PRE-FALL 13

I already cannot wait for Fall 2013. Majorly inspired right now from Erdem Moralioglu.

Here are some highlights I'm dying over!

Farmyard Darlings

Last year I met the most inspiring and beautiful women at a small town art faire. Carole Sinclair and Kim Berry are the Farmyard Darlings "Expert sleuths specializing in uncovering vintage treasures".

These ladies are truly inspirational. As soon as you set foot in their shoppe, you are welcomed and your eyes begin trying to take it all in. I for one, love the rustic stuff. Trunks, books, skulls, crates, tables, mason jars turned lamps; you name it, they've got it and you want it.

Carole and Kim find their loot anywhere and everywhere. From antique shows to barns you never thought you'd find. Pickin' is what puts a smile on their face, and mine as well.

Getting to follow them around and take pictures of their pickin' experience is always a blast. I love to watch their creative and business process. Excitement fills their souls during every pick, and boy is it contagious. To see so much passion from these amazing ladies, makes me not want to give up on my dreams.

Check out their reel down below! :]

Come back, be here.

And so it begins. Plans for a trip to the other side. First stop: Nashville.

I'm sure my suitcase will be lighter than my camera gear.

Seeing the country I live in, is so important to me. Not only through my photographers eyes, but through my soul. The thought of it is so freeing. There is so much in this country I haven't seen or experienced. I finally feel open to it all. I want to capture it all, me and Floyd (yes, I've got a name for my camera).

I have always had a love affair with things of the South.

        Open fields, barns, mossy wooden fences,  dirty boots and the sound of running horses. I can almost taste the crisp, open air now.

The idea of traveling has always been a romantic one to me, and I intend to have a wild and free romance with the South, with my camera strapped around my neck, ready to aim.

First Post!

Hello!

This is my first blog post ever. The whole point of starting this is to show anyone that stumbles upon this blog, what goes into producing and executing a fashion shoot. Everything! That means: location scouting, inspiration images & music or movies, sketchings of shot lists, prop hunting, garment pulling and that's the tip of the iceberg.

I never would have thought I would love doing fashion photography as much as I do. It's something I can take extremely seriously but also have fun with and make my own.

What I love about photographing fashion, is creating a world I can't live in and a girl I'll never look like. Creating fashion imagery is my way of caring out my different personalities that we all have.

So, since I am new to the whole world of blogging, I will try to keep on top of this as much as I can!
