Sasha and I connected through a referral from Kristen, another model I had worked with. For her session, we kept things simple—no studio, no complex logistics—just two looks, natural inspiration, and the cozy ambiance of a friend’s apartment.

Her first look featured warm leg warmers, a cup of tea, and soft window light accented occasionally with flash. The second look highlighted an extraordinary bronze necklace, its hues of black, red, white, and gold bringing editorial elegance to the frame. Using my Polaroid Land Camera 220 and Fujifilm 100c peel-apart film, I captured instant photos that remain some of my favorites. This two-hour session blended intimacy and creativity, producing images I’m proud to share.

Sasha serves in the United States Army, occasionally models across various genres, and is a devoted mother. Upbound Content coordinated all photography logistics for this session.
