Engine Trouble

Most improvised shoot to date. The entire time was spent racing against the sunset but amazing little nooks were discovered and pretty photos were taken. Stylist was Luisa Pino. Models were Cristina Londono and Mauricio Meneses. Must apologize to my amazing crew for my subpar driving skills and the very real risk of contracting chikungunya on account of stepping into a swarm of mosquitos.

The Wanderers

Another wondrously improvised shoot with stylist Luiza Pino, which was slapped together in a couple of hours with about zero prep. Quickly becoming on of my all-time favourite shoots. Big thanks to the genetically blessed cousins who modeled for me: Maria Jose Mccausland, Isabela Mccausland and Diana Echeverry. And big thanks to Luiz for letting us play with his awesome Jeep and assisting (flying a kite).

Session Numero 2

Session two with my lovely niece Krystina. Shot in Lewisville Park and Battle Ground High School's softball fields. Missing the PNW acutely.

Sink

I had to share these photos straight away, barely 5 hours after finishing the shoot. It's always a real treat when images just come out amazing and editing is minimal and fast. Major kudos to Chelsea for driving up to Washington for a rainy afternoon and posing while hiding from picnic-goers. Also, for taking a dip in the freezing river, for which I apologize, but I love every single photo.

After leaving England I've been in weird emotional and creative rut, barely picking up my camera in 5 months. I'm inordinately happy that it feels comfortable in my hands again and I'm proud of my work. Thanks again to Chelsea for making my job so easy, you're a natural.

Long post ahead....
