Mercy in the Field - Part 2

Mercy brought her sketch book and doodled.  She doodled and doodled and true to her own inner dreams she drew a beautiful mermaid with the cutest hair. She wrote a poem about a romantic swim underneath the sea, she's full of romance and whimsey, easy laughter and dreams.

She read us the poem, "Swimming beneath the sea, nothing but you and me.  Casually drifting with the current..."  You get the impression that her head is full of notions of the glittering ocean, big puffy clouds, pretty dresses, songsters and lingering lovers. Who knows, I never asked, but I like imagining what goes on in her pretty little head.  I prefer the fancy notions I impose, than getting the facts right.  I'm sure she doesn't mind my colorful imagination because she has a similliar spirit.

Who knows what she's thinking; her next dive beneath the waves, a sunrise on the rocks, learning how to tame her new skate board?  It doesn't matter what's going on in that head. She's food for foder.  She feeds the creative juices.  She's a muse.   One doesn't learn how to be a muse, one simply is.

I think it's divinely curious that two different photographers found her.  Two people who didn't know each other saw the magic --- she wasn't trying to impress.  She's not that type.  She walks to her own inner beat, happy and content with her own path.  That photographers come along and snatch her up I suppose is fun for her, but I don't think she really cares, which makes her all the more alluring.

Thank you Mercy.  You are a beautiful muse.  Thank you for feeding my soul, causing me to ponder about my next shoot.  What will I shoot?  Where?  Oh, wait.  We shot you again at the beach yesterday, haha.  Yes, more Mercy coming up tomorrow!

Mercy in the Field - Part 1

Earlier this week we invited model Mercy Clark to join us in Palm City for a shoot in the woods, or at least what we call 'woods' in Florida.  We wandered around a cow pasture, climbed fences, romped through the field, rolled in the hay and gazed at the clouds.

Mercy knows exactly how to keep a couple photographers busy.  All she did was sit, stand, laugh, gaze, twirl, dance...another words anything and everything she did was utterly camera ready.  She had us on full alert for the entire shoot and we came home with more material than we knew what to do with.

You see what I mean?  Everything is a picture with Mercy.  Everything.  See Part 2 where she puts on white lace, writes a poem and charms the world.  Be sure to see the video too!
