rock and roll photo shoot for fall 2016

indoor fashion photo shoot with four models. rock and roll style fashion editorial!

outdoor photo shoot with mikaela

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

Outdoor Photo Shoot with the Young Ladies

Best shot of the day, IMO. Cippie is a natural.

In an attempt to appeal to "the kids" and make a ton more $$$, I decided to photograph some young ladies in my stuff. White Rock, near Los Alamos, in New Mexico, was our location, and we shot during the golden hour, because I cannot resist.

Photo Shoot with the Gorgeous Ashley Dunec

This woman has an incredible look! I happened to have an unexpected day off last week, so i asked Ashley Dunec to do an impromptu shoot. I was looking for catalog images, but Ashley was SO AWESOME and the location we found was SO AWESOME, that these may end up being an editorial after all!

Catalog Photography with Britt!

Last week we did an indoor catalog photo shoot of Miri Boheme bohemian shrugs and jackets with Albuquerque model Brittinia Di Mattia!

Handmade by Ivy Rose: The Penis Sweater!

Ivy Rose says, "Come on out of the jacuzzi and put on your cockuzzi!"

My very dear friend, Ivy Rose of Purlesque, knows what people want! She's an avid SCA'er and discovered that there was a need for under-kilt garments for the menfolk.

Her answer: the penis sweater.

Photo Shoot With Lacey

So beautiful it's almost ridiculous.

Another great fashion photo shoot with Lacey Walker this weekend!

She showed up ready to work, looking beautiful. She and her awesome sister even babysat the kids for a few minutes (brave ladies) so I could run down to the bank and get her fee (which I forgot to get in advance because i'm a freakin scatterbrain).

This time I used two softboxes with 250s on the background, one 500 with a yellow umbrella facing down from behind me onto the model, light from the window on Lacey's left side, and a gold reflector shining window light back onto Lacey's right side and face. I'm happier with this set than the last set, but the background is still too dark (editing has proving relatively fruitless in this regard) and I would like a better light on Lacey. 

Still evolving!

Indoor Photo Shoot with Lacey Walker

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.

Photo Shoot with Katrina!

The gorgeous and fun Katrina came over for a photo shoot the other night and brought her baby son, Indigo! We had a blast shooting in my TINY little living room and got some great pictures. She's an amazing model and I hope we can do more together this year. 

Indoor Photo Shoot With Acacia!

Cool shot!

In an effort to streamline the look of the photos for my new items, I decided to photograph Acacia in my living room/studio against the white wall I use as a backdrop for my mannequin photos.

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.
