I've been doing a lot more photo shoots with models lately (as opposed to the manequin) because the shop needs a more engaging look, I think. This week I worked with Lacey Walker, a stunning young lady who works A LOT in Albuquerque. I can see why. She is really amazing. She showed up with her sister for company, and was ready to shoot.
We've got one of the most BEAUTIFUL campuses in the world right here in our own neighborhood! The University of New Mexico is right down the street from my house. It only seemed right to do a back-to-school photo shoot with the lovely and wicked smart Acacia for our new fall stuff.
Acacia and I met again this Sunday for a new photo shoot and it was an AMAZING DAY!!!
We went back to that same place along the Rio Grande. Everything is so green! Lots of reeds and beautiful grasses. Photographing Acacia is SO FUN! She has this unique mix of wild bohemian and urban refinement. Plus she's a young woman just standing right on that precipice, ready to fly out over the world. That excitement and complexity is very compelling, and I feel it very strongly when I'm photographing her...
