This month one of my favorite teams and I got published in EDITORIAL Magazine. The mag’s tumblr is a free-flowing melange of their current editorials, inspirations, and other posts, and the magazine itself follows suit. Rather than dividing everything into editorial stories, it is all one big story, again free flowing from photographer to photographer and artfully curated by the editor.

Good morning everyone! Apologies for the lack of posts, but I hope this one will excite you. It is beautiful and colorful, and very special for me to share.
You are familiar with Lauren Gherardi and her work on the “Carouselle” shoot (and a lot of my portfolio), but “Beauty in Bloom” published in COCO Magazine‘s Issue 18 (July II) will seem a bit different. The reason is because I did the colorful and layered post-work, which was so much fun to do–for the most part.

Isn’t that just WICKED?! I am doing flips, I am so excited to share this shoot by my friend Ed Maximus today. If you’ve recently visited my revamped website, you’ve no doubt seen this shoot, and there are peeks on my Facebook Page as well. However, Tantalum Magazine gave us a shout out on their Facebook today since they published this in the May issue and I wanted to recap the shoot!

As of late, Lauren and I have not been focusing too much on shooting specifically for publications. If there is a theme, we’re not going to bend to it. We realized it’s about creating what we want (whether it’s a new twist from us or plain getting inspired by the greats!) while building our books and developing our style. It was also a matter of learning from experience: thinking a publication gets more circulation than it really does, and being disappointed in the platform and style our work was presented.
That said, if a publication wants to feature our work, we definitely won’t get huffy and puffy about it! I helped Lauren research different magazines. There are a ton of them out there now with digital publishing being so easy! I found MODO Magazine and was ecstatic to see a diamond in the rough. Every online exclusive they publish is absolutely FLAWLESS, so to be included in that is an honor. Thank you MODO!
A big thanks also to our hair stylist, Kanya Gallagher, for bringing us together for this shoot. She was on holiday visiting Florida, and contacted yours truly to shoot. I loved the mood board she put together, and so did Lauren. We all collaborated on shoot details, like the model, location, and whatnot, and with the help of Erin Foster we completed our team with Kendra Chaney coming on as a makeup artist!
