Meet Melinda

Artistic people inspire me.

They have the innate ability to see the world differently.

Through interpretation, color, paint, pencil or thought.

I always wonder when viewing an artists work how that particular image came to be.

How were they inspired? Was it a mood? Was it a person? Was it a fabric? What made them pick up the paint brush and create? I think that is the major allure for me when viewing art.

I want to know what they were thinking.

Meet Melinda.

An artist and an art teacher.

You can see her personal art collection, and read about the community murals
she helped to create and execute to beautify Long Island neighborhoods here!

Thanks Melinda for spicing up the shoot with such a rockin' outfit and style that stretches out for miles.

I love glamorous.
You my darling were the definition of it!

p.s.

for all of my photographer friends - the images above were taken with the lovely 85mm 1.4

Make-up above was done by Timeless Beauty.

Ms. Meghan

Jennifer Aniston would ask to use her for a body double. No joke. Her jaw bone is fierce, LOVE it. Her hair...yeeeah, I'm sure you can hate her for it. It's amazing...

I should have known when I saw the shear panic upon her face, that something was awry. Now, don't think all session's are that scary! ; ) I asked Meghan to squat down so I could take a picture from above. Pretty simple you think, right? Well after several minutes of her trying to get down in that position, she looked up at me and said "I guess I shouldn't have done kick-boxing this morning..." : ) Yep! You don't think a body that awesome comes without dedication, do you?

I must thank you Ms. M for putting up with my silly requests even when you were in pain. You were a super trooper. Thanks for also braving all of the elements I put you in...and for ummmm putting up with all of the oogling from people passing by. I would have yelled at them...but really, who can blame them?!

Hot stuff...

It just get's better...

LOVE the hat. I think they are a fantastic way to frame a face!

The eyes were not even touched. They really are that cool. They have a very wonderful amber color to them.

The bold necklace was a fantastic piece that added nice texture. Great choice Meg!

So I started something new a few sessions back. My 'out of the box' shots. They are a little different then the norm, a little non-traditional...okay very. They are my 'fun' images I try when I want to get a bit creative. They are for ME! : ) 

Sun flair is a funny thing...either you love it or hate it. I'm a lover.

I like how the image has a washed, vintage look to it.

and a black and white image for good measure. I think she looks very old school 'Hollywood' here.

Don't you think?
