Welcome to my Six Weeks of Summer Creative Challenge! In the summer of 2021, I challenged myself to six weeks of taking ONE concept, one senior, and 30 minutes to create images that are above and beyond the normal ‘portrait session’. Every week I collaborated with one of my six Senior Team members, to
create something amazing. I promised to show the good bad and ugly all along the way.
Week 5 concept is FERNS – and there was no one better for this challenge than beautiful green eyed senior team member Sarah! While I fully intended to bring in THREE ferns (which normally hang on my front porch, one of the ferns was home to a nest of baby sparrows – so we had to settle for just two! This shoot was all-natural light – no fancy hair, makeup or styling. Just beautiful window light, a beautiful girl, and some lovely nature. I am in love with the results- watch – because some day I WILL transform my entire studio into a jungle!
