Katlyn traveled to Portland late last year with her modeling friend, Melissa Trout. We had an afternoon session of working with them together and doing a couple of sets separately. This is one image taken from a gallery of 50 pictures. Katlyn was a great model for this photo shoot. I set up the scene and told her a little bit about what I had in mind and she took off with it. The poses she came up with were amazing and beautiful! The lighting, sepia tone, and softening of the images really completed the feel for this photo set.

Working with Katlyn and Melissa was a lot of fun. I will be posting an image of one of Melissa’s photo sessions next. I look forward to working with both of them again in the future! Click the image a few times and it will open up to a larger size in your browser.

In June I took, and helped out with, my husband’s nude photography workshop. I took it last year too and it was so much fun I had to do it again. As last year I was just starting out shooting nudes, I really wanted to give it another go at this year’s workshop, now that I’m more experienced. We had three different professional models during the two days and three hours of shooting time with them, needless to say it was awesome! The models are all local professionals: Wolfpup, Cassandra Bryant, and Cindy Stamps.

There were about twelve photographers in the workshop. They were all really fun to work with, we were broken into teams of five or six to shoot with the models. Plus, everyone had the opportunity to create and direct a set with a model. For a lot of people this was the most challenging part of the workshop. It’s easy to just sit back and take pictures while someone else is directing and has the shoot all set up.

But, when you are the one that has to call the shots it can be very nerve racking! On the other hand, it is very rewarding when you create something, from your own vision, and it turns out great!

The picture above is one that I took of Wolfpup during one of my lead sessions. Photoshop really made it into something interesting and unique, which was part of the vision I had in mind while setting up this shoot. The space we had to work with for this workshop was great. It’s a nice little farm out in Wilsonville with just beautiful natural backdrops to shoot against. To see more from this workshop and some pictures of the other models, just click on the image!

This lovely lady is from AvErotica. I really liked this set of Olja playing in the trees. She makes some very funny and cute facial expressions, which adds to the set’s energy. It looks like she is having a lot of fun being in front of the camera and jumping around nude! I’m not sure if she is a brunette or a redhead, dark red I think.

Sandy is a real cutie from X-Art.com. This is a really pretty set that reminds me of beautiful North American Summers in the forest. This set is called Nymph and Sandy really does look like a mischievous forest creature! The contrast of the red-orange veil and the greens of the forest photograph nicely.

Here’s a Grace And Beauty model named Kiki. This set was photographed by Jay GreenMan a couple of winter’s ago. One of the things that I really like about working with GraceAndBeauty.com is the variety of models shown on the website. There are many different ethnicities and a broad range of looks with the models, but they are all attractive in their own unique ways. Click this photo of Kiki to see more pictures of her.

Natalie is a very beautiful model who works with Domai. This image is taken from a collection of her photos from different shoots, click the photo to see more. Natalie seems very comfortable and confident in her own skin. Her posing technique is really nice and natural. I picked this photo for my blog because it is beautifully photographed, with a great model and a great setting you just can’t go wrong!

I worked with Sarah Ellis, who’s from New York, in January of this year. She traveled out West on a modeling tour and my husband and I were lucky enough to book a shoot with her. She was really fun to work with and had a great personality. As you can see from the photo, her curvy build and exotic features are sensual and unique.

We worked with Sarah in our house; in the hallway, the dining room, and the back part of the house that was under construction at that time. We created a lot of different settings for the shoot, the diversity was great. Sarah put in 100% with her modeling skills and ability to take on the energy that was need for each setting, from sensual lace to power tools, she was so easy to work with. Needless to say the photos all came out wonderful!

Sarah has her degree in Biology, and when I met her she was working on her M.D. While going to school she took up professional figure modeling and it has worked out really well for her! I hope that she will be coming back this way this Summer or Fall because it would be great to get some outdoor shots with her. In the mean time, you can see her galleries on www.GraceAndBeauty.com! and for more of my own work check out my Model Mayhem page at www.ModelMayhem.com/jadzia
