I'm excited to introduce you to Demi Dedman. Demi is currently studying to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy at Nova Southeastern University. I met Demi after searching for models to help with my Franklin Sports photo shoots in Miami where she brought fun and positive energy.
Over the course of a month, we shot a sunrise and a sunset on some of my favorite beaches. Scroll down to see my favorite photos and don't forget to tap LIKE to show some love.
This was from our first session together. I found a quiet part of Jacksonville Beach to shoot the sunrise. We started in a classic black bikini swimsuit.
After sunrise on the beach, we moved inland to downtown Jacksonville and the Riverside area.
Memorial Park in Jacksonville worked perfectly!
As sunset ended, we had early morning light. Demi rocked another bikini outfit on Jax Beach.
Demi had always wanted to shoot yoga on the beach. I was able to help her with a few sun-kissed images.
This was one of my favorite poses on the beach. Demi rocked it!
For my second session, we shot at South Pointe Park in Miami Beach at sunset. What a difference from a year ago. Cruise ships and large barges were coming and going creating some incredible unique backgrounds.
The palm trees never disappoint!
We had just enough time to catch palm trees in a sinking sun. What a beautiful way to cap off our two sessions together.
Thank you, Demi, for all the time you dedicated to this project. Two days of shooting, spread over a month, in two incredible cities (Jacksonville and Miami) with incredible swimwear, fitness apparel, and beautiful beach views always makes me happy! I'm looking forward to our next shoot.
