Fashion Friday - Bianca

Bianca is one of those girls that you know turns heads wherever she goes. What I loved about working with her was that she was gorgeous on the inside too. She's one of those people that upon first meeting you feel like you've known

forever. Super sweet and up for anything, she totally rocked it out in my studio while we photographed for Spun. Below are some of my favorite pics from our first shoot together.

*on a side note, am I the only one who thinks she looks a little like Olivia Munn?

Fashion Friday - The Trapeze Dress

OK, I know it's not Friday, but Fashion Saturday just doesn't have the same ring to it. :)

Anyway, a couple months ago I was inspired to push myself and get out of my camera setting comfort zone. I ususally shoot portraits at ISO 100, f8, 1/125 with some sort of flash unit---either a Canon 580EX II on a light stand with a softbox or a White Lightning 1800 with an umbrella (sorry for all those who I've lost. I promise I'll show some pretty pics if you get through this tech-y part). I wanted to shoot in completely natural light and vary up my f-stops to see what I'd get. 

I knew I wanted to shoot one of my absolute favorite trapeze dresses from Forever 21 and luckily Charity agreed to be my model for the afternoon. I wanted the photos to feel light and airy, much like the way I feel when I'm wearing the dress. Below are some of my most favorite pictures I've shot to date. It definitely paid off to break out of my comfort zone!
