She's just a wild and crazy girl... :-)

Seriously. She said "hey, I can jump" and I'm like ... okay, prove it. So she goes down a ways so that she can get a running start and ... WOW!!! That's a lot of air under such a heavy dress. I was completely amazed.

Secret location: Just west of the "Secret Garden" at Thanksgiving Point (large gardens).

One caution: We were almost locked inside the gardens because of that picture!

I had that that we had until (I think it was) 9pm to get out. And instead they closed an hour before. But I wanted "sunset light" for several of my pictures and this was the final picture I took before we started heading back to the gate.

That's when we discovered that everything was locked. We had to find a side exit (thru dirt) to get out. And as we did that, we discovered the security guard was about to lock up the parking area. At which point we would really have been screwed.

Maybe a little heavy on the eye pimping. A touch more would be too much. Otherwise, a very nice portrait.

No, nothing special at all on this one. No reflector, I don't think I even used flash here. The "lighting effect" you see is more because of the vignette I put around the edges - done in Lightroom, btw.

And I'd love to work with a makeup artist, but I don't have any customers that rich. :-)
