By day:

Or by firelight night:

Special things happen at sunset on the West Coast. Especially when you’ve had to wait for them all day. The body painting escapade took a bit longer than provisioned for but that worked perfectly, putting us into some very kind light – eight hours later. And so I went Boogey boarding. It’s always supposed to work the way it’s supposed to, and it always seems to. Blessings on us. Plus Teairra Mari is a major pro and makes taking pictures of her very easy. She puts her glow on and Malibu steps right in line. This shoot was as fruitful and on the money as the last with her, and somewhere in all of this is the cover for her new album due out this summer. Shout out to a terrific crew that really made everything come together at the right moment to make just that perfect moment. Our business is moments, and these really shine.
