laurell

On Monday evening I had the absolute pleasure of meeting up with Laurell and her manager Sarah in White Rock. I had gotten in touch with Laurell a couple of weeks ago, regarding using some of her music for some slideshows on a new website (shh! keep the new stuff coming on the down-low!) -- I first heard of Laurell's music about three years ago, when she released a worship CD and I've been listening to her on her myspace page ever since! When Laurell mentioned that she needed some new promotional images for a new CD coming up, as well as some press releases I jumped on the chance to spend the evening with her.

Can I just say that this is my absolute favourite shoot: ever. That I have ever ever done. Laurell had put so much thought into every outfit and look and the whole evening was just relaxed and a lot of fun. As you can see from some of the photos in the slideshow, I think I spent a good portion of the shoot with my face flat on the concrete or sitting eye-level shooting. The whole shoot had such a vibe that I just adored! We went to so many different locations which led to a huge variety of images. I walked away feeling very inspired and actually, a little refreshed in my photography. I think it's important to have a shoot like this every now and then that pushes you creatively and gets you thinking out of the box. Enjoy!!

Thanks again you two! Laurell, for being an amazing model and Sarah, for being the best "shade-provider" I could have asked for. :)

Oooh! And if you'd like to see Laurell live and you live in the Vancouver area, make sure to come on out to the Wired Monk coffeshop in Kitsilano on the evening of August 28th. You'll be sure to see me there! :)
