I always have something that I completely love about the people that I shoot. Maybe it's their smile, hair, an adorable laugh, a funky hat, something. These little details help spark my creativity and make the shoot so fun to capture. I always think to myself how can I capture this image to show that thing that I love so much. For Sierra it was her eyes. Hands down her eyes. Large gorgeous blue eyes. She is a gracefully timid gal who has eyes that are so inviting. I love the irony of that. I found myself thinking of poses and scenarios where I could light up her eyes as much as possible which was hard in the dark hotel where we shot these images. Luckily the rain cleared for a few brief moments so we could go outside and explore the grounds at McMenamin's Edgefield.
Thank you Sierra for being so incredibly patient. It was sooo cold, uh and rainy and you handled it like a champ. Good luck this year!
