A couple of months ago we were contacted by EMI CMG in Nashville about photographing one of their artists, Shawn McDonald for his upcoming album. We were totally excited about the project because we love Shawn's music, his heart, his honesty and his story. Shawn is the type of guy who is 100% authentic and down to earth. Plus, he's originally from Seattle which makes him extra amazing :)
Shawn now lives in Ohio and came out to Seattle for the shoot with us. Chris shot all the film frames in the set with our hassie and Leica M6 and I shot the digital images. Tiffany Lowry did her magic on hair and make up and offered some of her styling expertise as well. We spent the day together going all around Seattle capturing different parts of Shawn's three-dimentional personality and style. I'm really excited about this upcoming record for him, I see and hear so much freedom in his voice and the few songs I heard from the album are just beautiful. It's definitely worth a good listen.
Artist: Shawn McDonald
Record Label: EMI CMG
Make up/Hair/Styling: Tiffany Lowry

WOW what a privilege. The shots are amazing. He is a beautiful soul. My favorite is the second shot. The colors rock my world. Thanks for sharing Sarah!
Incredible, Sarah!
The one in front of the fridge is my fave. It's sort of effortlessly retro. Good old fashioned feel without trying to hard. Maybe that doesn't make sense, but point is that it's gorgeous and I love it.
