My wife and my favorite model to shoot. Her look is always elegant and timeless. She endures hours of practice shoots, lighting tests, and equipment wrangling. She's also my business partner and biggest fan, not to mention the source of most of my best themes and ideas.
Joelle wanted to update how portfolio with creative studio and beach photos and we were able to accommodate in one session. Although getting shoulder deep in the water wasn't part of the plan, the idea came up and we rolled with it. The resulting shots were fantastic. I can't wait to work with her again.
A little creativity in your shoots can go a long way. These photos were actually shot in our garage in an inflatable kiddie pool. We added in some cool lighting effects, water coloring and flowers for the resulting images.
