I love it when a plan comes together....

It has been a number of weeks since I had a "pretty girl" shoot, and this girl, Felicia, and I have only shot together once before - and it was no bueno.

So I had this idea, and I figured, "Felicia would be perfect for this. I'll pitch it to her." She was all about it!

We scheduled for today (Friday) at 10am. She was relatively on time. My lights were already set up and metered. I just needed to do a bit of tweaking.

Then the fun began. The chocolate syrup began to rain, and soon she was covered.

Less than 30 minutes later, we were done, and I had some sexy and messy shots.

The lesson learned here - it is much easier and much more creatively fulfilling to have an idea and then find the model for it instead of finding a model and hoping to come up with ideas for her.

Felicia was perfect for the shoot. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. She hit the poses, played with the mess, and was just fun to shoot.

I feel revitalized and recharged.
