So Helen and I stay over at the a friend's house over night with the intent of waking up early for a long drive. We had originally planned to go to a Morikami Museum to test some shots. Funny how NO ONE woke up anywhere near on time for the drive lol. A 9am drive never happened because most of us woke up at around 1:00pm lol. In a rush, my little model's mother just grabbed a dress and we just went to some place in the grove (don't recall where) and we begin taking some test shots.

It was HOT. HUMID, and it began to rain. I felt a little bad for my little model because we were unable to get the shots we wanted. That's fine, we'll try again next time, at the right place :)

Here is one of my favs of that day. I did not want a typical "Look at me, I'm pretty in a dress and Tiara in a garden!". I wanted something a little more along the lines of, "WTF are you looking at" while looking pretty in a dress and tiara :).



Helen did a really good job with the makeup with nice colors, but I killed it when I had this "attitude" image for this shot. I love her stare towards the camera, her pose, and the circular back light composed of many wine bottles.

This shot was taking with available light.

Then there is this one.


My little model being silly just spinning around. I thought it was cute so I shot.
I would show the following pictures of her falling to the ground after making herself dizzy, but I like her too much lol. It's things like this that makes photography so much fun.
