Ever since I saw her pictures several months ago, I have been intrigued by this model. Her look is sublime. Perfect for Miri!

I love lookbooks! Such a great way to showcase designs and photo-shoot ideas!

Photo Shoot at the Bosque with Lacey

Spent the evening with the beautiful and lovely Lacey Walker and my new-ish camera (Nikon DS3200). I'm still learning about the settings and have a long way to go. A lot of the shots came out too bright because I had the aperture too wide, and a lot of the shots came out kind of blurry, for some reason I cannot understand. Learning curve!!!

Photo Shoot with Toxic Tears!

In trying to rebrand Miri, I have been very attracted to the concept of a journey. This journey could be through time and space, and could be facilitated or symbolized by textiles. Textiles connect us with our past, in that the production and use of textiles in prehistory was a HUGE big deal for us as a species. Textiles connect us through space, also, because they are an integral part of our individual cultures and we can share them with others throughout the world. By sharing textiles, we share ourselves.

I'd love to depict women of all ages and cultures sharing and enjoying these textiles, teaching and learning from each other.

Photo Shoot With Acacia: Back to School Edition!

BOOKS!

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. 

Photo Shoot With Acacia: Sunny Day!

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...

Photo Shoot with Acacia

We went down to the Rio Grande this past Sunday to do some shots for my shop and O MY GOD we had a great day!

Acacia is a 19-year old model living in Albuquerque. I know her through her mom, Megan, a well-known belly dancer/burlesque performer.
