Le Mode - Ly

I just have to put it out there. I do. Just bear with me, okay? You ready for the sentimental girly me to come out? Yeah, me either, but here we go anyway... I'm so lucky. I mean, I truly am. I had a dream (<--oops not to steal from Martin Luther King, Jr. the great, but I really did have a dream). With the help of some very patient friends and family it has become a reality. I get to pick up my camera and take photographs of beautiful people and capture beautiful moments and it's just plain beautiful. I wonder how many times I can use beautiful in this post...

Ly came to me after she saw some pictures I had shot for her beautiful friend. She wanted to update her modeling portfolio with a more contemporary look that also had a beautiful vintage-y feel. Make sense? Modern, but vintage. Yep. Beautiful. Is it getting ridiculous yet? Beautiful.

We could not have chosen a more beautiful (okay that one was necessary) day up in North Lake Tahoe. It was a clear, sunny and yes...beautiful day with mounds of snow everywhere! Ly was ready to work it! We shot for almost an entire day, only stopping briefly to restore energy at lunch time. :) As a model, she really was up for anything...bikini in the snow? Check. Lay down on snowy steps in a bikini? Check. Walk around Northstar resort in teeny shorts and heels while people stare and look at us like we're crazy? Check, check, check! You are amazing Ly! I hope you love your images as much as I do!

Did I mention that Ly has a beautiful 16 month old daughter as well? Oh lordy, if only all women were that lucky! Ly, it was such a pleasure to work with you and I had a blast that beautiful day up in Tahoe! Kiss that baby girl for me!
