We recenlty shot a styled shoot at the Hope and Glory Inn with the wonderful Rachel Faulkner as our model bride. It was all film, our favorite. Her boyfriend, who is also an amazing photographer out of Charlottesville, joined us for the shoot. We had a blast and the pictures turned out greeeeeeeeat (will share them with you later).

After the shoot, we had one roll of Kodak Portra 800 left. We decided to make a mini couple session out of it, just for fun. We had never shot with that film outside before so we were a bit nervous about how it would turn out.
Filmbox Lab sent us the film scans a few weeks ago and we are in love.

These two make a gorgeous couple.
We are honored to take their portraits. <3

Maybe Ron said it best: “The greatest relationships are the ones you never expected to be in. Ones that sweep you off your feet and change every view you’ve ever had.”

xoxo, Michael & Carina

A few days ago we got to hang out with Alice Olson of Hair by Alice – you can read more about that here – and we got to meet the wonderful Theresa Little of Theresa Little Makeup Artistry.

Theresa Little is a prominent Virginia Beach makeup artist whose work has been featured in multiple publications and television commercials.

Just for fun, and for Alice to work her creative magic, Theresa did the makeup for herself and Alice did this bold, original styling in what seemed like no time at all.

It’s not often one of our makeup artist friends turns model and steps in front of the camera herself, but Theresa did! She was sporting not only Alice’s awesome styling but her own makeup, with shadows to accentuate her cheeks, deep magenta to boldly accentuate her lips and to match the tones in her hair, and green around her eyes to compliment the streaks of green in the feathers in her hair. And yea, she did all that in probably less than half an hour.

This is what it’s like when a team of creatives gets together to have fun!
