I met Emily through Model Mayhem, a network of models, photographers, make-up artists, hair stylists and all sorts of creative people. She is from Wethersfield, CT and travelled down to Florida for spring break with her boyfriend Mark. While here, she wanted some new photos taken for her model portfolio. She mentioned Connecticut is different in nature than Florida, so I ran with the idea of a shoot in the thick Florida vegetation. I did not want to scare Emily away (it was her first visit down after all!) and so I didn't take her to the Everglades (like I first concocted in my mind to do....*insert "bruuhahahaha" laugh here*), but instead we chose Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, an eden for bird watchers and nature lovers alike.
Emily was a dream to work with, I had very little to no direction to give her, she knew exactly how to work her body. It didn't hurt that she is an artist too and that she absolutely loves America's Next Top Model! Her poses were spot on and she had the grace of a ballerina. Besides being an awesome model, her and her very patient boyfriend Mark were so wonderful to hang out with and talk, I had a great time just chatting with them throughout the whole shoot!
I had such a pleasure processing these photos, here is Emily's best work.
Emily has super long legs. Not sure which genes were responsible for that, the Polish, the Indian, the Swedish or the French Canadian in her (I probably forgot a side, sorry)...
This pose? Ummm, I'm pretty sure it's not in the "Posing for Dummies" book!
Here, we're breaking the law. Well, just a tiny bit. We got off the boardwalk and ventured out in the wild, leaving Mark to look out for bears or hogs or crazy animals that might have come to eat us! :) But I'm pretty sure he would've prefered to not admit that he knew us if the Park Rangers came while we were out there... Hahaha...
So worth it! Em, thanks for putting up with my crazy ideas!
This picture is one of my favorites...So Emily...
Fierce!
Yes, this is ballerina-like
I'll leave you with a gorgeous close-up of Emily
We had such a good time yesterday that we met up again today for a few shots on the beach. More to come in the next couple of days!
Have a great week everyone!
