@izzychaos: actor, musician, and all-around renaissance man.

Some people arrive to a shoot with “a look.”
Jacob arrived with an entire atmosphere.

Huge thanks to @harmonyarnold — image consultant extraordinaire and creative force of nature — for helping shape a session that felt equal parts cinema, rock and roll, and beautiful chaos.

The kind of collaboration that reminds you why making art with good people never gets old.#portraitphotography #seattlephotographer #portrait

Grateful for a studio session that felt as good as it looked. 🔥

Collaborating with Robert Jones at Lucky MACK Studios @luckymackstudios …always brings that elevated, cinematic edge, and working with Jacob Swanson @izzychaos added a layer of honesty and depth that’s hard to manufacture. It’s oh-so fun to style a dear friend and alumni! ✨

This is the creative direction I care about!

OKAYYYYY! ✨📸✨

Stepping out from behind the camera and into the chair today—standing in for Robert Jones of Lucky MACK Studios @luckymackphoto as he dials things in for an upcoming client shoot. ✨📸

As a creative director and image consultant, I’m usually the one shaping the vision—but today I’m “warming up the seat,” and honestly… loving these test shots. There’s something powerful about experiencing the process from both sides of the lens. It sharpens the eye, deepens the collaboration, and reminds me how much intention goes into every frame. ✨💛✨

Okay?! Let’s step into it.

Stepped in as a test model for an upcoming client shoot with Robert Jones of Lucky MACK Studios @luckymackphoto and WOW, the vision is 🔥

We played with dramatic lighting, deep shadows, and bold contrast… the kind of setup that turns a simple frame into a whole mood. Every shot felt cinematic. ✨

Grateful to be part of the creative process and help bring the concept to life before the big shoot. If this was just the test run, I already know the final session is going to be something special.🖤

Stay tuned… 🎬

BEHIND THE SCENES MAGIC… with a twist ✨

I had so much fun styling wardrobe, hair and makeup for this shoot with photographer Robert Jones of Lucky MACK Studios @luckymackphoto for thee brilliant Allison Henrich @allisonhenrich celebrating her forthcoming book with Esther Loopstra @estherloopstrastudio, Think Like an Artist, Create Like a Mathematician. 🤩

Think: bold ideas, playful structure, and just the right amount of fabulous-meets-formula energy!

Just that sweet spot where creativity and logic flirt a little…and I’m here for it! 💛

More to come soon… and trust me, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for preorder details of the book this fall 👀

Well deserved (SUN FILLED) break from a brutal few days in a year of some brutal many, many days. #grateful #abouttime #deepbreath #seattlephotographer

Yesterday, Harmony and I had the joy of photographing @allisonhenrich Seattle University professor, award-winning author, mentor, mathematician, and an absolute force. Brilliant, dynamic, and completely at ease in her power.

Working alongside Harmony is always its own kind of magic. Her creative intuition and styling expertise elevate every frame we make together, and I never stop being grateful that I get to build meaningful work with a dear friend.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance on repeat, laughter filling the studio, and the kind of collaborative energy that reminds me exactly why I love what I do.

More from this session soon.

For quite a while, the camera and I took a bit of a break. Life stepped forward, and there was a level of work to do that no one could have prepared me for.
So this series became an enjoyable way back… a warm-up of sorts.
Not every portrait needs to explain itself.
No expression to decode.
No mood spelled out.
The viewer is on their own with a little more room for storytelling. Besides, a little restraint is kinda hot. 😉Thanks to my husband @astermax for always showing up and being the best model. Even when he’s grumpy. #streetphotography #keepitsimple #portraitphotography
