I love working with creative people and Kira Birchfield is one of the most talented people I know. Her jewellery is both beautiful and handcrafted to perfection. She asked me to take some photos for her website to showcase her pieces in a way that reflected the beautiful spirit of her work. The day of the shoot was overcast and as we were going to a nearby nature reserve, I worried that we wouldn't have enough light under the canopy of trees. Luckily, we found there were many wonderful pools of diffused light to illuminate both the model and the jewellery.
We also captured images of her work environment. As an artist I am really fascinated by other artist's studios. Kira's is inspiring with its views of the mountains and the many treasures scattered around. I especially fell in love with the antique tools that she uses daily to create her work.
