I was so stressed out that it wasn't sunset-y like the time before. With San Francisco weather, you never know if it'll be foggy/misty/cloudy (which it is 90% of the time) or sunny. And the weather was foggy, even though the forecast said it would be sunny.
Even so, I think the shots came out nice. Let me know what you think as this isn't my usual style!




It was a good chance for me to experiment with something other than glowy/backlit lighting. One of my goals is to be more versatile, so this was the perfect opportunity.
I am going to be shooting with Hanna so much more this summer, she is the perfect model :) I couldn't be happier to have found her.

They came out awesome. I think the fog adds another air of mystery. The model is also very pretty!
Great pics. I especially love the second one. =)
Love these! Especially the last oe where she's running. And that truly is a ridiculously cute skirt I want one! xo

Not too sure about the first one. (I almost feel rude saying this because everyone else is so laudatory - but an opinion is supposed to be expressed) It's a bit flat and doesn't show her best angles compared to the other pictures. The other photographs are absolutely gorgeous, especially the last one. Good model, good photographer and great photographs.

goodness gracious these are lovely. i'm glad it was foggy out :)
that last photo belongs in a magazine. my goodness. i hope this doesn't weird, but i would love a big print of that hanging on my wall - it's so dreamy!
thanks for sharing with us. <3
i like the composition of the third one(sitting on rock) and the last one(running).
the first one would be nicer if increase a little more brightness:] afterall, it is a great capture of the moment, very soft and innocent like:]
about the one lying down, i think it needs a lil more contrast, if you use Adobe lightroom, try turning up the fill light? just guessing:]
but very great and good job getting out of your comfort zone!:] I need to do that too and for me it would mean gettin a model.:}
i just updated a few posts on my blog, FOOD PORN this time lol. come check it out :]

LOVE #2. It's so perfect.
these are all so amazing!
great work :-)
I'm loving the misty and dreamy quality of them. You should feel good about these pics.
@Neon Enlightenment: Thank you for your opinion, I'm not in the least bit offended :)
I hemmed and hawed at the first photo, actually, but now I kind of like it. It's a bit of an acquired taste for me haha :) The more I look at it, the more I like it! Glad you like the other photos, though. Funny, you liked the ones I didn't like that much ;)
@est. =]: Thanks for the suggestion, I actually did try brightening the photo up, but it didn't look right :( Glad you like the other photos! I'll check out yours too :)
I really like these.
Can I ask how you edited them? I really like the tones and the colours.
Great work :)

@The Velvet Bow: Thank you! Yes, of course :) I boosted up contrast in photoshop, did curves to push the colors, and color balance. I never do much photoshop, it's not really a secret!
you are so cool.
i absolutly love these.
well done, what a beautiful location and model!

Oh girlie, the last image is my favourite, I love and adore the movement, her focus to the right, the atmosphere is utterly gorgeous. It's like the last scene in a dramatic film. You're going to be a top photographer one day xoxo
these photos are incredible!
These are beautiful. Ive been following you for a little while now and I can see you growing in your skills. This is definitely your style. I am so impressed you are only 16, I wish I was organising models and taking great photos when I was 16! x

i like number #2 and #4!! #2 is soft and dreamy and #4 looks like fashion catalogue :)
These photos are gorgeous. Yes, sunshine-y days might be the best, but I think the cloudiness and fog were perfect for this shoot. The grey day really makes the model stand out.
the second and fourth shots are mesmerisingly beautiful. seriously.
the last one is beautiful! xx
You did a great job!
The details of her skirt with the crashing waves in the background on the last one are so complimentary of each other. These are fantastic!
I adore the last one!
So, so, so beautiful!!
I think these photos are beautiful! I like the second one and the last one the most.
That beach looks amazing. I'm in the city and it's grey and rainy at the moment! Ugh, grim.

Talented Photographer, not the best model. She's rough/masculine looking, which can work with other styles of photography but not if you are aiming for a light romantic feel.
@Anonymous: Thank you! I think she is very edgy looking, but still pulls off the romantic look well. I don't have many model contacts and I am just happy to have her to work with. I'm going to try other styles of photography with her in the future, so maybe you will like that more?
These are so amazing.
I love them all, especially the last one where she is running.
These are amazing. :-) Wonderful work!
In terms of your photography they're great!! The one laying down and the one running are PERFECT! :D great job!
Absolutely Beautiful.
The first pictures looks almost like a picture i did.
