sleeping beauties

excited to share some new film work i shot for the amazing Justine Maguire ~ proprietor & curator of Calamity Jane Vintage

Justine’s words on her inspiration for a different kind of boudoir shoot: sleeping Beauties is an intimate collection of soft, spring-inspired pastels and crisp whites with unique details — the kind of romantic, whimsical touches only found in vintage lingerie. we dreamt of a different kind of boudoir shoot; ethereal, feminine and raw. the space was staged to maximize natural light in this 1929 character home; vintage furniture and decorative details were juxtaposed with modern styling to set a serene backdrop.

new beginnings

life is a journey, not a destination ~ ralph waldo emerson

it’s a change i’ve been thinking about for a few years now. a change to make my brand more personal. a brand that would better reflect what i am after, when i shoot. i want my couples to have a connection to the name, a real name. a person and not just a company. perspectiveye started way back, many years ago, as a dream when i was working in retail. it was a name that started it all for me and for that i am forever grateful. it’s what my company has been known as, for many years, but now i feel it’s time. time to evolve. time to grow. time to move forward. my style has changed dramatically since those first years shooting under the perspectiveye name. looking back now i feel that then, it was all about style and now, i feel my photography is about much more than that. i feel now it’s more about substance. about emotion. real life. love. happiness. about real human connection. and shooting under my name feels more true to that than any other name.

this new site is me, more than anything before. this site is all about the image. i wanted something that was simple. clean. free of distractions. this site is more about substance and the photograph, than about flash and style. i have decided to combine my connection work, my wedding work and my film work; as each genre is a part of who i am. each has different meanings to me personally and each one allows me to express myself differently while still maintaining substance, emotion and honesty. there is also an area where i will share the thoughts and feelings from my incredible couples. amazing people who welcomed me into their lives and allowed me to be a witness to their beautiful connection and celebration. their words are real and honest.

so here it is. my new chapter and i can’t wait to see where we go from here.

disney

it’s been in the works for months. a surprise vacation to Disney World for the girls. months of trying to figure how to surprise them? do we do it the morning of, at the airport or do we give little clues the weeks leading up? in the end it was really all for nothing as when we did tell them the surprise, aisha clapped a few times and continued playing on the airport playground all while ella simply looked at me and walked away. needless to say the surprise reveal won’t be going viral on youtube.

regardless of the uneventful reveal the girls were excited every morning about what new adventure we were doing that day and what Disney characters they might see. honestly that was the most amazing thing for jen and i. seeing the the pure excitement and magic of Disney in their eyes.

most of the images from this trip i captured with my iPhone. if you’d like to see those there are on my Instagram feed here: instagram.com/perspectiveye all of them were taken with my iPhone 5, the Camera+ app and then edited with Afterglow.
