In the Orchards with Brittany

Test Shoot with Melissa Violet Orloff

I met Melissa at our shoot with HTR Images. I know how much she loves mermaids and I've been wanting to do a mermaid shoot. So I set up my own test shoot with her. 

 She's such a natural beauty.

Aren't those eyes mesmerizing?

GK In the Studio

GK is the first model I found on Model Mayhem who was reliable. I was so intrigued by his unique look that I had to contact him. He was on time, polite and prepared. I was so happy to see that he was actually studying male models, turbaned models in particular.  After our test shoot, I asked if he would be interested in doing this particular shoot. I wanted to play with studio lighting, bodyscape/fitness style.

 You know what happens when the model forgets his suit pants? You shoot him waist up!

 GK and I had a great time. It turns out that he already has quite the fan base with my lady friends! I have some more shoots in mind for him!

Sarah & Carson//Sandy and Danny

Sarah is one of the most creative people I know! She is always wanting to do a new set with her and Carson. When the fair came, she found the perfect opportunity to do a shoot inspired by Sandy and Danny! 

Boudoir with Sarah Alysse

Sarah Alysse is one of my favorite models! She's always positive and happy to shoot. When I've done her makeup, it has usually been a light, natural look. This time, I wanted to do something a little darker and edgier. This particular look was one of my favorites. Her eyeshadow is dark enough to be edgy without being too much, her blush and contour are so well blended and her lip color is a nice lip bitten red, without being too much. It's neutral enough to not clash with the dark eyeshadow, but bold enough to stand out and compliment her skin tone. 

Something I hear often is, "I'm a mom, I can't be sexy. I have stretch marks, cellulite and scars." Sarah is a mommy of two! I say this because I want to show what a professional photographer can do. She isn't a professional model, she just has the confidence of one! Posing, lighting, wardrobe and angles can do a lot to compliment women of any size, shape and insecurity. She admits to having her own insecurities, but she knows that she is a beautiful young woman who deserves to have her beauty captured.
