Last weekend, a handful of people converged to help a friend with her final photography project, which was to emulate a famous photographer.

I was lucky enough to be one of those in attendance.

The lovely model you see in the photograph, Jessica, was wrapped in a sheet and a scarf, and then sent into gross water. All I did with this part of the project was to help find a location similar to what was in the goal photograph and to see if the pose was close enough.

Then came the fun part.
In exchange for helping with the project, my friend wanted to make sure that Jessica got some pretty, personal portraits.
In addition to Jessica, my friend, and I, there was also my friend's sister, my friend's niece, and Jessica's friend, Doni.
We shot Doni, Jessica, and my friend's niece in a couple different locations.
This photo is one of my favorites.
The location can be translated into a child shoot, a newborn shoot, a maternity shoot, and an engagement session, but I think that it would also serve well for a family session or a senior session, so it's pretty much a good location to keep in mind.
(Thanks to my friend for introducing me to it, if she reads my blog.)

I'm out of school now, so I can focus on growing and expanding my photography business, so maybe I'll have some shoots that I can use that location!

Then come the wild weather, come sleet or come snow, we will stand by each other, however it blow.

This is one of my favorite shots from the short flour experiment that I was a part of during my studio photography class.

As mentioned in a blog post a few weeks ago, I would love to explore this idea further. It is truly so versatile.

There are also plans to do something similar to this shoot, but with rain. The rain shoot is still in the planning stages, but I have a general idea of how I'm going to go about it.
