Oh, and pearls. And jeans! Can’t forget those.

Fitness and Faded Jeans
This session had two objectives: show off Claire’s power lifting gains and do one (possibly) last session with a pair of jeans that have featured in many a session over the last half decade. The goal was to have one last hurrah with the jeans, which no longer fit the same way they did 5 years ago due to the aforementioned power lifting, but we may not quite be done with them just yet.
Clairerotica
Claire was really pleased with how her nails turned out and with the output of her flower box, so we put a quick shoot together. This is from January, 2020.
Recent Work: Bodyscapes with Ivy
The prevailing theme for 2023 is: Keep it Small, Keep it Simple. I have an awesome rapport with the people I work with and our collective working style tends to be loose and free-flowing. We’ll go into a session with an idea we want to explore and after a while the shoot ultimately devolves into whatever the heck we want to do. It is the photographic equivalent of brainstorming (“there are no bad ideas”) and a great way to work.
Ivy Sublime: “All Seeing Eyes”
This was one of my favorite sessions ever. Ivy Sublime, the subliminal seductress, is a Durham-based burlesque performer and co-head of Luxury Burlesque. More on them later <wink>.
