RETRO MOTEL STYLE SHOOT WITH TONI | FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY
Toni's idea and motivation for this shoot got me thinking- why don't more people book photos for themselves?

Photographing a Music Festival: What to Bring, What to Expect
Shooting a music festival is not a walk in the park (actually it literally might be a festival held in a park but you get me.)
