A few months ago I photographed Bert Kreischer in Los Angeles for Flamingo Magazine.
Bert was exactly what you'd hope he'd be: funny, generous, and completely game for whatever we threw at him. But the surprise star of the day was his wife, LeeAnn.
If you've ever met someone who can effortlessly hold a room together while simultaneously making everyone feel like an old friend, that's LeeAnn. She brought this warmth and groundedness that made the whole shoot feel less like work and more like hanging out with people you've known for years.
Huge thanks to Jamie and his friend for helping make the day happen. Shoots are never really about one person. They're a weird little temporary family that forms for a few hours, creates something together, and then scatters back into the world.
This was one of those good ones.
