High Fashion/ Red Dress Shoot

We got the opportunity to collaborate with an amazing fashion designer, Sandra Hagen, who created this amazing red dress for this shoot. The inspiration was a Royal poinciana tree in Bartlett Park. I wanted to showcase the tree like an old highwaymen painting while having something very fluid and flowing on the model. The dress was designed custom for our model, Suzy, who really made the dress and these shots as great as they are.

On our first day of shooting, it ended up raining all day, so we got stuck in the studio but got some great beauty shots while we had the makeup artist collaborating with us.

Eventually, we did get the poinciana shot as well as some gorgeous images of Suzy wearing the dress on a dock in south St. Pete.
