I love getting together with Piper to shoot pictures for her awesome family and style blog Coconut and Bean. It gives me an opportunity to explore new locations and play with lighting in a stress free way and she ends up with what she needs to share her amazing sense of style, two birds with one stone or so the saying goes. I think this shoot might be my favorite we’ve done yet, this new location positively glowed, I can barely wait for the family shoot I have booked there!

Erica and Tiffany run a successful real estate business and wanted some new photos for their marketing materials. I’m pretty sure they are going to wipe out their competition with these!

Andrea is an actress and social media consultant and was in need of some new head shots. Shooting an adult alone is always a joy, they know what they want and can take direction. We started off with some softer pictures and then changed make-up and lighting for a more sultry look. I highly recommend going with a professional make-up artist like Andrea did when shooting close-ups or head shots. Her make-up artist Jill did a wonderful job emphasizing her natural beauty!

A few months ago the incredible style and family blog Coconut and Bean was launched. If you haven’t had a chance to get over there and check it out you are missing out. Piper has an effortless style and always looks amazing regardless of what parenting battle she is facing. I’ve had the honor of getting to work with Piper on the photos for her Outfit Recipes series. We have had a blast scouting locations and she is a wonderful model for me to practice lighting and other photography tricks on. Here are two favorites from our most recent sessions together.

My friend Piper has recently started a lifestyle and family blog called Coconut and Bean. We set out together to get some shots for her site and found ourselves in a crazy windstorm. You’ll have to check out her beautiful blog to see more pictures but this was one of my favorites from the day.
