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!

Cross Country Road Trip | Winter 2016

 

I usually fly home to Virginia every winter for the holidays, but this year Chris and I decided to drive. There are just so many places in the US worthy of visiting and I needed a break from work and the ups and downs of life. Every sunset was stunning, every road was unique. There's something about traveling that makes me feel content. Life just starts to feel stagnant after a while and seeing new places is the best way to get out of a funk. We took our cat Lula (kind of a nightmare, but we survived!) and we stopped in Bend on the way out of Portland to visit Chris' parents. Of course we left the minute a huge snowstorm hit Portland and Bend, but we slowly made it over the mountains, tire chains and all. Not gonna lie, I was a little terrified that we'd slide off the side of a cliff. But we made it through! 

A few of our stops included Austin, Nevada (a very strange little town in the middle of ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE, but beautiful landscape everywhere), Las Vegas (incredible), the Hoover Dam (freaking huge), the Grand Canyon (we woke up at 5:30 am to see the sunrise!), Albuquerque (had a delicious Bahn Mi), Amarillo, Texas (bought a decorative Armadillo), Oklahoma City, Memphis (GO TO THE BASS PRO SHOPS PYRAMID, it's CRAZY), Nashville, and finally Lynchburg at 1 AM in the morning. It was stressful, fun, memorable, silly and beautiful. I haven't gotten my film photos back yet, but these are my favorite digital images from the trip. I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season. 2017 is going to be crazy, that's for sure. Chris and I will be driving back to Portland sometime in March, then getting married in April in Hawaii. I have plans of taking my creativity in a whole new direction, as well as focusing on my mental health, physical health, and spiritual health. We'll see how that goes...

Happy New Year!!!!! 

 
 
 

New music video release! "Bag of Bones" by Rugby

bagofbonesfinalcoverlowres

The past few months have been crazy. 2016 hasn’t been the greatest so far, but I’m hoping from this point on there will only be positivity and happy memories. I took some time off of photo shoots, regrouping and catching up on editing. I’ve also been working hard on this music video for my band, Rugby. My boyfriend, Chris, and I filmed the video in Astoria, Oregon in one day. We focused on getting unique and beautiful shots and angles, drawing inspiration from old French films. The song has been in the works for over 5 years, and will be on our upcoming full-length album, Worldly Wise, due to release this summer. I edited the video and came up with the concept so it honestly feels like I’m releasing a big part of my soul into the universe. I’d truly appreciate if you gave it a watch, and shared it with friends and family if you like it.

Have a beautiful weekend!
