Austin of A.O’Brien Photography is one of my favorite photographers to work with! We have so much fun doing crazy awesome shoots together, of course with the help of some super cool models!

After Austin and I worked on the Gilmore wedding together, we planned our first fashion shoot soon after. We colaborated with a gorgeous model named Ruthi and a videographer named Chris. It was a fun filled day with a lot of activity, and walking…

We all started the day early at Austin’s. Where I prepped Ruthi for the “bird” look we were doing with the crazy, giant, bright yellow birdcage that Austin found. I went with a peacock themed look for her eyes and used these awesome fake lashes I had with little feathers at the edge of them. Once I was done with her, we traveled to our location in La Canada Flintridge and did some walking to get to the perfect spot. Austin had to carry the birdcage, so I had it easy. Then we set up, got her in place and I did final touch ups.

After that, I totally changed her look…you ready!? I used Makeup Forever Aqua Black cream eyeshadow on her eyes and her lips, then made her look like she was crying. Here are some of these amazing shots…

That was a super fun, yet exhausting day. More shoots with Austin to come! Stay tuned…
