Elle celebrated her golden birthday - 25 on the 25th - with a portrait/fashion photoshoot, and she asked lil ole me to capture it. I love love love that Elle decided to treat herself to this. I truly believe that there is nothing more empowering than having your own photoshoot at least once in your life. When you’re older you won’t look back on these photos and regret taking them. Look how badass, strong and beautiful she looks. I promise, this could be you too.

Anyway, Elle and I met up in Downtown Los Angeles and roamed around with no serious sense of direction. She styled it herself and Olya Tizer beat that face. If you’re interested in your own Birthday Photoshoot email me through my contact form and let’s get planning!
