Pink Glam-onade Glitter Shoot | Emily Mazour & Tree Sphinx & Blair Doucette

 

I'm obsessed with this shoot. I've been on a hiatus of sorts when it comes to fashion shoots. When I first moved to Portland I did so many shoots that I burnt myself out. But lately, with the emergence of spring and the sunshine finally on its way, I'm feeling super inspired for the first time in years. 

Emily Mazour was the creative genius behind Blair's pink and yellow hairstyle. Chelsea Sinks, also known as "Tree Sphinx", is responsible for the glitter and makeup magic. I recently acquired some new filters and experimented with Emily's ring light, and it was enough to convince me that I needed a ring light of my own (which I'm purchasing today)! 

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot. Make sure to scroll to the end of the post to check out my fav film photos (polaroids, holga, 120mm, etc.). Can't wait to work with this incredible team again!

Haunt + Holly Stalder Designs SS18 Lookbook | Portland Fashion Photography

 

Always always always excited to shoot with lovely Holly Stalder, an incredibly talented and sweet designer located here in Portland. Her boutique, Haunt, is one of my favorite stores around because of it's array of one-of-a-kind vintage and handmade clothing. Holly and I have worked together quite a few times, but I'm consistently inspired by her creations. She even designed my wedding dress for me last April! She is truly a gem in the Portland fashion world. Below are my personal favorite images from the SS18 Lookbook we photographed last month. The photos are a mixture of film and digital, and feature the stunning Anna Kate of Reaction Models. My all-time favorite hair and makeup artist, Gina Campbell, killed it with the looks for this shoot. I could honestly work with these ladies every day for the rest of my life and be happy. <3

 

Storm & Stress Lookbook - Cabin in the Woods | Portland Fashion Photography

 

It's an incredibly blustery day here in Portland, and from what I've heard it's chilly on the East Coast too. I'm not sure whats up with this weather, but I just keep checking the forecast in Maui because I'll be there next week! 85 degrees and sunny. Yes, please. I've been running around doing errands all day, getting ready for my wedding there next week. So crazy!

Before I head to Hawaii though, I want to share some of my favorite images from a recent lookbook I photographed for Storm & Stress Jewelry. The owner (and the model in these photos!), Deidre, is an incredibly sweet and talented lady. We worked together a few years ago and have been itching to work together again ever since. We both love all things dark and eerie, so we took 2 four-wheelers deep into the woods on my grandfather's farm. He has an old hunting cabin filled with so many crazy and creepy things. It was the perfect backdrop for this haunting shoot, and I'm obsessed with the way the photos turned out.  

Take a look at the images below, and make sure to check out Deidre's stunning creations on Etsy!
