Amelia - Model - Long Beach, California

Amelia is basically a real life Disney princess, AM I RIGHT? She is English & Egyptian and has the loveliest English accent.

We spent a fun evening in Long Beach, California shooting around the waterfront and the lighthouse beach park. It was a gorgeous late Spring evening at golden hour. I really wanted to highlight her beautiful skin and get a nice added glow to sparkle in the sunshine. I liked the juxtaposition of the harsher sun light mixed with the warmth of golden hour by the beach. I also wanted to add in some 1960s Italian screen siren vibes with the wardrobe.

She and her boyfriend drove down from LA and I’m so grateful that they did so we could work together finally! We had been meaning to shoot together when she lived in Seattle but it worked out shooting her in her new home area. Thanks so much for being such a fun model & a total sweetheart, Amelia!

Kylie- TCM Models, Seattle

I recently shot with my fellow TCM model, Kylie Monson. Heavens! She is absolutely stunning! She looks like a young Claudia Schiffer + Hailey Clauson combo.  Kylie is only 16 but she's already a pro at posing. We had definite Malibu Barbie / California surfer girl vibes going on for this shoot and wanted to keep it very summery, bright and fun! We hung out around my neighborhood on Capitol Hill and then headed to Pike Place Market.


Nick - Model

Nick is awesome AND he's the first ever male model I've photographed! He was kind enough to let me use he & his girlfriend's cute apartment studio they set up themselves. We are both Game of Thrones nerds, phodels (photographers + models haha) & indie music fans. Glad to have met this guy for sure, it's always lovely having friends with similar interests.
