Photography:: Alluring and Luminous

-

The sun, luminous and alluring, created the perfect lighting. Her relaxed waves and long, billowy skirt were perfectly tuned; romantic blissfulness. Brilliant color blocking- radiant blush and soft, demure turquoise- captured the rapturing sunset and illuminated her kind features. Beautiful photo shoot.

Melissa was a pleasure to shoot, a natural for one thing, but also open for suggestions and guidance. She traveled over 1,400 miles from Sioux Falls, SD, to visit my precious baby K, along with my younger sister Lena, so a photo shoot? I couldn't resist.


An avid fashion enthusiast, Melissa styled the shoot herself, sticking to romantic textures and bold color combinations. Her top was thrifted at a local shop for under two dollars; her skirt, Forever 21. Pulling the entire look together, beautifully and alluring.

    She's a natural for sure! What great weather and lovely lighting at the beach! I love the soft glow of the sun in the 2nd photo, the monochromatic with a touch of orange/yellow of the profile one, and again the soft glow of the photo below that. I love the sun flare in the photo below that! Oh, and the "who me" innocence of the one below that. Ok, guess I just talked about most of them ;). Great shoot and way to take advantage of the situation! You used your 50mm for these? I have much to learn! Do you do any post-edits with like CS or anything?

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. ~Frederick W. Robertson Our home is not big nor fancy but just cozy enough for our lil family. So grateful that we did not get affected by hurricane Sandy and prayers to anyone north of us that was affected. Happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween! Taking Kaylee trick or treating tonight!
