LOL Thursday 10-1-2020

It’s a “Fun in the sun!” edition of LOL Thursday with Annsley Wood at the Dive Motel in Nashville.
In my best ‘Chandler’ voice – “Could she BE having more fun?”

I think The Luxury Label Nashville  needs to let Annsley keep these CHANEL  sunglasses since they look like they were made for her! (And thanks to Luxury Label Nashville for providing them for this shoot). Big shout out to @Amanda Dowd for the fantastic hair and makeup work during this shoot (and the photo assisting too).

Micael Lighting Up the Space

Micael Leigh lighting up the space in front of my camera from our recent shoot. I really like how the bright and clean set works with Micael’s outfit here. Typically you’d see clothes like this in a low-key, moody shot but instead of seeming out of place I think it just works!

Looking Back…

Looking back to earlier this year with this image from my shoot with the incredible (not an exaggeration) Stephanie Paige at he Graduate Hotel in Nashville. I love the look she has in this shot and I wanted to see how far I could push (edit) this image without “breaking” it, and then I pushed the edit a bit past that point anyway :). This is mostly natural window light with a small LED video light for fill.
Processed in Camera Raw and Photoshop.
(The effect here is created using the clarity and texture controls plus a dose of strategically masked overlaid blurred layer)

Jaylene Hall is leading the smiles on this “LOL Thursday” with a “jumping for joy” shot from our recent shoot. Just look at how much air she’s getting here and in heels no less!

Hanging on to Summer

Summer might officially be over but it’s still alive and well in this image from my recent shoot with the awesome Annsely Wood . Here she is at the Dive Motel in Nashville rocking this Gucci top courtesy of The Luxury Label Nashville.

BTS, or not BTS?

Is it BTS or the final shot.. or both! However you look at it I love this shot of @jaylene_hall from our recent session. As you can tell Jaylene is super fun to work with and we came away with some great images from this evening at the studio. I’ll be dropping more images in my feed soon.
