Ow ow ow!!! Getting a little steamy post Valentine's Day with these two! Major thanks to Magali Rachel for rocking makeup and grooming on this shoot. I can probably say way too much about these two, but I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
Valentine's Day is tomorrow guys... Hopefully you didn't forget to get your girl something special. If you did, surprise her with a photo shoot! Feel to shoot me an email.
I absolutely LOVE these two! Dylan and I met in New York in November 2014 at his agency Wilhelmina. Back then, I knew I wanted to work with him! Unfortunately, he was booked for the specific shoot I needed him for. Flash forward to August 2015 and he's in California, so we finally were able to shoot.
About a month later, we were both back in New York and Vita was about to head out on a tour for a few months. I had recently started working with bloggers and Vita is 1/2 of the Blonde Tigers, so of course I wanted to work with her. Of course it was absolutely necessary to get a shoot in before she left! Within a few hours of texting Dylan to ask if this could happen, we were shooting. We met on Bedford and wandered around and found some great spots to shoot along the stroll.
Oh these two!! First off, they are both the kindest and realest human beings you'll ever meet! My 50 1.4 stopped focusing & Brian was cool enough to let me borrow his lens for this! He and his girl Genevieve were in town & we were finally able to connect. Brian is a professional model with LA Models and a great photographer & Genevieve is a wardrobe stylist and blogger.
We didn't have much light at all, hence the New York Minute reference. We wandered around and shot as quick as possible with the little bit of light we had. Surprisingly we got some great images for shooting with next to no light in one of the busiest areas at rush hour.
Agape Attire sent along some sweet gear to style this session with Britt and Mitch. Mitch is a professional model signed to Next Los Angeles and Miami. He and I first met in Miami a year ago, so I was beyond stoked when he came to California and brought his friend Britt with him. They were awesome enough to step in for this styled shoot.
Noel Carlsen did Britt's makeup while Mitch and I headed to a few stores to grab some pieces. Although not every piece we used is Agape, we used at least one piece in almost every shot. We wandered around Long Beach & snapped some great images!
Jess, Rafael and I got together for a styled love session & it was wonderful! It was a full day of adventure and beauty (Jess & Rafael are both professional models with Two Management) in Malibu. The lovely Magali Rachel rocked hair and makeup while I went through their clothes and put looks together.
We drove up PCH in search of cool locations and eventually found this first spot at the beach. We had the beach basically to ourselves, which was awesome! Afterward, we drove back down PCH and found random spots along the way. It was such a fun and spontaneous day!
Capture real, raw moments.
