We are in NY doing meetings and swung by The New York Times for some high fives and the lovely @christyyyyk reminded us that they have a photo of we took of the cast of The Black Panther hanging in the newsroom! She kindly took this photo of us trying so hard to look as cool as the cast. (@kendrickbrinson was sitting with the fabulous cast on an invisible stool if you’re wondering 😂😂 )

LA Woman: @oohlalola // Lola Blanc co-founded an all-female horror filmmaker collective called Fatale Collective! The collective has a new anthology short film called “Bleed,” and Lola wrote, directed, and starred in one of the shorts. Also, keep your ears 👂 out for a new podcast on cults called “Trust Me” that @oohlalola co-hosts! 😮 #lawomanbrinsonbanks

Welp, we’ve changed our minds over and over on which of these 3 images is our favorite. (You try having two people agree on a couple images from a couple thousand after every photo session and you’d get decision and compromise fatigue, too 😂) We love the way the yelloworange light falls down the bridge of her lovely nose ✨✨👃✨✨. We think #1 is our current this moment favorite? But that has changed a couple times already. You tell us. Photographed for @joinhandshake

Another portrait for @joinhandshake with creative direction from @andreawise_ and assisting from @lukaszanoli

Getting hired to make photos the way we like to make photos (ahem, color’splosions) with great people is our favorite. We took so many 🌈colorful portraits for @joinhandshake thanks to @andreawise_’s colorful + creative vision and it was so fun! So so many beautiful faces including this most amazing smile. Thank you for the extra hands @lukaszanoli

When we do an LA Woman portrait session we are most often meeting our subject in person for the first time at her front door. We come in, pet the dog or cat, put our gear down, and ask if we can peek around the creative woman’s house. Then, after we’ve picked about three spots, we peer in her closet and ask her to help us pick out clothes she feels good in. Welp, this light was on @oohlalola’s dining room RED VELVET wall and this divine red velvet dress was in her closet. 😍 All we had to do was take the portrait. (And now I’m hungry for some red velvet cake.) #lawomanbrinsonbanks

LA Woman: singer, songwriter, musician, filmmaker, photographer @aprettycoolgirl aka Margaret Bienert // One of the coolest parts of working on this ongoing portrait series of rad creative LA women is we get to see all the amazing work they continue to create and share with the world. Margaret and her husband Corey just launched the first in a new docu-series on rad themed-room hotels and it’s a must see! You can watch it on YouTube (A Pretty Cool Hotel Tour Cove Haven) and it’ll make you laugh and cry and then laugh again. Congrats, Margaret!! 💙 #lawomanbrinsonbanks

🌈 Throwing it back to this dreamy session with @phem + @arvidabystrom for @wonderland 🌈

LA Woman: Writer @emilyvgordon // We just read that Emily is writing and producing a new ABC comedy with actress @sarahhyland. 😮 Can’t wait to watch it! #lawomanbrinsonbanks

We heard that today was #nationaldogday so we went hunting for the cutest pooches that snuck into our LA Woman portraits. Swipe, swipe, swipe 😍😭 So. Many. Cute. Pups. (This goes out to you @kris.feliciano 🐕) #lawomanbrinsonbanks #nationaldogday🐶 #dogs #dogsofinstagram

LA Woman: y’all, fantabulous illustrator @loveiswiseillu sleeps under a money tree, also known as a good luck tree, every night. 💚🌿😴 Sweet Dreams. #lawomanbrinsonbanks

LA Woman: @oohlalola + @rambosgettingold #lawomanbrinsonbanks

First up: tell us which photo you like more out of these two! 1 or 2? // LA Woman: singer, writer, filmmaker, songwriter Lola Blanc aka @oohlalola with her adorable pup Rambo in her LA home. Lola’s home is full of deep rich colors and it was such a treat to be able to use it as our backdrop. “My home is like an extension of myself. I spend so much time in my apartment and do so much of my work there, it’s like its own art project for me. I want to look around and see colors, design, and objects that I love. I know material objects do not bring us happiness in theory, but designing my apartment and filling it with beautiful things sure does,” Lola said. #lawomanbrinsonbanks

✨👁✨ LA Woman: Lola Blanc @oohlalola | Lola is a writer and a creator—she is a filmmaker who acts and a songwriter who sings. “I think LA is really unique in that practically everyone here has a big dream, and most of those dreams involve some kind of creative career. There’s definitely more of an emphasis on being commercially successful here than in other artsier cities, but I don’t think we’re at all lacking in artfulness or authenticity. You just have to look in the right places,” Lola told us. More to come! #lawomanbrinsonbanks

✨✨✨✨ LA Woman: artist @loveiswiseillu ✨✨✨✨✨ #lawomanbrinsonbanks

LA Woman: Loveis Wise (yes, that’s her gorgeous name) only just moved to LA by way of DC and then Philadelphia one month ago. We got to check out her adorable Echo Park home (she unpacked and settled in fast!). Loveis is an incredible illustrator whose work we have long admired (you can spot it out in the world on anything from covers of The New Yorker to Google to Buzzfeed—her client list is long). “In the past, my goals were to dabble and share my work in every space imaginable. Now, my work feels much more intentional and I just want to incorporate joy into everything I make.” Yes, we feel that. Do yourself the hugest favor and check out her work on Instagram @loveiswiseillu and at http://loveiswise.com ✨✨✨✨✨✨ #lawomanbrinsonbanks
