A rustic editorial shoot at Dirksen Nature Park in Tigard, Oregon

One of my biggest inspirations is couture and editorial advertising. For this shoot, I thought about one of my biggest inspirations, Annie Leibowitz. Now, I certainly cannot begin to compare my work to that of the great Annie, but for this shoot, her work definitely inspired me.

I was also inspired by the thoughtful layered styling of Ralph Lauren advertisements. I love that rustic look and found the perfect field to do this shoot with Monty. He was magnificent and is such an incredible model that he made my job easy.
