Brandi - MOD Squad 2021

Some of the most interesting and fun pictures I’ve seen are ones with neon lights. I love experimenting with different types of lighting and seeing what types of pictures I can come up with. I love vintage clothing so my dream photo shoot would include a fun vintage outfit with lots of neon lights and signs!

MOD Squad 2021 - Thrift Shop Challenge

I challenged the MOD Squad: Style an outfit from thrift store finds choosing pieces you would not normally wear AND style them in a fresh and modern way. These girls pushed past their comfort zone and got creative. Then, we got together and did a thrift style runway shoot that was a total blast!

MOD Squad 2020 Goes Retro at the Sandlot! [Featured Session]

Since my boys were wee little ones we spent many a summer day at various ballparks watching them play the greatest game on earth, baseball. My favorite ballpark by far is the Sandlot. It’s not the most state of the art. They didn’t even have scoreboards. But, it has something better: history and heart. The camp has seen the likes of Michael Jordan, Charlie Sheen and Joe Girardi. And continues to host camps and tournaments for the love of the game and kids who love the game.

Aside from a few newer fields on its outskirts it remains realatively untouched. Now, anyone who knows me knows what a geek I am about old houses, buildings, anything with a storied history. I always thought what an amazing location this would be to shoot a movie about the good old days. It has that special nostalgia. Well, I don’t make movies but I do photograph some amazing seniors who are always up for an adventure. <3

Thanks to the MOD Squad 2020 and to Brad and Tom at the Sandlot for making my dream come true!
