Gold, Purple, and Orange Sunset in Santa Monica

Lifestyle photography is the opposite of look at the camera and say "Cheese!" We find locations and settings for our subject to interact in authentic ways and capture the emotion of the moment. It was one of those days of epic sunsets in LA. There was a storm threatening rain, but we all went out anyway- even if it did rain, the light would be super cool so why not. :) We all hung out and took in the crazy colorful light at the Santa Monica beach over by the pier, and it was like having all of the coastline to ourselves.

Mood and Ambience in Marfa in a Teepee with Chloe

Creating the mood is essential in lifestyle photography. We were lucky to be photographing in Marfa where you get ambiance in spades - everywhere you look there are amazingness to photograph.

Since we were all meeting up from far away places to get to Marfa, we had a few minutes to hang with Chloe, who was driving in from El Paso before Ashley arrived from Austin. We chatted and snapped a few shots in the teepee at El Cosmico.

You can find Chloe on her instagram.

El Cosmico and Marfa Awesomeness - Lifestyle Photography Session

Lifestyle Photography has been around for as long as there were cameras, but it went under a different name photojournalism. With a background in photojournalism and sports photography, working with models and capturing lifestyle photography has been a natural progression.

We LOVE Marfa, Texas! El Cosmico, you are my spirit animal. El Cosmico is located in Marfa, Texas. We stayed at El Cosmico when we were in Marfa and loved every moment of it. For those of you not in the know you can learn about Marfa here.

Tip- if you do visit Marfa, visit on the weekend because a lot of the food trucks are closed during the week ;)

Lifestyle Photography Session: Venice Beach with Eric

Lifestyle photography is one of the most authentic forms of capturing a moment, next to photojournalism – we like to have a sense of care-free and rawness can seep through and show the view authentic moments of happenings and interaction. It’s a very delicate balance between having a model pose and having a model interact. While we were in Venice, we met up with Eric. Eric was great to hang out with for the day and he knows how to bring energy to a shoot.

Lifestyle Photography: Domes of Casa Grande with Allison

Finding interesting places to capture photos is something we take great pride in finding. We are always looking for new spots for lifestyle photography spots, whether it is in Chicago or on the internet. So when we found the Domes of Casa Grande we couldn't help but find it and photograph at it.

It is unlike any location we've ever photographed. Featuring multiple alien-like bubble bombed out structures made for an amazing backdrop for Allison to model. Allison is a super hard working person. in her early twenties she created a tea empire called Teaspressa.

We captured some amazing moments and worked with the funky shadows and light at the domes.
