March Shoot with Victoria

Ending on a Bold Look

When I woke up that morning, I had one thought in mind—whatever I edited today had to be extra amazing. It had been a while since I revisited my archives, so I started digging through past photoshoots.

That’s when I remembered Victoria asking if I could edit more of our shoot for social media. Perfect timing. I didn’t even have to search long—back in March, we had an incredible session at my Chicago studio, and I knew those images were waiting for me.

Revisiting the Shoot

In my studio shoots, I like to work with three different looks. It gives both the model and me more variety and keeps the energy fresh for social media and editorial work. With Victoria, this approach paid off perfectly. Each look had its own mood, but together they told a story.

The Final Look

The last look of the day was the one that stuck with me the most. Victoria stepped out in a bold, sexy dress that demanded attention. It was one of those moments that instantly shifts the energy in the room—you know you’re about to capture something unforgettable.

As a photographer, those are the kinds of moments you hold onto. The final frames of the shoot left me with images that were equal parts powerful, stylish, and daring—a perfect way to close out the session.

Looking Ahead

Editing these images reminded me why I love going back into my archives. Sometimes the best inspiration isn’t about creating something new, but rediscovering the magic you’ve already captured.
