Chicks with Bows - Mariah

Chicks with Bows is a series we plan on working on over the next couple months.  We'll be capturing girls wearing bows in different ways.  This look started with model, Sami Annie - see her shoot here (http://beautyandthebeachphotography.blogspot.com/2011/08/sami-pink-bow-post.html) over a year ago and was such a hit we decided to explore it further.

So I invited my niece, Mariah, to pose for a revisit to our original shoot.  The look we went for was very very Pretty Muse, girlie and fun and beauty.

With the sun dipping off the horizon and the wind kicking up we only had a short window of time before our light would be gone.  Since we shoot mostly natural light mother nature dictates so much of what and how we shoot.  But Mariah, unruffled by the time and light, wind or weather got into her zone and leisurely hit pose after pose.

Ok, I think this one is my favorite.  This is an OMG shot for sure.

Mariah, thank you again.  I always love it when you come to visit.  I love that we get our creative juices flowing and simply MUST shoot and shoot and shoot some more. I love shooting you because each time I shoot you I meet another persona, you go away and disappear behind a mask of another character and then come back again.
