Creativity Project Take III | San Francisco Fashion shoot

There is just something special about going home. It’s not one thing, it’s everything. The little things add up to something really big.

We flew into SFO in the end of February and had a big trip planned. Lots of photo shoots in a short time period, lots of wine, and lots of running in the wine country.

Just to get to our family's house in Sebastopol from the airport we have to drive through a handful of beautiful places in California. To name one, the Golden Gate Bridge. If you have never walked across, we highly recommend it. We don’t recommend walking it in high heels like our model ended up doing!

We always talk about iconic California, how we can shoot it and how we can put our spin on it. We hope you enjoy this shoot as much as we did! A big thank you to our amazing hair and makeup artist, Yza Gabba, we couldn't have done it without her. Staying until the sunset and re-applying lips for every setup, we could not have asked for more. And of course thanks to our model Elisha Khan, keep your eyes peeled for her – she is soon to a have a role in an episode of a popular crime show!

Enjoy the images and stay tuned for more on our series on creativity each month.

New Years Resolution For Creativity | Take 1 - Fashion

Every time the New Year whips past us, we think “where did the year go?” We always have so many unfinished plans, goals and ideas.  We are resolute to not let that happen this year.

Randall and I have set a goal to do 12 creative photography shoots this year. The inspiration behind each shoot, well that’s easy, we have so many ideas. The hard part is choosing 12.

Huge thanks to our wonderful team behind our first creative shoot for 2014. We would like to thank Alexandra Dale of Alexandra Makeup Artistry for crafting an amazing mood with the makeup. Brittany Eileen for helping bring our vision to life with the hair styling. Our wonderful model Courtney Phillipps, our videographer Sam Sacks (behind the scenes video to come), our partner in crime and all things fashion Abby Shepard.

Our technical goal for this shoot was to capture our model in a long exposure night shot, compositing several images. The theme behind the shoot was around my favorite time of day, twilight, that last hour of luscious light.  Our model is warm and brightly colored as if she were the last ray of sunlight as the night closes in around her.  Please enjoy!
