Brandi was turning 35 and wanted to celebrate herself!! Life isn’t always easy and the last couple of years had been rough; she had two very dear losses in her life in those 2 years. She was coming out of the pain and wanted to celebrate her birthday in a fun, unique way! I was SO EXCITED that she booked me!! We talked about her shoot, she wanted a mixture of film noir and a magazine shoot (like a spread you’d see in Vogue or W magazine). She bought in some amazing clothing choices! Nothing needed from my style closet. The red and gold dress was actually her mom’s from the 1980’s and most of the other items were vintage as well. I just love her style vibe!! She wanted a studio and location shoot. She always wanted some graffiti as a backdrop. I found a remote location and purchased a confetti canon to give the finishing touches and FUN to our portraits there. I just love this shoot!! The peace on her face as the confetti rains down on her– brings me so much joy!! Hey, what are YOU doing for your birthday this year?!
