My friend Jenn asked if I would like to style photoshoot for her and I gratefully obliged. She then told me we would be shooting with a ball python named Reggie! It was my first time ever holding a snake; Reggie was so sweet and she really just l ikes to hug you for warmth!

Since Reggie was going to be in the shots and we were going to be shooting in the Mission, I came up with an idea of a Hipster Eve for which I built the looks around. I wanted to capture three stages of Eve.

1. Meeting the serpent. She is not yet aware of her nudity, hence, nude top.
2. Influenced by the serpent reflected in the sequins which reminded me of scales.
3. Seductress. Covered in fur and flowers as opposed to leaves.

The whole day was tons of fun, especially walking around and hearing comments from passersby: “Omg, is that a snake?”; “She totally has a snake”; and quote of the day, “How inconsiderate of people who are afraid of snakes!”

Got an idea? Let’s collabo, hit me up =]
