For this Fearless Spirit Model Crew session, I tried something completely new—I photographed the girls using a drone 📸✨
We set everything up outside on our studio patio, where the girls laid in different poses surrounded by flowing, colorful fabrics. I flew the drone about 20 feet above them and captured the images remotely, creating a unique, top-down perspective that felt artistic and symbolic.
After the session, I digitally created custom backgrounds beneath each girl, turning the portraits into intentional works of art 🎨
One image became especially meaningful—the portrait featuring a surfboard. Knowing that her father owns a surfboard company, I tracked down a photo of one of his boards and placed it beneath her in the final image.
When they came in to see the portraits, his reaction was pure surprise—and pride 💙 He ended up purchasing that image to display alongside his boards, making it a piece of art that tells their family’s story.
