surf [ERICA at ZUMA BEACH]

 

January 15th, Adam Reynolds (www.bhbsurf.com) handed me an extra camera and water housing and took me out for my first surf photo session. You guys.

We met up with Adam's friend Erica, who is a beautiful and graceful long-boarder (she just started last year. WHAT?). It was a calm and quiet day, the water exceptionally clear, so we treaded water and Adam shared tips and stories from his time as a surf photographer. 

I love how challenging this kind of shooting is - so many moving parts between the subject, the water and your own buoyant body. I got a few good ones and can't wait to get back in and get better.

fitness [AUTUMN in VENICE, CA]

Last month, my beautiful friend Autumn and I got together to try our hand at a fitness shoot. We goofed around for the most part, but ended up with some really great shots. 

She's in incredible shape and has a high-wattage smile. Add to that a little golden hour magic? Perfection.
