Rays of sun splash through sunflowers and dappled light spreads its warm glow through salty ocean spray as I capture my dear friend and Muse’s form. But there is something different about her. She is softer, more reflective, deeper in spirit than I have ever known her to be. The one thing that has not changed is her deep beauty and naturally powerful presence that is now heightened by impending motherhood. She carries it well and has never been more beautiful. I tease her and say her “little fish” is kicking to come out and play in the sea. For the rest of our visit together playing in streams and forests, past prime sunflower fields, salty seas and grass crowned dunes, I admire the changes in the landscape of her form, and, most importantly, what has not changed – her power in front of the camera, joie de vivre and mischievous smile as she awaits her child’s debut in December. She has just started to really show and I was honored to share this time and share these images as some of the first of her pregnancy. I believe she will be doing a brief modeling tour for those interested in capturing this special time in this extraordinary woman’s life.
This is a sampling from the sets that we did in some mountain streams and sunflower fields in New Jersey and on a Long Island beach. We came back from the sunflower field with a pod. Being her usual creative self, she adapted corn husks shed from our dinner’s roasting ears and the sunflower pod to come up with a funky headdress that we shot in studio. A friend let use borrow some goregous sari’s that we took advantage of in the lushness of a seaside community. I’ll share more later as I focus on each set.
Much blessings and love to Vassanta and Edward as they start their new family, and thanks for sharing the moment.
