Messy Studio Session with TJ Turner

TJ and I are back at it. I invited him over for some coffee and to check out some of my latest work... he inspired me by giving me a new cowboy reference photo to turn into a painting!!! You'll have to wait to see the finished piece!

Not only have TJ and I become buddies, he's also shot some of my favorite studio session photos with me. I love working with him because he patiently waits for special little moments to capture with his lens- perfectly messy and in-the-moment. While we are shooting/painting, sometimes we talk and laugh about stories, and sometimes I'm really into my painting groove and we don't say a word!

Enjoy some of our photos from a day in the studio!

Studio Session with TJ Turner

I love when I find cool people to collaborate with. I met Minneapolis photographer TJ Turner a few years back while working on a photo shoot, and I knew I had to make him my friend.

Not only have TJ and I become buddies, he's also shot some of my favorite studio session photos with me. I love working with him because he patiently waits for special little moments to capture with his lens- perfectly messy and in-the-moment.
