I've worked with Mikaela lots and lots of times, she's an amazing model.  I've photographed her on land, underwater, and in fashion magazine dresses.  I've photographed her in elevators, on parking garages, and in the studio.  She's moving to California for Career opportunities.  That sucks, but I understand.  The way job prospects have been here, I'd move in a heartbeat if I could get a decent paying photo gig somewhere else.  I even applied to a job in the middle east to be a photographer.  That would have been sweet! but alas, I didn't get it.  So I've worked with Mikaela too many times to count and on this last go around she brought two of her friends so I could photograph all of them together.  Together they made quite the team.  I wish everyone was staying and that I could keep photographing all of them, but we never get what we want in life.  So Mikaela has moved away, Dante has joined a modeling agency, but Natasha is up for shooting. The hallways of life, one door closes, another opens.  I think that would make a pretty good fortune cookie saying.  So anyways, I'm looking forward to more shoots with Natasha and maybe even a few more with Mikaela when she comes back to visit.

 

Here are a couple more photographs of GenIsis.  The first one really shows off her head dress. She made it herself.

 

The Full Moon, so full of vibrance and mystery.  Just a reflection of sunlight, but changed completely.  Full Moon Shoots are all about balancing the light.  I'd say I'm about 70% there.  One day, I'll get all the way there.  On the very pleasant side, while it's hot and miserable in the valley, standing in cool water, away from the city, is very nice.  The shoot was with Emma, Heathyr, and Rachel.  I wasn't sure if it was going to work, but it came out much better than expected.

Beyond guardrails and barbed wire are beautiful places not a lot of people go.  Gen-Isis is the model.  She told me about this spot.  I've actually driven by it many times, but haven't photographed it.  I guess I got too used to the guard rails and fences and used them as an excuse to stay behind.  It was really beautiful out there.  A short drive out of the city, but just far enough that when the clouds and sunset came, the weather was beautiful.  I could have stayed there for hours.
