some more stuff...

Continuing on the new stuff -- here is Virginia. She is so versatile and so beautiful! She asked me to do a fruity lemon-lime theme, concentrating her makeup on the lovely yellows and greens that we would surround her in.

Originally, this shot started in an inflatable pool that Tom brought into the studio. Somehow we didn't think that (duh) the water coming from the hose to fill up the pool would be FREEZING cold. Virginia stuck a toe and was promptly squealing! I really didn't feel good about her laying in that, but she gamely laid down in the frigid water, while I desperately tried to keep the lemons and limes floating and framing her face. Needless to say, she was quickly turning blue before we could get a decent shot, so I wrapped her up in something warm and we decided to just try using the fruit laying on her and around her for effect. I think it came out beautifully!



Tom is incredible with capturing lovely angles and using soft lights. Thanks for another wonderful shoot buddy!

Another note about Virginia-- check this out!

She told me a few weeks ago she was contacted by the Tyra Banks Show and she had an appearance with Kim Kardashian! Apparently, they were looking for girls to launch her "Queen of the Kims" look alike contest :) So, because she bears such a strong resemblance to Kim, Virginia was flown out to NY and got a spot on the show! Virginia said that it was SO much fun, and that Tyra is even more incredibly beautiful in person. She also said, "Kim is SO tiny!! I was a head and more above her standing next to her!"
