Winter reprise w/ Erica in sunny California!

Hey, Steemit! It’s late, so I need to make this relatively quick. Hive account@guthrie gets up for school early and I’ve been editing most of the night. It’s been a long day, filled with errands and frustration, including a few Hive account@caffetto games of Magic with @ tarotbyfergus. I needed to have some accomplished work before I went to sleep.

These photos are from a client I shot in February. Hive account@guthrie and Hive account@vermillionfox came with me for the first time during a trip throughout the west coast. Our trip had three legs; LA, Palm Springs and Las Vegas. This was the last shoot from our last day in LA.

Erica came to me through Instagram, which is the usual avenue for my bookings to occur. She was the last of the shoots I’d taken on the trip […it was suppose to be a vacation, but with the closing timeframe and empty pages in Dark Pinup, it ended up being more of a work-cation].

She met me in La Cañada at a beautiful estate I’d reserved for the time we were staying in LA. She arrived hair and make-up ready with a collection of beautiful vintage gowns, including a gold dress that really stood out. The weather was in the 70º’s, which was remarkable for a family that’d just flew out of Minnesota. We made good use of the location, in doors and out, even finding blooming flowers to capture in the shoots.

A relatively short shoot, we were able to wrap in just under 90 minutes. She was one of the many patient clients that’ve been anxiously awaiting their final edits, as the work on Dark Pinup and the recent trip to LA and Viva Las Vegas, have been greedy with my time.

Thanks for reading. For more photography, art, illustration and the stories behind the work, follow me here Hive account@kommienezuspadt!
