i met olivia through a fellow photographer and good friend, tracie. we had a “photography playdate” with olivia (amongst others) previously and i kept in touch with olivia for future shoot possibilities. some plans went awry this day, and by the time we got to the beach, it was enveloped with this thick bank of fog. i told her it could either make this the toughest shoot ever (and possibly, a total throw away) or it could make things really cool and different. judges, get out your scorecards….

after some headshots, we headed over to a cliffside…

olivia was game for whatever and i had some different visions, due to the weather. this called for some extra post-process fiddling…

the day ended with some playful sand-writing, as the tide kept coming up and erasing her pictures…

olivia was a superstar that day…up for anything i came up with. i cannot thank her enough!
photo playdates can be so much fun, and usually yield shots outside of the norm (which, if you know me, you know that “outside of the norm” can be the norm). i have a “short list” of models for such events, and need to add more willing participants!
