Description To learn about the photoshoot, please see this journal: [link]

The costume she is in is an old cheap Halloween costume I bought a few years ago. It's just chiffon with a little lining and some dye, really. But chiffon is absolutely gorgeous, and for a cheap costume it works amazingly well.

I LOVE this shot for the flowers, and the gentleness of it all. It's very serene, and it just seems to be a painting come to life. I really couldn't have asked for better... except maybe of my camera that was being a bit bratty.

Greek Goddess, Yaddo Gardens. Saratoga Springs, NY.

Anyone can be that pretty so long as they choose clothes that flatter them, use contouring makeup to help bring out their best features for the camera, and are posed in a flattering way with good lighting.

Oh......I have to confess that I simply adore stuff like this. It's definitely my cup of tea, and you both did such a fantastic job on this.

The spirit of romanticism definitely lives on in the joining of your imagination and artistry. Thanks so much.

I never would have considered my photography reminiscent of romanticism until you said that. But I do see it myself now too, thank you for letting me see through your eyes why my work is so beautiful. <3

Oh, dear, what a kind response. Thanks for seeing it through my eyes, and I'm very touched. You have a real knack for knowing what is beautiful and what is worth looking at. Those things are so essential for a visual artist.
