California Photoshoot Santa Barbara

Perhaps I've been bitten by a California bug! The photos from San Diego were phenomenal and I was so pleased and energized. I had an opportunity to stay at an estate in Santa Barbara. The house and private beach were ideal for more amazing photos.

Special thanks to Bruce McFadden for opening his home to me. We had such a fun weekend!

California Photoshoot San Diego

After spending 3 weeks working hard non-stop in Chicago I was jetting off to California. I had a photoshoot for VegasVixxens. We are collaborating on a few projects and collecting fresh photos. These came from 3 days of shooting and you'll see we got a ton of great shots. Sometimes magic happens. These are just a portion of what we were able to get. Loving so many is truly a testament to a quality collaboration.

Going through the photoshoot process is not easy. First it is grooming, workouts and diet. Trying to look your best is a lot of work. I have some minimal retouching but I never want to produce an image that I feel is a lie. I feel most happy when I know these are me. Certainly the best of me, but not far from reality.

I was terribly excited to shoot at the beach. It is not something that I can do everyday being in Las Vegas. The beach is so challenging especially without a crew to hold lights and reflectors.

While being in San Diego we took the opportunity to shoot fashion at Balboa Park. I know I have to return here with all of the fascinating backdrops for photoshoots. Every time we turned a corner there was something exciting to shoot.
