Mary and Darby are two beautiful sisters.  They modeled for us on our photo excursion up at Sky Mountain lodge.  They were at two separate stations, and then at the end of our shootout I got a few shots of them together.  Mary has a lovely demure grace and Darby has some serious moxie!           We really couldn’t have asked for better lighting.  The woods were absolutely stunning with the late afternoon sun filtering through them.  And what a great opportunity to shoot such a lovely model! Mary’s second outfit was a cute polka-dot dress reminiscent of the 50s.  She looked so elegant!     Darby was a little more difficult to shoot simply for want of light at her location, so I had to do significantly more editing on her photos.  I had a great time experimenting with photoshop actions to achieve this effect:     Darby’s second outfit was her beautiful ballet costume.  I loved the timeless effect converting the photos to black and white had on the tone of this mini shoot.         At the very end of the shoot, Darby and Mary’s mother wanted to get a few shots of the girls together.  Darby changed into a pretty blue dress and I had a blast photographing the two of them playing off each other.  Their personalities really came to...
