Muse: a woman, or a force personified as a woman, who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist.

Blag Girl Magic:  the idea to celebrate the beauty, power, and resilience of black women and to congratulate black woman on their accomplishments.

So Muses + #BlackGirlMagic = This Photoshoot

If these faces are starting to look familiar, it’s because they are. Taylor and Ross are two of my favorite people to shoot in one of my favorite places to shoot - the City Museum.

I swear you could lock me in that building for a year and I would find a new place to shoot every day and not get bored. Every nook and cranny is jam packed with so many different things. The basement is a whole cave system with a crystal stalagmite formation. The rooftop has a ferris wheel that looks out on the city skyline. They have a in-house circus that performs in their own circus ring. A skate park. An aquarium. Giant toads. And a full service bar. Need I say more. 

Anyway, when Ross approached me about getting some photos for her new art website, the City Museum immediately came to mind. Ross is an amazingly talented painter and was setting up a website for her artwork. She uses a lot of bright color and is just a bold personality overall so I wanted the photos to show that. We also decided to bring in some more models to give the shoot a more #blackgirlmagic feel. So we invited Tay, and Alexy (a local photog) and the rest was magic.
