This is Kelly Davidson. When it comes to photography, Kelly is my number one creative collaborator. And what I mean by that is that there is literally no one else on the planet that I have co-created a photography experience with.
Kelly is my go to hair and make-up artist, which means over the past five years we have probably done a couple of hundred photoshoots together.
There are many reasons I love working with Kelly most notably, she is incredibly talented but also more than just talent, Kelly is really wonderful to work with for both myself and my clients. She has a really great personality, is always kind and considerate, and is deeply committed to doing the best possible work she can.
AND …
Kelly so friggin silly.
Now you might be saying what does silly have to do with a photoshoot and as someone who has taken over 900,000 photos of people all over the world I am here to tell you silly is so fundamental.
Silly is a cousin to playful, and playful is the number one way to consistently encourage your inner artist to show up.
So all this to say, yes when it comes to creative collaborators, I am looking for skilled and passionate artists and also people who I can be incredibly silly with on set.
Thank you for being my partner in silliness Kelly Davidson.
Big love,
D
