Women’s Moto Exhibit: MotoLady
A smattering of unseen photographs from my shoot with Lanakila MacNaughton for the Women’s Moto Exhibit near Temecula, California.
I was fortunate enough to have the help of Isaac and Tim of Trophy Motorcycles (website) who lent me a lovely 1970 Triumph Desert Sled for riding. You see, at the time I still hadn’t completed my Monster Project. It seems so long ago…

There was a really fun group of gals on the shoot, and I always love hanging out with Lana and seeing her work her magic.
