Laurel Canyon — Personal Work

LA Location / Lifestyle

This project began with the location. I found the house first and built the shoot around it, which is something I often do in personal work. There’s something really inspiring to me about discovering a soulful, special place and letting it shape everything that follows — the casting, the styling, the pace of the day, and the feeling of the images.

The goal was to create something warm, relaxed, and a little transportive — the kind of scene that feels easy to step into. Once the right people were in the space, a lot of the work was just staying open and letting the house, the light, and the energy between everyone carry the frame.
