I had the recent pleasure of photographing a new model in the Twin Cites. Her name is Kate and she seriously rocked her shoot. Lets all wish her well in her career and watch her progress!
Kate is not yet signed and until she is I am more than willing to forward any inquries on to her.

Did another fashion shoot for the wonderful leather accessory designer Grand Sahara. Couldn’t have asked for better weather on that fall day- to bad the leaves just were not turning properly this year! Jeannie was a pleasure to work with and is a great model. Issam of course is also always a pleasure to work for and his designs make me crave leather whenever he shows me another new product which are always hand worked with the utmost of skill. I have one of his leather briefcases that works wonderfully for my laptop and is made of a supple leather in a beautiful dun color.
Model: Jeannie Pebbles
Leather Handbags + bracelets: Grand Sahara by Issam

This fine garment is the work of a local dress designer - PFT Couture. I always enjoy working with her and seeing the results of her creative endeavors. You might recognize the name from a previous post where we did a session for her website images and wedding dress consultations.
Bit slow on updating with sessions I have been doing but trying to catch up. :)
Ah Sam- always so great to work with and always up for something new. We went down to the Mississippi River front in St. Paul taking some photos in an old loading dock area as well as on the walkway by the river. The weather was a bit warm but overall- great lighting for photos and was a wonderful inspiration for different poses and composition. Please enjoy this sampling of new photos.
Doesn’t she just rock this out?
Yep doing catch up- everyone is going to be super familiar with Sam around here haha. Go team! I hope she does amazingly well in New York this July… This was actually taken prior to the photos down by the river in St. Paul but is being uploaded second because… well I get behind in my blog updates so you are getting a whammy of stuff and don’t expect it to slow down. :)
Sam always lets me try and give her some different looks when it comes to lighting- she is very patient with my putzing. :) Light is placed behind the couch and Sam obviously. You can see the light flare near the center of the image.
I really loved these lacy curtains that were over the windows at this hotel. So we tried something different and there you have it- creativity can always give you something new and interesting.
More fun with the curtains- I love how soft of a look Sam was able to convey in this image. She improves with every shoot we do.
We went out to the historic train in Stillwater and took some photos with the assistance of some well aimed headlights :D Light is light and it all works if you can just figure out how to use it.
