The Last Photoshoot of 2024

The Last Photoshoot of 2024

As 2024 came to a close, I managed to squeeze in one final photoshoot to wrap up the year on a creative high note. It felt like a perfect opportunity to work with people I admired, so I reached out to Gabrielle, my friend, model, and muse. She’s someone I’ve collaborated with on countless occasions and can always count on to bring magic to the lens. I also invited Sammi, a talented model I’d worked with earlier in March, but hadn’t had the chance to reconnect with since. Thankfully, she was excited to join, and the timing couldn’t have been better.

Finding the right space for this shoot was surprisingly easy, thanks to platforms like Peerspace. With just a few clicks, I booked a charming and affordable studio in Orlando, Florida. It had the perfect blend of character and warmth, setting the tone for what I hoped would be an unforgettable session.

Our time was limited—just a couple of hours to make the most of the space—so once Gabrielle and Sammi arrived, we got straight to work. Despite the time crunch, I’m thrilled with how the photos turned out. Of course, not every shot is destined to be a masterpiece, but we captured more gems than misses, and that’s always a win in my book.

If I could go back and change one thing, it would have been to book an extra hour. I had 2-3 rolls of film sitting in my bag, untouched, as we focused entirely on digital photography. I kept thinking about how different the energy of film feels—its rawness, its imperfections, its soul. It’s a lesson I’ll take into my next shoot: prioritize film first and let digital take the backseat, or maybe skip it altogether.

For now, though, I’m happy to share a few of my favorite images from this session. If you’d like to see the full set, head over to my Patreon for an exclusive look. Here’s to more creativity, more connections, and more stories to tell in 2025!
