Couldn’t be happier to be reunited for a fashion shoot with my pals at Gilded Bridal. I’ve been friends with the owner Zan for quite a long time and we always have the best time. I’ve worked with a few of her models before and they’re all just lovely inside and out. They all tolerated me saying really ridiculous and stupid things for four hours and I can’t thank them enough. We shared a ton of laughs and a great afternoon. So happy to be back in the branding photography world and commercial fashion shoots are one of my favorites. Who doesn’t like photographing incredible women in beautiful dresses? Here’s a smidgeon of the pictures because I had an impossible time narrowing them down.

Big Dog Little Bed

I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve photographed Big Dog Little Bed but if you’re looking to book me for branding photos, Janice is one of the reasons I got back into the branding photo game after taking a few years off, so you have her and her adorable dogs to thank for my return. Janice is an incredible videographer that I had the pleasure to meet when Geoff and I were shooting weddings. We became friends and have worked together in several different capacities since, as well as enjoy cheering for our husbands on their sandlot baseball team. For those of you familiar with my old shoots of BDLB, you might realize that there is a new set of doggos on this shoot. The old BDLB doggos have since passed and we miss them very much, but we welcome with open arms the fresh faces of Layla Bean (little dog) and Bernie (big dog) on this shoot! I’ve photographed Layla Bean before, but this was my first time photographing the Bern, and she didn’t disappoint. She is a sweet dog who does a great job cramming herself into a little bed on command. So happy to do these new branding photos for my friends at BDLB in their gorgeous office with the new pups!
