Test Shoot | Navid | Paso Robles, CA

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.

Beyond The Sea | Part 1 |

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph an assortment of cuteness made from Birch Fabrics' latest collection, "Beyond The Sea" by Jay-Cyn Designs.  The model was none other than my beautiful daughter, and the quilt was sewn up by my talented friend Arleen Hillyer.  The pillows and octopus were sewn up by the very talented Ashley Miller with patterns by Melissa Lunden.  The top was also made by Ashley Miller with the pattern by See Kate Sew.
