san diego fashion show sneak peek

hello. my name is david and i've been an addict for a few months. it was earlier this year when i started. tempted and intrigued, i thought i'd just try it. "the first one's free" i was told. what i wasn't told is that "the first one" is all it takes to skew your mind and leave you helplessly craving more. needing more. forever.
today i admit to everyone that i am a fashion photography junkie. it's siren call has lured me away from wedding photography yet again. resistance is futile. it's too late for me now, i'm hooked, and i will not be stopping any time soon.
once again i had the pleasure of working with the beautiful and world famous irmina ragauskaite.

kaeli and liz were both looking very avant garde

i was also lucky enough to work with the lovely lauren henno.

k and b made this chilly san diego water look like a pool in palm springs back in the day with their super rad vintage swimwear.

yes, we had this much fun. a HUGE thanks to all the models for helping make every one of these sessions awesome.

although she is not pictured in this post, i would love to thank the uber talented laura latour for once again being the creative director / stylist / coolest person to work with.
i also have to give props to the fashion design students at the Art Institute of San Diego for making all the cool outfits, except mine :)

make it work

in times like these you have to improvise, adapt, overcome. this year we have broadened our horizons and learned quite a bit. on our latest outing into the wilderness beyond being san diego wedding photographers, we dipped our photographic toes into the unfamiliar waters of fashion photography and, as katy perry said, we liked it. :)
this was not just any fashion show. it was a SAN DIEGO ART INSTITUTE class project and a benefit for the KID ANGEL FOUNDATION. the location was san diego's first tapas bar, La Gran Tapa.
the show was amazing!
you may not know it by just watching, but fashion shows are super fast paced. luckily april and i got to mingle a while before the show and get some cool back stage shots of the calm before the storm. april even updated her blog (i know, right) with some of her images. click here to take a gander at her shots.

claire, dmarkis, and justin, the make-up and hair stylists from RICHARD JOSEPH SALON in san diego did an incredible job. they were all uber cool and super easy to work with. if you want your hair and makeup to look awesome, hire them. today. they straight up rule.

i want to thank melody, her mom barbara, and everyone that helped to make this show a success. we appreciate you providing this opportunity to step outside our "safe zone." april and i had such a wonderful time i think we're hooked. we'd love to do more shoots like this. so much fun!
