Kristyna styled herself for this one, and that changed everything about how the day moved. We picked locations in Louisville off a thread of inspiration, her wardrobe, her personality, a color story that felt right, and then let ourselves get swept up in it instead of planning every frame down to the second. Some of the strongest images in this gallery happened because we followed a feeling instead of a shot list.

This was also a true collaboration. Kristyna's brand and web designer, Jonathan Tilley, was part of the process from the start, these images were shot first, then handed off for him to work his own magic on the brand side. Two creative processes, one shared vision.
