Lifestyle: The Insanely Talented, Taylor

I would like to introduce you to my insanely talented Brother-in-law, Taylor.

When Taylor was 15 years old I remember being in awe of him. At that age he was teaching himself Korean and was already composing his own music. Fast forward 6 years; Taylor is graduating from Full Sail University, and about to embark on a journey of a lifetime. Taylor’s passion is music… all types, all genres, you name it and he can play it.  I’d like to believe the stork dropped him off sporting an American flag bandana with a guitar in one hand and a sign “will play for milk” in the other.  Alas that is the imagination run rampant. The truth is, Taylor is an avid musician; demonstrating not only skill on the guitar but bass, piano, and drums as well. 

I’ve been dying to take pictures of Taylor in his element but every time we are together family fun takes precedent. Well, this past Easter in-between family time we decided to play with my camera. We did some edgy stuff but of course my favorites are these first All-American Boy shots.

Taylor has been my favorite model thus far (I might be a bit bias) to work with and shined under the lens as much as he shines on stage, in the studio, and in every other venture he attempts.  It seemed to be his natural element and I got the distinct honor of being the first to shoot this force in music before he starts getting calls from the likes of Rolling Stone.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Taylor

Senior Portraits: Izzy Monton

I must admit I was a bit nervous going into this session. This is actually my first senior portraits shoot and I literally couldn’t have asked for a better subject…

Introducing Izzy Monton

This young lady has the world in the palm of her hands; she is graduating with high honors and attending NYU in the fall, not to mention she has the support of an equally amazing family backing her. 

I can honestly say shooting Izzy really had my creative juices flowing. There may or may have not been a bit of trespassing involved (lol) 

This girl cannot take a bad photo

 I am so glad we were able to get this shot; it was literally at the spur of the moment. Izzy sat on the railing just as the tide was passing by. The conductor even had to blow the horn warning us to move out of the way.

As you can see, izzy has such great style (“she gets it from her momma”) but this shot here is the epitome of her modern elegance. She looks so beautiful and mature.

Congratulations on your academic achievement Izzy! Best of luck in the big apple!!!
