This project was all the brain child of Camille. She called me and asked if I would help her out on an art project - but she said I couldn't call her crazy (which she's not), I listened to her idea and I thought it sounded wonderful! She had those fabulous angel wings and her mom had just given her the nightgown and it all just came to her. She wanted to do it on the full moon in the morning and at night (to see the moon of course!). We were a little apprehensive that the light wouldn't be what she wanted in the morning because I couldn't do it before 9am, which it wasn't 100%, but I love how the back lit images came out! They just glow. I think they came out better than if it had been earlier with flatter light.
Camille found the swing while she was walking her dogs near Sloan's Lake, went up asked the owner if she could use it and they graciously said go ahead. It was the perfect swing for these pictures (and so much fun to swing on!) And great entertainment for the neighbors, one person driving by actually stopped and took some pictures too.
Here are the night-time shots, I was really bummed. I had pictured her bathed in the sunset light with a huge moon rising behind her - it looks fabulous in my head. But there were too many clouds and trees for the sunset light and too many clouds on the horizon to see the big moon. So we had to wait until the moon peaked through the clouds to get anything. I even tried adding a sunset like filter in Photoshop, but the images are too blue for the warmer color.
I love this image. I think I may add some lights or stars on either side of her.
We did some in her back yard and by then the moon was above the clouds and we got the best shots!
I love the crown she made herself! It's made out of Marigold's. The orange is just stunning!
