Last month, my friend Olivia reached out to me about doing a fashion photoshoot on the beach at Silver Strand, so I sent my stylist (aka my better half) Andrea into Ambiance ( a boutique that I shoot for in San Luis Obispo, California ) to pull some outfits. We headed out to the sand in a boho state of mind and played around with the August sun, and I'm very pleased with how the photos turned out!
I grew up on a horse ranch, so I felt so at home on this shoot. We spent the afternoon on a ranch just North of Paso Robles overlooking the now rushing Salinas River (Thank you, God, for all that rain!) We hung out with Kat's cat Sammy, her horses and her bunny. It was so cloudy and windy, with rain threatening to trap us inside all throughout the day, but we managed to spend quite a bit of time outdoors nonetheless!
It's been so rainy and dreary here in Paso Robles, CA which is actually pretty amazing for this fashion and commercial photographer! I love how everything feels and looks differently, the smell, the colors, the diffused natural light... so beautiful!
My friend Navid is represented by Scout Models in San Francisco and Forté Models in Santa Barbara, and Halvorson Models in San Jose, and he recently became a brand ambassador for Robert Talbott Designer Men's Wear in Monterey. When he asked me to photograph him for RT, I knew I had to take him up to Sculpterra Winery and Sculpture Garden to get some beautiful vineyard images.
