Feather to Fire in the Presidio

One of the blessings of having creative friends is the opportunity to collaborate on projects that produce results far superior to what I can hatch on my own.  Such is the case with my talented friend Aileen, who hand makes elaborate headdresses under her label Feather to Fire for sartorial free spirits.  We braved some seriously chilly San Francisco weather in the Presidio to get these shots.

Aileen first started crafting these luxurious pieces after seeing them at Burning Man (and of course, she improved on the originals in my humble opinion).  Yes, Burning Man 2013 is over, but it’s never too early to plan for next year or to build up a warrior princess wardrobe for music festivals.

The Vintage Apartment

For today, I present another shoot from my archives – my first experiment with photographing indoors.  All lighting here is natural.

My lovely girl Trisha moved into an exquisite vintage apartment recently and outfitted the whole place with shabby chic furniture that she found on Craigslist.  The place is about the size of the shoebox, but it’s certainly the shoebox with the most character that I’ve ever seen.  I got so carried away photographing the interior, that I forgot to shoot the moody hallways and urban exterior!!  I guess that means that I’m due for another trip to Pasadena to finish what I started…

Here is a photoshoot from a few weeks back, with my friend Valerie.  I had the privilege of singing with Valerie in an a cappella group while we were in graduate school together.  Valerie is a talented musician with a rich, emotional voice; you can check out a video of her singing here.  I photographed her in Woodland Hills, overlooking Topanga Canyon at sunset.  She has a fantastic wardrobe for photography, wouldn’t you agree?

Erin in Redondo Beach

I managed to squeeze in two shoots this weekend, and my graduate school roommate Erin was gracious enough to lend her gorgeousness for photography.  I was hoping for some sun on the beach but woke up to another foggy Southern California winter’s day.  Alternate solution: Hopkins Wilderness Park in Redondo Beach for some nature photography!  Sadly, the park turned out to be the size of a glorified back yard and was overrun with screaming children, but we managed to find a few corners here and there to simulate some “nature”.

Mini Umbrellas

For today, here is one of my first photoshoots from the fall of 2011, in a park by Topanga Canyon.  This time I ended up in front of the camera instead of behind it, with Karen as the photographer.  I don’t know why but I only own mini umbrellas.  The lace one is broken, the pink one is pretty worthless for hiding from the rain, but at least I found some use for them with photography!!


As always, don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re interested in doing a shoot together.  🙂

The inaugural post – An Afternoon with Trisha

To kick off the blog, I will be digging through some archives of shoots from the past year.  First up is a shoot with my dear college roomie Trisha, in a neighborhood park in east LA.  The pollution in this town has the upside of creating a dreamy glow in the late afternoon.  Don’t let the soft light fool you – Trisha is probably the spunkiest girl I know.

As always, feel free to contact me if you are interested in doing a shoot!

Love,
Lily
