Red Silk | Death Valley

Sometimes all you need in life is a vintage red silk slip dress and the perfect Death Valley backdrops to dance the sunset away in. The following images were shot at both Artist's Palette and some epic mud cracks that we found while exploring.

I hope everyone enjoyed time with their families ~ I sure did! I'm also happy to get back into the swing of things and release a bunch of new content just in time for the holidays!

Cracked Earth | Death Valley

Darren and I have been traveling and creating so much these last few months - so much that I'm literally sitting on thousands of epic photographs just waiting to see the light of day. Well, I am home for now, and (finally!) have a night to sit down, edit, and share some new imagery that we've been working on. I'm going to be releasing a lot this week - so keep your eyes peeled and the bandit on your minds ::) 

First, I wanted to start off with this shoot we did for Silhouette and Modcloth. Although we've been to Death Valley about ten times (no joke!), this particular visit was very special to us. We focused on exploring the unseen and pushing the limits in terms of using texture and color.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of the ground - I mean how amazing are those mudcracks and red velvet heels?

And that golden light on my coat was makin' me feel like a desert angel!

I went ahead and used those amazing textures and colors to show off my favorite sunnies from Silhouette. They've been my go-to shades so far this fall and seem to work with every color palette I've been swooning over!

Come Fly with Me | Badwater Basin

Happy Friday, everyone! I'm flying away (not really - just hopping in a off-roading vehicle) to a secret & amazing location that we will be shooting at for the next few days. Stay tuned and watch my Instagram stories to get a little sneak peek of the fun!

I shared this image last week on my Instagram, but I really wanted you guys to see the full image - I love it so. This is another photo from our angel series - now we can add Death Valley to the list. Thank you Darren for always giving me wings!

A Light in the Attic | Zombie Hospital

AstroBandit_Berlin_Abandoned_Childrens_Hospital_Zombie_Weissensee_ForLoveandLemons_1.jpg

Berlin has some crazy abandoned locations throughout the entire city, but one that stuck out to me the most was this abandoned children's hospital that they call the 'zombie hospital'. What a spooky spot, you guys! Every noise I heard had me a little freaked out! There was also something special about the location - like the soft light shining through the broken windows, the exposed structure, and the graffiti throughout the entire building leaving a bit of a mysteriously haunted appeal. What a neat place! We found this location through our friend who also recommended that we check out a site called Abandoned Berlin. You'll find all sorts of interesting locations there to see while in Berlin. Follow along as I guide you through this abandoned children's hospital!
