Kate Towers collection

I can't believe I never posted these here! I guess when you get out of the habit of blogging you forget epic photo shoots altogether!

We did these in Manzanita, OR right as a storm was rolling in. It was a mad dash to try and get everything shot before we were completely rained out. I don't think I have ever been so wet other than bathing. Plus, it was freezing to boot! Hailey was such a trooper standing out there in the freezing wind and rain; you can see her hair getting progressively wetter through these shots. In the end though, pictures like these always make the stress and craziness worthwile.

Photographer - Peter Van Beever
Model - Hailey R., Q6
Wardrobe - Kate Towers
Makeup & Hair - Amy Gillespie










Thankfully, Olivia, the other model we were working with, had a beach house that her parents were gracious enough to loan to us. It ended up being a valuable base camp where we could dry our clothes and try to warm up. After the debacle on the beach, we shot some images for Peter's personal portfolio.
