San Diego Fashion Shoot - The Traveling Dress Collective by Carol Merriman

The Traveling Dress Collective was born last year when myself and several other photographers passed around a dress. Each photographing it with our own vision. It was such an incredible process that this year we did it again. Only this time each of us formed new groups of photographers. Kristen Kaiser, Mari Trancoso, Coleen Hodges, Abbie Rose, Emilie Iggiotti  and Randi Kreckman are the amazing group I was lucky to work with. Please take some time to go look at all of their work, you wont be disappointed.

 

My gorgeous friend, Kelley, was gracious enough to model for me. We decided to include her son, because as you can see he is the coolest. I tried to go with a little more fashion/editorial vibe, but of coarse I'm always drawn to the yummy light. Elena Creazzo of Elena T Beauty did Kelley's makeup. It was a dream team.

Melissa and Lem - San Diego Engagement Session by Carol Merriman

The SoCal weather has been unpredictable but luckily we had a break and it was gorgeous day at Sunset Cliffs. The first time I met Melissa and Lem I could tell they were not only very much in love, but the best of friends too. This was even more apparent during our session. Can't wait for their big day.
