Alright... story time. I hate snakes. Like, I really dislike them. I'm not too huge of a fan of bugs, either. In fact, I'm definitely more at home in a city than I am out in nature (not to say I don't appreciate it). Whenever a senior I photograph requests the field look, my aversion to bugs and other creepy-crawlies gets forgotten temporarily because I think that field photos are classic, elegant, and timeless, and I love taking that style of photo! BUT... occasionally the novelty of field shoots gets shoved aside and I remember why I am scared of them in the first place. This shoot would classify as one of those occasions. Let it be known that Sabina and I faced the WHOLE NINE YARDS for creepy-crawlies when we were out in that field! Bees, horseflies, mosquitoes, and a SNAKE. Yes, a snake. But, together we held it together and put our fears aside and stayed out in the field and captured some amazing photos. Sabina looked like a total angel, for real. 100% worth it.
Sabina, you are absolutely darling. This felt so much more like a friend hang-out then a senior shoot!! You even helped me face the fact that I am probably addicted to caffeine when I said I was going to get some coffee after our shoot haha. But I didn't!! A step in the right direction!!) I'm so inspired by how wanderlust you are and all your plans to travel the world and experience life in different cultures and cities across the globe. You are wise beyond your years and it'll be fascinating to see what it is you decide to do after graduation. The possibilities are endless for you!
Thank you again for letting me capture your beauty. You are remarkably stunning!
