Kayla Boehme, Designer "Shred It To White Walls" - Issaquah, Wa.


Here's another series I did with Kayla and I'd say it was my favorite. As always, it was a lot of fun and her style and design is nearly untouched. We used my studio and just went crazy. We have plans for another shoot in the near future... I cannot wait!

"self ripped and detailed t shirt (inquire within they are for sale!), LF
Leather Jacket, Karen Walker Number 1 sunnies, Jeffrey Campbell
Tube 2, moon raven deign necklace, rings: Low LuvxErin Wasson,
Forver 21 swan, tiffany knot ring, and black random find

It has been way too long since I posted an Adrian x Kayla shoot! To
be perfectly honest every time I went to post it, I would get all too
overwhelmed at how many phenomenal choices AJ gave me, that I
would put it off!! Not a bad problem to have, if only I wasn't one of
the most indecisive characters....

I do not wear this jacket as much as I should, I find myself putting
it on and walking around my house playing with the fringe and then
taking it off before I leave. It has that amazing Woodstock 70's vibe,
sometimes I feel like everything I wear is so 70's inspired that I would
look like I just walked off the set of a movie if I added this jacket to the
maxi skirt, flowing tops and clogs. I started ripping shirts out of pure
boredom and now i can't stop! it is just such an interesting element to
add to a boring T-shirt, my next move is to add american flag patches
to the shoulders."

Sign Of The Times '11 Shoot - Seattle, Wa.

Sorry I haven't been posting, 2011 has been so productive as far as work, friends, and family is concerned. I'm really trying to squeeze in some time today to post some work I did over the Winter. This shoot was a collaboration with a good friend, Sam Franada. He was creative director and designer for the project, which was producing posters for Westlake Dance Center's annual "Sign Of The Times" show. I'm privileged to have friends who think of me immediately when photo projects come up, especially when everyone carries around a camera these days. Honored and humbling to say the least. Below are a couple of my favorites from the shoot and then the final design that Sam produced.

Kayla Boehme, Designer "Deer John" - Issaquah, Wa.


This was most definitely one of my favorite sets that Kayla and I collaborated on. I was a little reluctant to ask her how she felt about the taxidermy'd deer head... but I really wanted to incorporate it, so I just laid it out. And without hesitation, she was down! Haha. I'm overly pleased with how these photos turned out... I see more plain white walls, props, and beautiful people in my photography future.

"Vintage Christian Dior Sunnies, Elizabeth and James Top, Moon Raven
Design "Raven" Necklace, Random other necklaces, Vintage Donna Karen Pants,
TopShop belt, Joan and David oxfords

I found these pants at the good ole West Seattle Senior Center that came with
a matching top for $6, and if that isn't a good enough deal it was their monthly
sale so everything was an additional 20% off! (also where my boyfirend coined
the term OLS for me old lady syndrome) I love Donna Karen circa 1990, she is still
great, but something about her earlier work just makes me think of the classic
"power suit woman".

I love antlers and deer, so when AJ asked me if I thought it was weird
to incorporate these horns and taxidermy deer head I was thrilled!
These photos
were AJ and I's favorite of the bunch...

Photography by: AJ Ragasa. I can't say enough what an
amazing job he did, check him out!"

Phirom & Jess - Ravenna, Seattle, Wa.


Phirom and her girlfriend Jess had planned to go to The Nutcracker, and so they figured, if we're going to get all dressed up, we might as well have photos done too! This particular shoot was more than fast... it's beyond me how I managed to fit so many shots in such a small time frame, haha... but it happened! And here they are...

Etsy for Urban XChange - Tacoma, Wa.

Here's another Etsy set I did with Brooke early last month. Check out the Esty shop here!

DELI + Nudie Jeans Co.


I rarely shoot events, let alone ones that are held in bars or clubs, but I'll make exceptions for only two reasons: (1) if the event is private, (2) or it's for fashion's sake. And this event fulfilled both requirements! I responded to a tweet that Max, the owner of DELI, sent out looking for a photographer for a private Nudie Jeans Co. event. I quickly replied. It was held at MOE Bar on Capitol Hill and I also shot photos for the pop-up shop inside DELI.
