The Zulu Lundi Gras Festival. New Orleans, Louisiana (February 2017)

Bethany is a brilliant singer, actress, and I think I can now add to that list - my friend. She's based here in Houston and we collaborated on this shoot a couple of weeks ago. A selection of photos from the first part of our shoot follow below & my suggestion is that you hit the play button below to hear her amazing voice as you scroll through the gorgeous photographs from our session.

I'd like to say thank you to a few people who helped to make this shoot happen:

• Eric Hartley (538 Studio) for hunting down the vintage rotary phone;
• Claudia De Velasco (A Day To Remember) for helping make the flowers happen; and
• The ladies of Fill In The Blank Studio (Kari, Jayne & Nicki), where we shot this.
  

And not the least of all, a big giant thank you to Bethany McCade - for being a fantastic model, doing her own hair & makeup and being an excellent collaborator on this shoot. Thank you Bethany, could not have done this without you! 

 Stay tuned for Look #2.

Welcome back! It took a bit longer than I had planned to get around to posting the photos from the second half of my shoot with Hannah. Looking at the gorgeous photographs following though, I'm sure you'll agree they were worth the wait :-)

As I mentioned in my previous entry about the first part of the photo shoot, Hannah & Scott are in the middle of a pretty extensive home remodel and so, this second part of our shoot was hosted by their dear friends and next door neighbors (… well, pretty much next door) Emily & Eric in their gorgeous and also recently redone home.

I had a fantastic time at this shoot and really, really love the images we got! A big thank you goes out to Emily & Eric for opening their home up to us. To Scott for being the awesome husband to Hannah that you are (and for buying her that beautiful dress so many years ago!). And the biggest thank you of all - thank you Hannah for being an awesome model, for facilitating the location logistics, for being patient through the shoot as we set lights up & took them down & changed them & tweaked them, and for hanging in there as the day got longer & tiring! Hugs & blessings!! :-)
