Kelley Gin is terrified. Her nervous smile is ratting her out. We need a couple warm-up frames. I press the camera against my face but just as I do, a bright idea strikes me. We blast The Killers' Spaceman. Kelley loves The Killers but hasn't seen them live yet. I testify that they indeed put on a good show. In fact, I like The Killers too. So much so that I start fist-pumping to Brandon Flowers' arena rock-filling chorus in the middle of an empty Zuma Beach parking lot.
Maybe this catches her off guard. She's definitely laughing. She's also definitively gorgeous. Her gold heels testify to the fact that shoes alone can carry an entire look...maybe even carry her entire being.
Kelley Gin is the event coordinator and owner of Picture Perfect Events in Southern California. With a penchant for good design, she persuasively ushers her clientele away from the tired hotel wedding in exchange for the endearing...the organically romantic...the whimsical.

Wow, I love these. Very clean, very crisp. My favorite is the one with her holding her toes. It's different, and the dirty bottoms of her feet make a "clean and crisp" shot a bit more real. Very cool.
