Description + Last Sunday, Jensey and I had a blast running around Winter Park with Jamie & Stephen. We started at some botanical gardens (pictured here) and then ended up along Park Ave. They were so awesome in front of the camera; so natural and happy! It's a shame we're already booked on their date, though. (6/7/8!)

+ I know you've seen it before, but Jensey and I love working with fountains! So...too bad!

+ The square cropping was necessary to hide my poor framing job. There was just too much blank space to the left. Oh well.

+ Edits: Our normal color popping. Tweaked Kevin Kubota's "Lord of the Rings" action to get the glowy look.

+ Enjoy!

Did you have to pay the 200 dollar fee to bring your camera in?
I am interested in taking photos there and as I'm only 17, I'm wondering if they would make me pay the fee for photographers if I wanted to bring my Canon XSi.

They don't charge anything to simply bring a camera in; people enjoy taking photos of the gardens all the time. I believe they charge if you decide to conduct any large sessions there that might conflict with other people.

Hello my name is Deborah MacDonald and I am the author of a book entitled Truth or Dare. Recently I began working on a book trailer that I could place on Youtube to promote the book. It is becoming more and more common for authors and publisher to use this method. Even Stephen King has done it with one of his more recent works entitled Duma Key.
Recently, I encountered the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence Winner 2007 for Best Long Contemporary Romance Trailer A Storm\'s Coming (it has a good number of views at 147,771), but I thought that I could do better. And with your help I know I can.
Here is the link to her work on youtube:
[link]
You see I created a trailer to submit to the contest and it features one of your photos. I found your work so visually descriptive that I couldn’t help but choose it from the many thousands of photos that I looked at on Deviant Art. Of course I would never use your work without your permission, and I am hoping that you grant it.
Please keep in mind that I will give you proper credit by listing your name or studio, the title of the work, and a way to contact you (either a email address or a website address or even just a link for your work on deviant art) to find out how to purchase your work or book you for a shoot.
The reason I think that I can best showcase your talent is two fold:
Firstly, I believe that I have done such a good job with the trailer that I am the 2009 winner of the Best Contemporary Romance Trailer.
Secondly, I have been negotiating with a major talent for permission to use a song that will garnish many more hits than hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions. So expect if you allow me to use your work to be getting a great deal of attention. If you have your print available for purchase the more the better, if not; than, I suggest you consider doing so, perhaps we can all profit by the use of our combined talents.
I firmly believe that we artistic types should stick together.
Cheers,
D.A. MacDonald
Author Truth or Dare
PS
I can send you a copy of the trailer so that you can see that your work is being tastefully represented. Should you wish to see it, simply contact me on Deviantart with an email address to send it to you?

I do NOT grant permission for this photo to be reproduced. Thank you for asking, but I'd prefer it not be used anywhere outside of my control.

This is my favorite of the three from their shoot And they do look so natural and happy in front of the camera, really makes for sweet pictures

I love how the fountain is in focus and the soft focus on the background with them, it's a very nice effect!
