Isabel- Seattle Model Portraits

OMG, last week was crazy! My website was down for 4 days, I lost some client messages on my Instagram and my hard drive kept crashing. I was MEGA stressed. I am proud of myself for getting my website back online and transferring it between hosts (so long Namecheap, hello Google Domains!). I probably chatted with 8 different customer service reps in the 4 days. So glad I'm back up and running! Cheers to Isabel for being patient and waiting an extra week for me to get this session out during all that craziness!

Isabel is an awesome young model from TCM Models here in Seattle (where I'm also signed). We met at a casting call last year and I remember how bubbly and kind she was (which is starting to become exceedingly rare in the model industry it seems). She has a fantastic attitude and is she basically reminds me of a mermaid, fairy + princess combined as far as her looks go.

We wandered around my neighborhood around 15th Ave and found a cool community garden and garage with a view. I realized I locked my keys in my apartment (ARGHHH) and among all that chaos, her great attitude never wavered. We went and got ice cream and waited until my neighbor got home. Thanks for being such a fun subject, Isabel!

I like the different summer-y/boho/fairy vibes we created with the different looks and locations. The ear cuff portraits are something I wanted to photograph for YEARS! Glad I finally got to use that eBay find for a session.

PS- I saw "Wonder Woman" this weekend and it was GREAT. Girl POWAHHH! Gal Gadot is such a fox and is a great actress (and WHAT she's had two children with that bod?)


Chelsea Miller- Seattle Model + Photographer

I am basically in LOOOOVE with these portraits I created with the beautiful Chelsea Miller! She's a model & a fellow photographer here in Seattle.

We went for a very 1960s Mod-meets-modern style with a twist. First, we went to the downtown Library and Chelsea donned her vintage 60s looking dress. The library has such a fabulous architectural style and is so airy. It's always so nice to hang out in, especially when you have a corner of the library to yourself like we did.

We walked around downtown Seattle for a bit and happened to wander into this golden art deco building that was PERFECT. Added this gold foil flake to Chelsea's eye lids and changed into a mod black pea coat and a 60s-/90s flower blouse I had. I love all of the vivid and bold tones!

Thanks for being such a great model, Chelsea!


Coach Pre-Spring '17 - Dinky Crossbody Bag

Whoa. What an amazing amazing opportunity it was to be apart of Coach's Pre-Spring 2017 Influencer Campaign for their Dinky crossbody bag. The Dinky is beyond lovely and the perfect size for traveling. The oxblood and cherry color leather is so soft. I love the gold stamp on the inside of the bag too. I'm definitely going to cherish this purse for years to come.

The gorgeous Natalie Ischer was a fantastic model. We had fun imagining new areas to show off the purse in such a diverse location. After wrapping up the Dinky bag shots, I took some lovely portraits of her as well I really dig.

King Street Station in Pioneer Square, Seattle was our amazing location. I had only been to the other side of the station and for some reason hadn't found this amazing larger area(?!). It is so beautiful in there and was the perfect setting to display this modern but classic bag. The palm trees, white walls, ornate crown moulding, art deco light fixtures and subway tile, oh yesss!

I love doing lookbooks + social media content for brands SO MUCH! Quickly becoming one of my favorite types of sessions.
