A girl named Kesley

Girl in a bathroom, no. 953In the spring of last year, I scheduled a shoot with a girl named Kesley. Little did I know before we met, what a perfect model she would be. Such a treat. Beautiful, fun, funny, a sweet laugh, and photographed like an angel. The shoot was fantastic, producing some of my favorite photos.

I was so elated to have met Kesley and to have had the opportunity to shoot with her, we immediately scheduled a second shoot. Another great session: on the beach, indoors, at a baseball field… Perfect. And then, as it always happens with the girls I shoot, Kesley moved away. We’ve kept in touch and swore we’d shoot again if either of us were in the same town. And so on this trip, coming back through Houston, I met up with Kes for two great, great shoots. Woohoo!

The red hair is now black and Kesley is, of course, as beautiful as ever. The first shoot was done in two parts: the first sets were shot at a sort of pop-art motel (a complete stroke of good luck as it was a Pop art Girlbudget motel that I happened to stay in the night before en route to Houston), the second set is all outdoors in full cowgirl attire (down to the boots!!) replete with a mammoth pickup truck.

The motel shoot went really well, producing a sort of moody retro Vanity Fair look. Totally dug the way it went. The cowgirl shots could not have been any more perfect. In an abandoned field, Kes gave off just stellar poses around this gargantuan vehicle. A perfect cowgirl, even in the heat of the Texas sun.

ViewThe locale for our second shoot was a highrise in downtown Houston with spectacular views overlooking the city. (Thanks Liz!) Beautiful rooms, beautiful views, with Kesley in front. I wish we had been able to shoot into the night with the skyline behind her, but time limitations prevented kept us on a tight schedule. Actually, I wish we had been able to shoot every day I was in Houston. (You know I’m a fan, Kesley. :) )

A nice little milestone with our last shoot: Kesley is now the only model I’ve shot more than three times. :) Cowgirl and pickup(See moving away note above.)

Anyway, I’m still working through the photos from these last two shoots. And I STILL have photos I need to get to from the first two shoots. But all of Kesley’s photos from ALL shoots can be found here.
