2014 Wrap Up

Thank you to those who invited me into your lives to document, laugh and feel as if I'm part of your family. My job is so fun and rewarding that it doesn't even feel like work (at times!). Cheers to an amazing year of growth, new relationships and I'm looking forward to what's to come.

Avenle Summer Lookbook/Fashion Photography
Avenle-Proofs-109.jpg

Sometimes you meet people and instantly know you're supposed to be friends. Maybe it was the initial email from Andrea of the Avenle duo that said she basically had been stalking my work or maybe it was the the excitement and passion behind her vision. Either way, all the stars lined up and the Avenle Lookbook was born. It was the perfect recipe really.

Step 1. Hang out on the porch, sip some lemonade and make plans to hit the sea.

Step 2. Hop into your ridiculously cute Mercury Comet and head out on a road trip.

Step 3. Laugh, talk & make memories with your best friends.

Step 4. Savor the Endless Summer

I've been fascinated with fashion inspired portraiture since my days at the Academy of Art. I recently had the honor of working with the up and coming male model Jacob Farmos for a test shoot.

I wanted to do a small series to show "The Man Behind the Suit". Inspired by my recent marathon/obsession with Madmen, I loved how the characters were so polished and professional, yet underneath it all they are just regular men with more issues than Vogue.

So, here was my little attempt at that concept. Enjoy!

Meo
