model shots {liz k from st. cloud, minnesota}

We almost had to reschedule this photo shoot due to rain, but thankfully it cleared up enough for Liz and I to get some shots for her modeling portfolio. We would have loved to use the sun but did our best to use what we had on this misty cloudy Sunday.... And don't you love her peacock earrings?! I really want to get my ears pierced just so I can wear some like that. 

guest post! (this is exciting stuff, y'all)

Okay, so I'm still writing the post but the photos I'm sharing are done by Jason - my life partner and photography-partner-in-training. He, too, loves working with light and interesting perspectives. We're huge fans of sun spots! And as much as I love being behind the camera, it's so fun to get in front of it too.

We did these earlier this evening off the county road just a few miles from our house using my new 50mm 1.8 lens. The inspiration for this shoot was the sweater I'm wearing, which I found at the thrift store last week for a couple bucks:

In a little over an hour I'll be heading to the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis to do a photo shoot for a model's fall/winter portfolio (no, we will NOT be using the cherry and the spoon in any of the photos, haha). I am beyond excited about this. As much as I love quoting Fight Club ("you are not your f***ing khakis!"), I also love  fashion because it's yet another form of creative expression, another form of art. And fashion/model photography can go in so many different ways - creative liberties abound!

Because I use all natural lighting and work almost exclusively outdoors, my session today will be nothing like the one in the video below, but I still wanted to share it because I think it's cool. I especially love the black and whites of the model in the baggy jeans and heels.
