More than one of you has complained that I don't post often enough...and has wondered where I disappear to all the time...well, aside from the usual things, (job, relationship, etc ), I work on my photography...which means working with models...which means:

* meeting up with them before a shoot, to have them try on costumes, and for us to decide which costumes are best
* planning a shoot--including any additional makeup, props, costumes, etc, that I may need to track down for it
* actually DOING the shoot
* finishing up proofs for the model in question
* editing the model's print and web choices after they select them

It's tremendously time-consuming...and leaves me little time for dA...but I thought I'd post a few edited images from some of the shoots I've done this last year, until I find more time to do some more creative stuff for you.

This is an image of the lovely and charming Shawndy--one of the sweetest and most polite young women I've worked with so far, in addition to possessing the most astonishingly beautiful eyes I've ever seen--they're huge, with long, curly lashes, and to my mind, they make her look rather like a particularly pretty, startled fawn.

This particular subset of our shoot is what I think of as the "Lady Amberleigh" set. (Don't know why...just do.) She's wearing another of the wonderful costumes bequeathed to me by my very good friend, model and costumer, Maura [link] [link] , this time, an Aesthetic tea gown. The gown is unintentionally racy, as it didn't quite fit Shawndy, and wouldn't hook up, in front.

She liked it that way...and I must admit--so did I. It became the kernel of my idea for that part of the shoot...which later involved her reading the racy bits from 1001 Arabian Nights, on the sly...

You can see more of Shawndy in her portfolios at [link] and [link] .

Enjoy!
