Photo Shoot with Kailani

My favorite shot of the day.

This weekend I had the privilege of working with one of the most amazing ladies I've ever met. In addition to being a glamorous supermodel, Kailani is an artist, community leader, and activist. She works with an organization called Warehouse 508, located in downtown Albuquerque.


From their website:

New Mexico Sports and Warehouse 508 provide a youth-focused, youth-driven avenue to introduce, develop and professionally implement skills in the arts, music, outdoor recreation and non-traditional sports. Through mentorships and lifestyle events youth are invited to explore their potential and encouraged to create opportunities for themselves, take risks and begin thinking and acting as creative entrepreneurs. 

Warehouse 508 and NMX provide a wide range of programs and events geared toward and designed by youth in New Mexico. Working out of a 26,000 sq. ft. warehouse space located in Downtown Albuquerque, NMX and 508 provide safe, structured and affordable ways for youth to participate and engage in the arts and extreme sports.

The Youth Creative Crew consists of youth ages 14-21 making the organization truly for youth, by youth. Working with staff and instructors, the Youth Creative Crew implements projects from concept to completion including concerts, poetry slams and a wide range of workshops and events.

She is a passionately creative woman, with a very soulful modeling style. She's got noble, powerful features and a strong, graceful physicality. 

Lighting this time:

While I love the pictures, and I love Kailani, I feel that the gold umbrella may have made her face a little orange. And of course, the background was too dark AGAIN. I'm a bit perplexed, but still trying!!!
