Hi at Historic Places in Coconut Grove with Alyssa / by Johnny Michael

Howdy y’all! 👋 Here’s another fun shoot for the books… I planned this shoot with Alyssa to feature historic places in Coconut Grove while capturing some fresh images for the Hi 👋 brand. I loved how the colors came together here… particularly the red and oranges you can see at Peacock Park or by the Women’s Club and the Coconut Grove Library. Then again some awesome yellows at The Barnacle and Stirrup House.

To step it up and be more diligent /slash/ professional about these shoots — my prep has been more thoughtful. With a focus on trying to communicate my visions and plans to collaborators along with all the things that help me grow as a pro photographer and director. Here’s a link to the mood board I put together to guide and inspire the shoot. It’s nothing fancy-schmancy, but it’s a start and guides the gig.

Alyssa had a lot of positive energy and was a joy to work with. Overall I’m happy with the results! Hip Hip Hooray, we Howdy-done-did-it. Check out what’s new in the Hi 👋 shop here
