i knew as soon as i saw merritt that i would not only shoot for her what she needed,
but i would shoot her for what i wanted as well.
the truth is, i pretty much do that with every session. and, why not?
we’re there and as long as i know we’ve got what we need…
that is the time and place to push a little further. lately, i’ve been extra enthralled with light.
stepping out of my comfort zone and into the..let’s see what happens if…zone.
i love it. i love the freedom and the chance and the drama of it.
merritt has a natural beauty, a kind of french film star aura. we played with that.
below are some of my favorite from this session.

Karen, FL - Hi Gina! These are all so lovely, but the one that jumps off the screen for me is the second-to-last one… the full length shot with that amazing leaf print dress. Her posture and expression is just perfect! Beautiful work! 🙂
gina - thank you karen. as soon as i saw that dress, i knew we were using it and she knew how to wear it. a really fun session.
Thea - 6, 8 and the last one took my darn breath away. I love that you shared that you were stepping out, because that inspires me, that you consciously took a risk and it garnered amazing results, rather than intimidates me, that your talent comes from a place of sureness, if that makes any sense? All of these are gorgeous and I can feel you, really feel you and the model in each one. Just stunning.
