Botany Study | Loom Sessions Part 1 | Bloomsbury Farms, Tennessee | Nashville Film Photographer

Part one of five from the Loom Sessions at Bloomsbury Farms, in Nashville, Tennessee. It was the first time I'd photographed in a workshop like setting, and so I opted to keep things as simple on my end as possible, putting the focus more on watching the direction, and story that Ginny Au had put together. For this portion, I used my Pentax 6x7, with Kodak 160 film. It was wonderfully challenging to limit myself to 10 shots a roll, as a sequence unfolded, and I loved the way it turned out. More to come soon!

Malibu California Bridal Session

Jeremiah and I jump at any chance we get to shoot on the coast. We were traveling in SoCal for a lovely wedding in Santa Barbara so we thought "why not do a bridal shoot!?" We brought this amazing Theia Couture gown from Willow Bride, and I made the bouquet with flowers from the downtown LA Flower Market! I somehow also managed to do Dani's hair and make-up in the back of our rental car. I think that's what we call ghetto fab, but the end result was magic and I'm so glad we did this shoot. I always love creating with my husband, even if that means dragging him to downtown L.A. so I can stare at pretty flowers. 

Ryenn: Kauai, Hawaii

This past April we actually went on real vacation with my family. It was absolutely wonderful to spend a week on the gorgeous island of Kauai...so much that I didn't want to leave and I would pack my bags in a heartbeat to go back!! Of course, we can't be somewhere that amazing and not do a shoot! We were actually looking at tumblr at pictures of the island, when this beautiful lady showed up. On a whim we reached out to her and I'm so happy it worked out to do a small fun shoot with her!!! Ryenn is obviously gorgeous, but she's also very sweet and talented. I wouldn't be surprised to see her face in a catalog or runway one day! Gotta say, I'm insanely jealous of her island life-style. I made the flower head piece myself using the flowers on our house's property. Thank you Hawaii for being amazing, sheesh!

Thanks a million Ryenn!! xoxo
