[ THE DRIFTER and the GYPSY ]: Butterfly kisses

Butterfly kisses

Friday, July 16, 2010

On Saturday, I had a photoshoot with Lindsey, a model from Chicago who was visiting San Francisco last week. We headed out to a trail on the coast and stumbled upon the most delightful flower field.

Unfortunately, the shoot in the flower field was short-lived because I walked into a bee's nest in the ground and got stung five times! Ouch!

Lindsey brought this amazingly cute butterfly hairpin that matched perfectly with the mood of the shoot.

And despite the unfortunate bee encounter, I really like how the photos came out. Lindsey has a very unique, romantic look that I am so in love with. asdjfaksjda;klj.

And I'm horrifically allergic to wasp stings, so I can't imagine how painful it must've been to be stung five times - by bees!! Hope you're feeling a bit better now (:
