lavalife Ad

If you frequented Hotmail.com back in 2007 as i'm sure you did because it was the cool place to have your email back in the day than you probably saw this ad quite a bit. My photo of this beautiful Caribbean model was plastered everywhere as lavalife was trying to take the online dating world by storm. I've talked to a few people now who remember seeing this ad back in the day. This was a totally fun shoot. We spent more time laughing than shooting. It was just a good vibe on set the whole day. 

Lorna Jane Magazine 2006

There's an interesting story behind this. As part of my marking initiative to get my branding for my new photography business out there I frequently posted in online forums and made friends all around the world. It just so happens that one of the contacts I made in Australia recognized my photo on the cover of Lorna Jane magazine. She snatched up a few copies and mailed them over to me which was super awesome of her. Apparently Lorna Jane used this image in a store wide champaign so that was pretty sweet. Lorna Jane is Australia's version of lululemon. 

The girl on the cover was ecstatic when I told her about it. She was someone I had randomly met on a beach while traveling in Cuba. I asked her to model for me because I wanted to gain some experience. BAM! My first magazine cover. Crazy how things work out.
