A couple years ago I decided to do a studio shoot.  Two days and nine models later I was completely worn out.  But I had met a new muse.  Shanna came to that shoot with props for not only herself but for any of the other girls to use.  She had three full vintage outfits and had even rented one of them from an antique store to have the right look for the shoot.  And her pics turned out great.

Since then I've had the joy of working several more times with Shanna including her engagement photos, bridals, and wedding.

Unfortunately, after the wedding she moved away to Colorado and we haven't been able to work together since.  So imagine my pleasure when she contacted me because she was visiting and wanted to do another shoot.

The shoot concept was quite different from usual - take an old chair and place it in the lake ... and pose around it and on it. 

So we headed off bright and early on a Saturday morning to create our new project.  My wife, Moira, came along to assist as usual.  She is great to have along ... really easy tempered and helpful.  Shanna brought a couple of sisters as well.  As we were scouting a location at the lake to shoot, we found a spot with submerged trees and bushes ... perfect!

Thanks Shanna!  You are amazing.
