A Twin Peaks Inspired Portrait

Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it, just let it happen.~ Dale Cooper

When Annie hired me to take portraits of her, it was a surprise for her husband Tom. Annie is a photographer and I knew I could push the envelope a little more. She told me that her husband does not like portraiture for portraiture’s sake, as he likes every image to reveal a story. No pressure, right?

One of my favorite images is this image from my Pinterest board by Eve Arnold. I asked Annie if she might have a mirror for us to play with. When I got to Annie’s home, it was beautiful with lots of mid-century influences and her bathroom was like a Twin Peaks set. I just knew we had to make some portraits in there. Here is a peek at one of my favorites. I can’t wait to share the rest once I get my film back.
