We are happy even if we're smiling out of fear

I've been feeling so inspired by Lorde's music lately. If you have no idea who she is, go look her up NOW because she is wonderful and her song Tennis Courts is all I could listen to while editing this set.

Originally this was meant to be shot in a very cloudy, stormy beach but weather rarely cooperates and we shot during golden hour at a deserted beach. Despite 30 degree (Celsius) temperatures, model Maria C braved the grungy layers with cool aplomb. First-time stylist Luiza Pino did an amazing job putting together our 90's inspired wardrobe and took some shots through-out the whole thing, really looking forward to seeing her photos of the day. Kudos to our "assistant" Jose for his good cheer and holding a giant reflector in strong winds.
