio and play around with his lights and Mamiya 645 medium format camera. She always brings tons of clothing for us to style so we always end up with a ton of looks, which keeps shooting fun. After the shoot I took Haley to my favorite Chinese restaurant. It's always nice to just hang out after a long but fun shoot.

Another post with the film of Haley I shot will be coming in the near future.

Photo Story // Jasmine

Last week I shot model Jasmine. I've been interested in shooting her for awhile now and was glad that I finally had the chance to do so. My go to makeup artist Lauren O'Jea helped me created the beauty shots I was looking for. A special thanks goes to fellow photographer Jacob Martin for opening up his studio to us.

I rarely shoot any beauty shots. I think it's because I'm always thinking about the bigger picture. The wardrobe. The location. The pose. The face. Makeup is a big part of that but I never focus just on it. I want to do more beauty and portraits this summer.

Lauren O'Jea did a beautiful job on makeup. She was trying out the new MAC Big Bounce eye shadows. Apparently the shadows are gettin bad reviews but from what I see, they definitely did the job for the look I was going for.
