Some days have a mystical quality to them. This particular Saturday was especially so. The weather was extreme and almost overpowered our plans, so there was already a strange energy in the air. We had discussed costume, hair, and makeup, but I still did not know what to expect. Inviting someone else to share themselves in a combined creative vision is always an interesting experience. I wanted Miranda’s creative influence for this shoot because of her unique way of thinking outside the box. I wanted something different and I knew this would be a fascinating daydream.

When Angel stepped out of the car and into the storm, it was like she stepped through centuries of time. Her hair and makeup were unconventional, and her countenance held a thousand mysteries. In my studio, the costume became complete. It was bizarre – and beautiful. I am often inspired by those I’m working with, and Angel and Miranda were my muses this day. I matched the lighting with my new vision, and set about uncovering some of those mysteries Angel was presenting.

And then we went out into the storm, briefly

Kasey is such a beautiful and talented girl! This was a fun session that also included their ginormous Great Dane puppy, and the opportunity to hear Kasey play her violin! She played so beautifully, I would have loved to listen to her for hours. The weather wasn’t too great as thick storm clouds came rolling in making it really dark out there at Lake Walcott. Luckily I have a bag of tricks so we could create our own sunshine and capture the beautiful fall foliage background
