Our first shoot at Ace Hotel & Swim Club was one for the record books (and the core memories) 📸✨
Palm Springs heat? Undefeated.
Our creative energy? Also undefeated.
We showed up with a shot list, hopes and dreams, and approximately zero chill.
There was sweating.
There was a small negotiation with a pool float that did not want to cooperate.
There was one very dramatic sunset that showed up right on cue like it read the call sheet.
By the end of the day we had wet clothes (from the swear or the pool, we couldn’t tell which), full memory cards, and a group chat full of behind the scenes chaos that will never see daylight (you’re welcome, everyone involved).
This is the kind of shoot that reminds us why we love this job. Beautiful property, great light, and a team that can turn “we’re losing the sun” into “wait, that shot is actually incredible.”
More from this one coming soon. Palm Springs, you were a whole vibe. 🌴
