Ah…film. How I miss it. I shot Christina with a Contax 645 & Ilford XP2 & Kodak 400VC (those just sound like the names of good old friends!). There just seemed to be a velvety quality about these images, which so perfectly evoked Christina’s essence & effortless beauty. She embodies a sexiness that is both deep & dark as well as free & light. She is always one of my favorite muses…Stay tuned for more of her…
Kathy is that stunning woman you envy for her beauty–and then she tells a totally low-brow, dirty joke & tells it well, & then you love her! She was so fun to shoot, because she didn’t take herself too seriously. She’s undeniably gorgeous, so no matter how much we laughed in-between shots, she made my work look good!
coy + dangerous = the perfect Eve
My husband met the Beckers at the (unfortunately now defunct) raw food restaurant Terra Bella in Redondo Beach. He would often come home talking about Luc, this cute red-haired kid that he loved to play with while his parents partook of the delicious meals. When I finally got to meet Jeff & Mary, she & I were both pregnant with our second children. We all hit it off immediately, sharing in common some uncommon interests–like homebirthing. Little Luc & our daughter Zoë became fast friends. The Beckers have now relocated, & we miss them, & especially the chance for our second children to grow up knowing each other, but we stay in touch often & are amazed at how we’re still living parallel lives, just now on different coasts. These are some of my all-time favorite beach portraits of them just being the fun, sweet, loving family they are…
