Every now and then, a photoshoot comes along that lights a creative fire so deeply in your soul that you know it will stick with you forever. This was one of those shoots.



From the moment I started planning this spooky, witchy-inspired session, I knew it was going to be special—but I had no idea just how much it would move me as a photographer. Every detail—the styling, the location, the lighting—fell into place so naturally. And at the heart of it all was Jordan, the stunning goddess of a model who brought the entire vision to life with such grace and power.



We chose a rugged, moody location tucked just far enough away from the city to feel enchanted. The textures of weathered rock, tangled brush, and fading desert light gave us a perfectly eerie, cinematic backdrop. The moment we arrived, it felt like we had stepped into a different realm—one where spells were cast with glances and the air buzzed with ancient energy.



Jordan’s presence in front of the camera was pure magic. She embodied the witchy energy effortlessly—equal parts mysterious, ethereal, and strong. Her eyes told stories, her movement was intentional, and every frame we captured felt like a scene from a dark fairytale. She made my job easy. She was the spell.



The styling for this shoot was a dream come true for me—layered fabrics in deep blacks, textured lace, dramatic sleeves, and bold accessories. Every element worked together to build a visual narrative steeped in feminine power and otherworldly energy. It's not just about pretty outfits—it's about telling a story, and this one was dark, beautiful, and empowering.



This session reminded me why I love being a fantasy photographer. I live for creating imagery that feels larger than life—portraits that could just as easily be scenes from a movie or pages from a storybook. I’ve always been drawn to the slightly spooky, the magical, the unexplained. And with this shoot, I finally got to bring some of those long-held visions to life.

Jordan was an absolute dream to work with—open, creative, and fearless. Collaborating with someone who trusts your vision and leans into the process makes all the difference. I’m endlessly grateful to her for helping shape one of my favorite sessions to date.

I left this shoot feeling energized, creatively fulfilled, and so damn proud. The final images are everything—hauntingly beautiful, rich with mood, and packed with emotion. I’ll be riding the high of this one for a long time.



If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into your own mystical fantasy or channeling your inner witchy queen, let’s talk. These are the sessions I live for.
