Back to black and white nude basics!
Um, Technically at the Met!
So…not that you can really tell, but these were also taken outside the Met! Ivy is a pretty consistent theme for me, so when I encounter a big beautiful wall of it, I’m in.

A Note On Environments
These two shots were taken within 5 minutes of each other, within 5 feet of each other. I try to make the most of whatever space I’m shooting, and Brittany is fine with slipping out my bedroom window onto the fire escape…

Wide awake and dreaming…
Ballet Part 3
Here’s the last batch from the Brittany shoot! A note on the word last…I rarely mean it. I’ll often go back through a shoot and see something that didn’t register the first time around. The last shot was a last minute inspiration on her part, taken right outside the park as we were about to go our separate ways. Brittany was wonderful to work with…not afraid of a little dirt and dampness while bringing so much elegance and creativity to the table.
If you like what you see here, feel free to check out my print shop…great way to fill up those empty walls! www.elizabethzusev.etsy.com
Pets Interrupting Photo Shoots…
Guess who came to butt into todays shoot? Slinky and Lilly of course! My kids can never seem to leave Heather alone…ok, back to editing…
Happy Saturday!
Angel here makes the perfect pin-up girl…sadly she now lives on the opposite coast, but I have a feeling we’ll meet again. Have a wonderful weekend…I’ll be shooting tomorrow 🙂
Brittany in Central Park Part 2
This shoot was very mellow and relaxed…just wandering the park looking for interesting backgrounds, done in about and hour and a half. When Brittany showed me this peach outfit, I was excited to shoot her against grays and greens. Interesting how some of these don’t look like they were taken in NYC…little more of a fairy tale vibe. When we got the bridge, we encountered some tourists with two little girls. They were quite mesmerized with meeting a real ballerina! Brittany was so sweet to them and they all got on their toes while the parents snapped a picture.
I do have a few prints from this shoot (and many others) available here: www.elizabethzusev.etsy.com and more will be added shortly!
Lucky 13th Anniversary!
Well…it’s my 13th wedding anniversary, so that gives me an opportunity to share one of my oldest shots. This was taken about a week after we got married. As you can see, my husband was in the Navy at the time and we had to rush off to get married before he shipped out to Japan. We got married in a court in Flagstaff, AZ and exchanged rings at the grand canyon…where he almost slipped off the edge! Very grateful for that handy branch he grabbed onto. Our honeymoon consisted of a drive across the country back to the east coast, and it was a blast…and a great way to spend time together for the many months we spent apart. We arrived home, and I demanded we do this since we didn’t on the actual day. I shot this myself with a tripod and timer. Grainy, horrible scan, but I like it 🙂
