fernanda_20210515-202-Edit My neighbor has a daughter who is one of those "born to succeed" types. Brittany seems to always have something going on and the more you get to know her, the more amazing surprises you find. One of those "somethings" she has going on is a fashion line of resort swimsuits called Voyage. She makes elegant and unique suits for both men and women with her signature print of world maps. Brittany sells her Voyage swimwear to individuals and resorts all over the globe, in places as far away as China.

And she makes it look easy...

voyage_20170930-572 One day, I get a call from her mother, who sells multi-million dollar homes for breakfast - the apple does not fall far from the tree. She asks me if I could do a shoot for her daughter's swimsuit line. Brittany had a celebrity friend who was in town and she had gotten permission from one of her clients to use his 120 foot yacht as the location. My response was a cautious "let me check my sched...YES!" Sometimes opportunity knocks, and sometimes it calls you from a luxury yacht with a celebrity in a swimsuit.

Brittany had met Emily on the reality show Below Deck. Brittany was showcasing her swimwear on the show and the two of them became friends. After Emily left the show they stayed in touch and, on this particular weekend, Emily, who is British, happened to be traveling from London to South Florida to visit friends. Emily had the appeal, Brittany had the swimsuits, I knew the mother of the designer, and I had a camera.

The shoot had its challenges but we walked away with some images I am very proud of. Emily was an absolute delight of a person and has gone on to accomplish some very exciting things herself since the time of this shoot. Like Brittany, success is part of Emily's DNA and she is back in London promoting good health through her Instagram account (@english_ems) and the prepared food company she co-founded, POW Food (Power Of Wellness).

The next time I would shoot for Brittany, would involve Eddie, a former professional tennis player who now coaches the talented Lauren Davis. I had done a photoshoot with Eddie a while back and Brittany was interested in using him to showcase some of her men's suits. I talked to him about it and he was more than happy to do it. Eddie is your all-around athlete type so beyond his talent for tennis, he was also a surfer and as it turns out he was at the beach pretty much every day at sunrise anyway.

I taught him that backflip by the way (true story). We met up early in the morning and got down to shooting. It's always fun shooting athletes because they are up for just about anything. We did some pretty standard model type stuff to warm up.

Some time after the shoot with Eddie, I was approached by my long time friend Fernanda for some updated modeling photos. She wanted to do some swimsuit photos so I immediately thought of Brittany. I gave her a call to see if we could get some Voyage suits for our shoot and Brittany sent me 2 suits to use. We got an elegant black bikini with gold Voyage detail and a characteristic map print one piece. The shoot took place at the gorgeous Jupiter Beach Park.

fernanda_20210515-129-Edit-Edit This is one of my favorite shoots with Fernanda, and it also helps promote Brittany's brand which is always a plus. I am a firm believer in helping people achieve their dreams, and here I got to help two friends at once.

fernanda_20210515-442-Edit I will end this post with some more images from the three shoots above, please enjoy!
