Shoot 4 of 5: I envisioned this shoot to be straight out of a fairytale: a huntsman with his lady. When I saw my models arrive decked out in their costumes, I was thrilled! My model stylist read my mind exactly: the guy had his rugged, textured look; and the gal had on her pixie skirt and loose blouse. Perfect.

My photographer took us to a pretty park that had a woodsy feel to it, but let more light filter in than your average forest. Unfortunately, it started to rain that day, and it got so bad at one point that we had to call it quits. Rain and stationery do not mix too well. Bummer. At least while the rain held up, we got some pretty pictures in…
