The Life You Dream Of Dreamy golden-hour is, as we all know, the best time of day to shoot for those magic feels and good vibrations. I had been wanting to play around with long exposure, but the effect just wasn’t hitting the exact way I wanted to. I’m DIY most of the time so….solution: a piece of holographic cellophane placed over the lens as a filter. You can get a roll of this at any fabric or craft store […]

Cue Frank Sinatra… Man, when I love a set I really love a set. I overshoot – it’s true. It’s because I’m obsessed with taking every moment I possibly can and turning it into art, so when Mila and I got the opportunity to shoot in a Cessna with local aviation specialists Flying High Again, we had to go wild. I styled her in a black dress she’s had in her closet for ages, with some cool accessories from the […]

The Snakebite: A Film Noir This editorial and fashion film was so much fun to make – take a bunch of creative minds, put them together after work hours in the cold out on the street, and this is the result. I came up with this concept with the idea in mind that – and I’ve used this in my work before – the fourth wall does not exist. What is the fourth wall, you ask? It’s the space that […]

Shooting for Eileen Kelly Designs was by far one of my favorite fashion projects to be a part of. Colorful, vibrant and exceptionally well-made, Eileen Kelly Designs is simply a force to be reckoned with. We shot this editorial last year at Two Boots Pizza in midtown Nashville, as well as at my studio over in Germantown. From the glittered details to the shiny fabrics, Eileen Kelly x Sammy Hearn is truly a match made in heaven. On top of […]

Tucked in a 1930s historic fire hall, Black Shag Vintage is becoming an East Nashville staple for bad ass rock tees, wicked leather jackets, platform boots, jumpsuits, vinyl and more. I linked up with owner Tommy Daley to talk clothes and rock & roll, shooting an editorial campaign to promote his Spring Look Book. “I’ve always been into vintage, but I never considered selling it until I saw the vendors at the Nashville Flea Market,” Daley said. “So, I started sharing a booth […]
