If there is one thing that I can promise you, it is that behind every photo shoot that looks magical there is a whole lot of planning. My shoot with Amanda from Amanda Authentically was no different. Being from Charlottesville, VA, Amanda knows all of the good spots and also plans her outfits accordingly. Which […]

Fat Babe Philly held their annual pool party on August 21st and it was such a great time. Karley, one of the organizers of the group, and I had a vision for a photo area where everyone could pose and have their swimsuit model moment. Karley gets all the credit for imagining and executing the […]

If there’s one thing to know about Darby (from Darby’s Diamonds), it is that she loves the water. Raised in Annapolis, MD, this girl has the bay in her blood and that makes every shoot with her feel like a nautical retreat, even if we don’t always get the water in the background. (We had […]

You know the meme that says “They Always Understand the Assignment” over an actor or actress who really goes for whatever roles are pictured below the text? That also applies to Sarah.

“Am I Cinderella?” Z grinned at me as she looked at the back of my camera in the middle of the row of lavender plants growing around us. Maybe it is because I spend too much time on Instagram, but I have always had this dream of shooting in one of those sprawling fields of […]

“Your hair is so cool.” One of the young girls cooed at Ange as her and her friend finished taking photos and walked by us on the path. “I just love coming here. Its like everything here is a muse. So inspiring for creative energy.” There are plenty of reasons that I love shooting with […]

Scheduling shoots with people I’ve never met in person is nothing new for me. Usually we’ve exchanged Instagram DMs. Maybe an email or two. With Renee, I’d actually spent some time with her on the phone. But nothing prepared me for meeting her in person. Renee is as beautiful and striking in person as she […]

I’ve never walked around with a celebrity before, but I imagine that being with Ange of Hairspray and High Heels is something close. While Ange has built a large and lasting online community, it isn’t that people specifically recognize her for her. Rather, it is the rainbow hair, badass outfit, and self-assured confidence that is […]

A Cropped Top. Snow. Fan flowing and dancing to Stevie Nicks. While it was never what I imagined my winter photo shoot with Anne to look like, I honestly should’ve. One of the things that I have always admired most about them is their ability to seemingly be 100% themselves, regardless of what other people […]

While I always get a little nervous before any shoot, this one was something special. And even more nerve-wracking than normal. It is one thing to shoot strangers. Another to shoot friends. And another entirely to shoot a friend who is a fellow photographer. Rachel (from Rachel Word Photography) has been a friend for many […]
