I feel like I had been slacking on updates…. or maybe it is just me. If so please forgive me, after my trip to Miami I had worked a week straight on various projects and shoots to finally sit down and get to business. Don’t worry I got something good for all of you, this past weekend I had linked up with Michele Maturo for a fun photo shoot. It seemed we had a friend in common via my pal Jessie Andrews. Michele had seen some of the photos I did with Jessie and was interested in linking up for a shoot. This had been in the works for sometime and finally became a reality. Feeling inspired by my shoots in Miami perhaps I got a pretty cool location in the hills that worked out as the perfect canvas for our photo session. This is just one of the sets we got and I love it for many reasons. One of which is that I think it has a different feeling then some of my other shoots in the past, but then again maybe it is just me. Well either way I hope you enjoy these flicks!
