Unbelievable that Thanksgiving & Christmas flew by! In a few short days, we will be welcoming 2011! Part of me is ready with fireworks to bring in the new year-fresh & motivated! But part of me is SO not ready, there is just so much to get done before then! I even have a few more blog posts before the year ends to get in and lots of gorgeous images! ;)

Such as this rockin’ shoot! I am absolutely thrilled to finally share this session with you! Brandi is such a talented model & sweet friend, we were so excited to work with her again! You may recall Brandi from one of our first shoots, a Grease inspired shoot at the Tampa Fair earlier this year.

I had this creative concept in mind for a while & couldn’t wait to shoot with Brandi, she has the perfect look for it! I am in love with ALL of her tattoos, they are stunning, and I wanted them to be a big part of this shoot! This is actually one of my favorite shoots this year. It helped us grow in many ways-challenging us with lighting, location scouting, & timing and I am super happy that everything came together in the most perfect way!
This image below was definitely not expected! We were wrapping up (thanks to daylight savings time our shoot was cut a little short) but we were determined to get in a few more shots! Khaled & I played with the cameras, flashes, and reflectors and Voilà! One of my favorite images!
