Lisa Mae is a great model to work with. I shot a series of photos with her and another model for a denim company called desert blue for their online and web catalogs. Working with her was amazing, she knows how to move, pose and all of the above. Definitely exceeded our expectations.

A 15 year old walks into a restaurant and spends just under $300 dollars for dinner… sorry no punchline here. Just a true story of a kid who saved his summers hard works money for single meal at a 4 star restaurant in new york called Per Se. One of my goals in life is to fly out to New York and have dinner at this restaurant, thanks to this 15 year old kid. who’s coming with me?! Read his story below.

There was a big city businessman who once went on holiday to a faraway beach. One day he walked past a local fisherman who was lazing around, with his fishing rod in the water, enjoying the sun and a beer.
The city man’s mind went to work immediately. The fishing spot was a gold mine, and a serious fishing business would thrive in the area. “Why are you so stupid?” he asked the fisherman. “Get some boats, hire some extra hands, and in a few years you will turn your little shop into a million-dollar business!”
The local man asked him. “And what would you do once you have a million dollars?”
The city man stared back blankly. “Why, I would have so much free time I could sit around in the sun all day and drink beer!”

We’ve worked with may a couple of times for different fashion lines and she is by far one of the most versatile models in our line up. The way she accentuates dresses and jeans is pretty amazing, its like watching a yoga class in session by way she bends moves her body to get the poses we want. This was was also shot for Desert Blue Denim.
