When we pulled into the park, the Spanish moss hanging from the trees were dripping like someone had just wrung out a towel.  The birds were chirping so sweetly, and the fog was light; just as the mist within it was while we walked.  Once we got to the center of the grove, we knew we had hit a gold mine with the sunlight that was peeping through holes in the clouds, making for the perfect blanket over our session.

My sister-in-law had been wanting to develop her modeling portfolio, and I needed someone that could interpret my vision on-camera.  I got the concept for this editorial from Miley Cyrus' Can't Be Tamed music video.  She portrayed a beautiful but fictional bird, called the "Avis Cyrus."  The outfit and colors of the feathers stuck with me from youth to adulthood.  Keeping that concept in mind, I ordered all of the pieces of the photoshoot garb from Amazon and got to work, curating the perfect session.  When I showed my mood board to my SIL, she was instantly on-board!

She definitely did NOT disappoint!

Even when we wrapped with the session in the park, we weren't done creating art.  She agreed to stay another day, and we planned a silk and water session for the beach the next morning.  

The waves, the sunrise, the sand... Everything was on-point and ready for our session when we arrived.  The wind was a perfect accessory for the silks, and played a painter with the waves; accentuating the poses we achieved while in the water.  

See for yourself; she's a gem, and I can't wait for our next session!
