A few months ago I was asked to be a part of The August Collaboration by Lemonade & Lenses Magazine. It was one crown, 15 photographers and three months of creativity. I loved the concept and could only imagine how beautiful it was going to turn out with the talent involved… it surpassed every expectation. I am so humbled and honored to be a part of something so beautiful…
And my spread (with some of the outtakes)...
This shoot could possibly go down as my craziest idea yet… I am not sure how many of you have worked with chicken wire (the base for my little deer friend) but I came out the other side looking like I got into a wee hour bar fight- in a blackberry bush and I am still finding random chunks of moss in my house and car (even after having it detailed). Yeah- thinking I should stick to the paper crafts from now on ;)
I also can’t thank Jen enough for jumping on board when the request went a little like “Hey- can you help me with a shoot? It’ll kind of involve some hiking, some mud & uh- carrying a life size moss deer down a mile or so of trails.” Not for the faint of heart and she didn’t bat an eye (okay- there may have been some hysteric laughing as we got stared at the entire afternoon). And a big thank you to Kim as well for being able to create and sew together my crazy ideas for dresses :) I am a lucky girl with an amazing network.
