Ellie Di Virgilio for Prolific Quarterly Magazine

Earlier this year the editors at Prolific Quarterly contacted me about shooting an editorial for their Summer 2016 issue. When they contacted me they had the model and stylist chosen already and asked me to bring in the hair and makeup. The model was Ellie and the stylist was Liberate Dolce. This would be my first time working with Ellie and Libby I was excited to shoot with both of them. I contacted one of my favorite makeup artists in the Tampa area, Ashley Mortimer and knew that she would knock it out of the park. The day came for the shoot and everyone arrived at my studio with amazing energy and ready to go. Ashley rocked the hair and makeup while Libby and I got together the outfits and looks together and figured out the order which we would shoot in.  It was a marathon day of shooting as expected and a ton of shots were taken but each look was great and Ellie kept her energy at 100% the whole time. After hours of shooting the editing process began and after a few days of going back and forth with the mag all shots were chosen and edited then the waiting process began. The Issue came out a few weeks ago and low and behold we got the cover. It was a huge honor considering all of the amazing photography in the magazine. Everyone involved in the shoot was absolutely amazing. Thank you to Ellie, Ashley, Libby and of course Prolific Quarterly for this opportunity and can not wait to do more for them. Below you can see the tear sheets directly from the magazine and I have included some exclusive shots that didn't make the issue...
