The exquisite beauty that is Rushana from our shoot late last year here in Valencia. This available light image was captured at Quart Tower, giving us a hazy view of the city in the background.

I love the contrasting style of flowery dress and Doc style boots Tanya is wearing here. A photographer herself, Tanya really knows how to work in front of the camera as well as she does from behind it. Check out her profile to see her work.
Awesome hair and makeup by Asya Litvinova!

Sonia doing what she does best, flashing a brilliant smile! While we created a lot of images where she has a more serious, pensive, and contemplative look, Sonia has a smile that you can’t look away from.

The beautiful Veronisia from our studio shoot earlier this year. Between her amazing skin and Asya’s awesome makeup work, there was hardly any editing needed for this image.

My lovely friend and writer Elsa Saavedra from our studio session earlier this year. I am so glad she chose to have me shoot her photos. We didn’t know each other before this shoot, but now she’s one of our best friends. 🙂

Looking back at one of my last shoots before leaving Nashville, TN. This shot came from an available light shoot I did to demonstrate how to “find the light” even when the sun is high in the sky. Here in this alley was a great example where we have direct sun lighting the ground behind Alison while the main light is the sun reflecting off the building behind camera position. This shot looks “lit” but we didn’t make any changes to the light here (bounces/reflectors, etc).

A favorite from the studio session with Sophie earlier this week. What really grabs me in this shot is the look that Sophie’s giving the camera and the strong connection she has with the viewer here.
Thanks to Asya for the “on point” makeup here!

It rained overnight before our second outdoor shoot with Sophie, so we of course took advantage of the wet streets for our shoot.
