Now, let's talk about the outfit. A white button-down shirt and black jeans are a classic combination that will never go out of style. The simplicity of the outfit allows you to stand out without trying too hard.


When it comes to posing for the camera, stand tall with your shoulders back, and avoid slouching or leaning forward. Experiment with different facial expressions and play around with your arms and legs, we will coach both before and during the session to get the best angles and poses during your photo session.



Finally, to really make your photos pop, we think about the lighting and background. For this reason, we photographed this 30A Jack Daniels inspired photo session during golden hour (the time just before sunset) for a warm and flattering glow. For a nostalgic and throwback vibe, we created most of the images with a warm black and white feel to them. When it came to choosing the background, we kept it simple and uncluttered, which made for some great shots.

Are you a fan of 60's fashion and music? If so, you're in for a treat! The highlight of the session was the appearance of a Leif Garret look-a-like who helped transport us back in time.


The shoot was all about channeling the 60's beach album cover vibe, and it definitely delivered. Melonie and her model did an incredible job with the styling, and he looked like he was born in the wrong era. With his long hair, aviators, and stripped T-shirt, he was the picture of a 60's teen idol.


But the session would not be complete without some Jack Daniel's whiskey and a guitar. These iconic props added to the authenticity of the experience as we were transported back in time. The model's effortless strumming on the guitar only added to the ambiance and made it seem like we were living in the moment.

This t-shirt, reminiscent of the classic Woodstock era, is perfect for capturing the feeling of nostalgia. It's a modern take on a vintage style that will make any wearer feel like they've stepped back in time. So we decided to take this t-shirt and use it as a focal point for a photoshoot that truly captured the spirit of the 60's mens fashion.


We started by grabbing an acoustic guitar and hitting the beach. The sound of the guitar filled the air, just like it would have at the original Woodstock festival. The setting sun provided the perfect backdrop for our vintage photo shoot. With the waves crashing behind us, we posed our model with the t-shirt, pouring Jack Daniel’s whiskey, and feeling the breeze in our hair. It was a time where we could step away from our busy lives and appreciate the world around us.



The t-shirt itself is made from high-quality materials and is designed to last a lifetime. It's breathable and comfortable, perfect for those hot summer days. The stripes give it a bold yet timeless look, and the fitted style ensures that it fits perfectly. With the right accessory or jacket, it can easily transition from a casual daytime look to a dressier outfit for a night out.
