Transplant bliss
Photographer Jim Newberry and Melissa Young, both originally from Chicago, now live in Los Angeles.
They have worked together several times over the years, most recently in early September when Newberry was shooting promotional images for Young, who is a local recording artist. The featured image is from their photo shoot that day, which was just off Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake.
“After living my entire life in Chicago, I’m obsessed with the beautiful plants and flowers in Southern California,” Newberry said.
