I have been longing to do a photo shoot at the beach all summer, and when I found out that we were going to have the last warm day of the summer I grabbed a fab team of ladies and headed to the beach! Novelist Holly Black in one of her books writes about a creature that lures people into the water, killing them and forever making them a companion. That idea has always stayed in my mind and I wanted to somehow incorporate the feeling of helplessness, danger and yearning into the shoot.
Cynthia August (Stylist) was able to a place for us to do hair and makeup and then we headed out on our beach adventure!I forgot how much of a challenge it is to shoot on sand, I still have sand in my camera case!
