Who’s Ready for Summer?

I know I’m ready for fun (as well as work) in the sun. It’s time to start thinking about things like poolside images not unlike this favorite from my session last year with Annsley Wood at the Dive Motel. This was my first time shooting there and I’m definitely heading back this summer. This image was shot in afternoon sun (behind me) with a Godox AD600 strobe to my left and a couple of feet above me. Thanks to The Luxury Label Nashville for providing the Gucci top Annsley’s wearing here.

Looking Back to Summertime

Remember when it was warm outside? I feel like it wasn’t all that long ago, especially when looking back at this shoot with Annsley Wood at the The Dive Motel. Annsley’s rocking this awesome tote provided by The Luxury Label Nashville who loaned us several pieces for this shoot.

Reach for the Sky!

Seems like just the other day we were enjoying the Summer sun at The Dive Motel for this shoot. Annsley Wood of course did an amazing job in front of the camera and Amanda handled the hair and makeup making my job of final editing super easy! Annsley’s showing off this top from Gucci provided by The Luxury Label Nashville for this shoot. Put it all together and this is definitely one of my favorites from this shoot.

Summer Extension

Stretching Summer out as long as I can here with another poolside shot with Annsley Wood at The Dive Motel & Swim Club in Nashville, TN. This shot was an idea of Annsley’s based on an image she saw in Vogue Italia. The tote shown here was provided by The Luxury Label Nashville.

Too Cool at the Pool

The lovely Annsely Wood showing off these CHANEL sunglasses (courtesy of The Luxury Label Nashville) during our recent shoot at the Dive Motel in Nashville. Captured as the sun was going behind the nearby trees, the light is a mix of daylight and a Godox AD600 in a 48″ parabolic softbox with only the inner baffle in place. This produced a nice strong, yet broad light to really make this image pop. Amanda Dowd took care of the hair, makeup, as well as assisting for this shoot.

Poolside at the Dive Motel

With the last few days of Summer upon us Annsley, Amanda , and I spent an afternoon shooting at the Dive Motel in Nashville the other day. The Luxury Label Nashville provided some amazing accessories for us to showcase including the necklace (Ben Amun) and earrings (Barrera) Annsley is wearing in this shot. Many more images to come so keep an eye on my feed
