SHANNON / ANYTIME SESSION

Tonhya — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 16:45:17 +0000

I just love this girl.

I’m obsessed with her natural red hair. I mean seriously?! That just isn’t fair.
I’ve known Shannon for a couple years now. We met when I was still in school and I had her be one of my models for one of my first shoots in a studio. I don’t think she knew what she was in for…I had her face covered in paint by the time the shoot was over. You can check out that picture here. Regardless, Shannon has always been up for anything and that is why I love her. She is always positive and has a silent confidence about her that I secretly envy. : )

We had so much fun on this shoot. Being young, free, creative, and alive.
Those are the moments I love the most.
Meet Shannon.

Love. Love. Love.

ASHLEY BROWN / ANYTIME SESSION.

This is another one of my personal shoots that I did simply for fun. Ashley was great to work with and is a natural beauty. I wanted her look to be minimal and I’m pretty happy with the results. I always say this, but I wouldn’t say it again if I didn’t think it was true. But we all need to step away sometimes and do things that really inspire us and give us motivation. Whether you’re an artist or not, everyone needs a break from their routine to do something they love. This life is too short not to. I put together a small team and we just went out and shot for the heck of it. No matter how busy I get, I want to remember to always take time out of my schedule to plan personal projects. It’s so important. So if you happen to be feeling a little stuck in routine, just stop. Yea, thats right…STOP. Go outside, walk around, eat some ice cream, create some art, sing at the top of your lungs, dance in the rain…since this is Seattle and all. Anyways, you get the point : )

Enjoy this life people.
Happy Tuesday.

A favorite of many.

Ashley is truly a natural beauty.

Probably one of my favorites. I love what I feel when I look at this image.

Another fav.

I’m in love with the tones of this photo.

JUST FOR FUN.

As my wedding season has started to slow down a little bit, I have found myself excited to do some shoots for myself. Just for fun.
I also knew that I had to take advantage of this gorgeous weather Seattle has been giving us.

Here is a little sneak peek at what I have been up to. : )
Enjoy and Happy Friday everyone!

I love working with creative models. Ashley is one of those people and like I said before, I could go on and on about how wonderful she is! This shoot was so much fun and I couldn’t be happier with how simple and clean they are. They really let Ashley’s beauty shine through. I hope everyone enjoys this full post of our shoot we did together!
