Reyna - SMG Models, Seattle

I had a fantastic time photographing and (finally) meeting Reyna.

We had followed each other's work for a few years online but had yet to meet in person. She needed to update her modeling portfolio so we did a quick spring time shoot together. We shot at Volunteer Park and 15th Ave close to my apartment.

She brought her awesome girlfriend Lanie and their amazingly adorable Schnauzer puppy, Drake, along and it was a blast. Such a gorgeous Seattle day too! Reyna is such a lovely lady and I mean, honestly, can I have your perfect eyebrows, please?!?

Katie - Boudoir / Model

Photographed a lifestyle boudoir session with the fabulous Katie Carlisle Brown!

We did a bit of video as well with Brett Renville filming again. The Air BNB we rented is owned by a cute couple who owns a vintage furniture store. They had the cutest decor and interior design skills! I was so in love with their spot.

Katie is such a sweetheart. She's incredibly photogenic & fluid with her posing. She has amazing tattoos too, made me really want to get more! It was really difficult for me to narrow these down which is always hard for me, but especially so in this case (which you'll see with how many images I chose for this blog post!). This is definitely up there in my favorite sets I've done.

I'm so into boudoir photography the last few months. I've realized how much I love it. I've made a big goal for myself to continuously learn more skills, to keep growing my business, providing more value for my clients and doing more boudoir, model portfolio shoots, glamour and senior portraits. I feel so excited to learn more about business and continuing to keep capturing my subjects in all their beauty and glory.


SVNLIGHTS

Reworking the layout and pages of my website, I noticed I mistakenly made a gallery of my set with Miki from 3 years ago instead of a blog post. I adore our shoot together and had to repost it here.

SVNLIGHTS is a jewelry collection handmade by the incredibly talented Miki Drake. We shot this series in my hometown of Tacoma, WA. I had an amazing time getting to know such an inspiring woman who is so deeply connected to her craft. The labor of love she puts into her pieces is so inspiring.
