I’ll admit it, as soon as I opened the first Hunger Games book, I was hooked. I read all three books in three days. So when I drove past this building that was so reflective, it seemed to glow with fire, I knew that I had to plan a shoot inspired by miss Katniss Everdeen. Kait and I woke up at 5:30 am and got to our location just as the light started coming up in the distance. I love the way the world looks in the wee hours of the morning.
P.S. listen to “We Found Love” by Rihanna while looking at this post. That was our second source of inspiration! Enjoy!

This is my friend Quinn- he is an extremely gifted musician and producer. I love working with musicians (I studied music in college and I’m pretty handy with a glockenspiel) and this shoot was no exception. Excited to see where this year takes you my friend! -K

Chandler is a beautiful and talented lady who is about to release her first EP! She is a student at Belmont University and is a beautiful person inside and out. We got together on a rainy morning in December and did this shoot in my house for her CD art. Chandler, I can’t wait to hear how all your hard work comes together! -Kristin

Model- Daniel Smith

These three girls were so much fun to work with! Dominique, Ebby, and Talitha are all roommates, and wanted to do a fun “Real Housewives” inspired shoot in downtown Nashville. We got some great shots with the night cityscape behind us. Thanks for making my  job so fun girls!
