A girl with whiskey and a gun.
Do you trust her? Do you go after her? Do you run from her?
She's so sexy I decided to photographer her.

Very rarely do I get time to do something for me. We were in the middle of moving, life was crazier than it had been in months, it was the worst time to take two seconds out of my day to just play. That's when I KNEW this session was something I HAD to do. You should never be too busy to do things that are good for your soul.Taylor and I had been planning this session for a few weeks, waiting for the weather to break, waiting for me to make the feather jacket for her wardrobe, waiting on everything to be perfect. Another lesson that I learned during this- If you always wait for things to be "perfect" you will never do them. So on a a 20 degree, windy, winter day we headed out to capture a vision I had swirling in my mind. It felt so good to let go, be me, have no expectations, no results I HAD to get. It was just me, my model, and the camera. This is by far one of my favorite sessions I have EVER done. I find that when I am truly allowed to let go, I fall in love with my craft all over again. As time passes this year I am learning "photography" all over again. I am learning ME all over again, and it feels refreshing. I know not everyone will follow me on this journey, and that's ok, but I want you to take a look at what it looks like before you turn back:
Special thanks to Taylor, my beautiful model, for helping me bring my vision to life and for providing the remaining wardrobe. You allowed me to feel alive again.... that means more to me than you can ever imagine.

This girl lives beauty. Not only does she look the part, she has the heart to match. When she called me to inquire about a session I asked her to tell me a little bit about herself. She told me that she was a hair stylist and how special her job was to her, that like me, she loved making women feel beautiful. Another thing I loved was, yes, she wanted to gift this session to someone that stole her heart, but she also wanted to do it for herself, to embrace her younger years, to have something beautiful to look back on when she was (what she now thinks) is her prime.I loved working with this woman and I see her doing big things in her little cowboy boots ;) I dare say her prime is just beginning!

I can't believe I had forgotten to share this beautiful, amazing woman with you!!This is my AMAZING stylist, Jen. She's the talent behind many of my images. I love having someone I can 100% trust for my clients. It's always so exciting when a beautiful woman walks through my door and I know they are going to shine even brighter after they are done getting their hair and makeup done with Jen. I also have trusted her for the last 10 years with all of my own persona haircuts, from first seeing her and asking her to help me grow out a disaster, to 10 years later asking her what she thought about shaving half my head and her smiling saying- I think you can pull it off. She has a way of taking what you want- and making it better. It was so fun to see her on the other side of this experience!! We had a wonderful time, right in her own home, creating something soft and natural for her indoors, to then moving outside and doing something FUN and sassy- I love versatile girls with no fear ;)
