When Amy Lawson (of Artistry by Amy) contacted me about this concept she had for a teen editorial I was immediately so excited. Her idea was to have teen best friends on a tropical vacation together. We would go from a tropical paradise to play on the beach. As she added to the team and we continued to plan my excitement only grew more and more. Then the day of the shoot finally came and my excitement was at an all-time high. The whole day was just amazing and this group was the ultimate DREAM TEAM! Everything came together perfectly and it truly was an incredible group collaboration where everyone worked really hard to make it as fantastic as it was. I always prefer my hard work to be accompanied by epic amounts of fun.

A huge thank you to the whole team and to Shadowbrook Restaurant for not only allowing us to use their grounds but for being beyond accommodating. When they told us we could use the yellow taxi for a bit they made my photography dreams come true. I was truly in awe of how beautiful their whole space was. I HIGHLY suggest going there if you like amazing ambiance and delicious food.
