Sweaty Bettys

Oh how I love my girls at Box Wine Betty. Jessie and Kaarin are about as sweet as they come...BUT they are kinda bad too, which I like. Some how I have always gravitated to the girls that really don't like to follow rules or go with mainstream. Jessie is actually the lil sis to one of my best friends in high school. Erin introduced me to her Jessie 17 years ago! I feel old. Anyhoo, Jessie and I reconnected after a funeral this past October brought me and Erin back together after a few years. So, like in the movie "The Big Chill", old friends reunited after a tragedy and have a blast. And now we hang out all the time. Sweaty Betty is Box Wine Betty's new workout line that can be worn at the gym or around town or even out on a hot date. I love these clothes, they are so comfy and the detail is impeccable! I tip my hat off to Jessie and Kaarin for all the long nights in front of the screen printer and making sure all the models had something amazing to wear for the shoot. Oh, and the shoot went great...I invited Kathy and Bianca, my photog soul sisters to see all the hype and awesomeness (not a word, I know but I likey! Also not a word...I digress) of the Box Wine Betty girls. Beautiful girls with great stories and warm souls = best photoshoot so far! Thanks ladies!! Here's some pretties from the day...

The Outsiders

Box Wine Betty does it again! They hired me to shoot out in a vintage car junkyard for their website and I was so excited. The morning of we were all freaking out when we woke to a downpour of rain. The weatherman said overcast (typical NW weatherman!) So, I asked God to clear the rain clouds away for a couple hours. If I hadn't said it before, I am saying it now: Thanks God for answering me! First off, when I saw the "models" who would be in the shoot I about fell out of my seat. Jeremy of Jackalope Tattoo , Jessie (Box Wine Betty) and her hubs Joe, Kenzie, Kaarin and Kathleen were all dressed in complete 50's retro meets modern rock attire. The tattoos were so fun to photograph as well with all the attention to detail and color. The vintage car "cemetery" as they call it was 20 acres of old school ambulances, school buses taxis and of course my all time fave CADDIES! I have never seen so many suicide doors in my life......the "Entourage" boys would be impressed.....I digress....

I learned so much about lighting and being able to switch exposure with clouds and sun going in and out in a manic fashion. Thanks again Jessie and the crew from Box Wine Betty for a one of a kind experience. Can't wait till the site drops and you guys are all outfitting the stars with your beautiful accessories!
