Lily VonTrapp came over for a late shoot last night…loving her red hair in contrast with the green tutu!
Raven
Sometimes…
….strange things happen in my living room with Poppy Rouge and Ariel LaRoux
Silk
I’ve put this silk scarf through a lot over the years! Here’s a lovely dancer ensconced in color…you can view and download the set over at patreon!
Swamp Witches
I met Jordan through Lyz, and shot them separately with Celeste on wardrobe, and this time, they wanted to do a look together: swamp witches! They braved through the mud, dirt, stinging nettles, and all…
You can find these lovelies on instagram at @sisterite, @enferdame, and @meanwhileinthecostumeshop
Butterflies
I’d been planning this look for awhile. There’s a particular trail at Saint Edwards State Park that leads you down until you’re completely submerged in nature. It’s narrow, but not too difficult…unless, of course, you’re dressed like a nature goddess or lugging cameras. Challenge accepted. Heather was a trooper as she hiked down while mosquitos feasted on her, plants stabbed her, and the butterflies did their best to jump ship as they snagged on branches. I worked around the sneakers.
Don’t worry….she made it down in one piece. We ended the shoot at the bottom and relaxed near the lake and watched a bird of prey soar level with the water. It was a nice day.
Malia
This shoot has been a year in the making! Malia lives in Hawaii and we finally got together last week. We wandered Seward Park and found this amazing hollowed tree to play in. Perfect for a spring renewal theme.
Mari
Time is precious, people. Don’t waste it. Have a beautiful day.
Sawhorse
Swingtime!
Ok, not the music, but there was a swing involved! It was my 15th anniversary yesterday, and my husband and I decided to celebrate with our second shoot with Mari, in a pretty fantastic studio space (Locket Space is SoDo Seattle). Beautiful big windows, great light, and nifty set options, including this swing.
Mari, of course, is a joy to shoot. Even watching her warm up is impressive! I glanced over, and there she was on her back, kicking her legs all the way to the floor behind her shoulder. Plenty more to come!
