Forever Young: Tribute to the 80's

Playful and fun, despite the rain! That is what I look for in most Winter shoots ( :



Our idea was to play around with color and textures, with bright bold lips hi-lighting each look.

Erin Madison, a new favorite muse, arrived in Portland from Eugene for our shoot, so of course we were going to shoot rain or shine. The first half of the shoot was perfectly sunny and deceptively cold, but by the end of the shoot we were having to duck for cover in the forest!

This set is from the first look... 2 more looks to come!

So, I am putting together 6-7 pieces for my show this March. The pieces will be up for all of March, but the reception is March 4th so mark your calendars!

As I work out my inspirations this winter, I find myself gravitating towards nature. Even rain seems to be less of an evil and more of a collaborator these days. Anyhow, here are some shots from a recent shoot with Edge Agency's Megan Hodge.



It literally poured the entire day, which meant we had to shoot under cover for the first 3 looks. The second half of our shoot was quite the test of my team's spirits. I think we managed really well, however! I'm posting the shot of my assistant Nick Wilson keeping cover for poor Megan!
