Lifestyle Photography | Naples ~ Dobrina

I have the most beautiful, patient, generous and, probably, most unsuspecting friends in the world. I secretly hope they all end up in front of my camera. *Insert evil laugh here* Only they don't know this yet. Yes, they are beautiful and cool and funny and awesome and also patient with me and my "Wait, it's not focusing..." or "Hold on don't move, I didn't get the shot yet" photo shoot weirdo-ness.

A fine example of what I'm talking about is Dobrina. When I told her I wanted to practice some backlit photography, she said yes to a shoot with me... Of course, she didn't know that I was going to take her to a field with God knows how many creepy crawlers all around... But it didn't phase Dobi. I'm pretty sure if a suicidal snake came out of the bushes she would've kicked its behind right then and there. You see, Dobi is half tomboy, half lady. She'll trick you with her sense of awesome European style and girly locks, but on Sundays you catch her paddle boarding off the beach or kayaking with her friends. Because she loves to be active. I love her enthusiasm, her zest for life and energetic being.

In this field shoot, I wanted to bring out the diva in her. I had a vision of her resting in a golden field with a good book, dressed in flowy fabrics that would dance in the wind as she moved... I believe I captured the best of Dobi. You judge for yourself.

This is Dobi below: dancing and twirling. Matches her personality perfectly!

Seriously, Dobi, stop being so gawwwjus, I can't take it!!

Soon, I'll be back with a post of a nautical themed shoot I did with Galina over the week-end and I cannot wait to finish editing those photos, as I'm so in love with them! Hope you will be too!

Have a fabulous week ahead!

PS: Oooops, I messed up on some of the boards: came out smalled then the others...
