I got to shoot with model Dahlea Gray today in the awesome town of Front Royal, Virginia. Pin-up was an inspiration but we kept ourselves open to other ideas.

Guido and Gulnura contacted me for an engagement session with a bit of a twist. The two met overseas at a US embassy, fell in love, and became engaged. They were both in town for now but were going to be separated into different countries for work and needed their session, retouching, and prints delivered within a few days! Never one to step down from a challenge, I accepted, we made plans, and we made these beautiful images. I pride […]
