The previous image of Dianne and this one are the two keepers I got from 16 images, all taken in about 5 minutes. We had just stepped off the elevator at our hotel when I saw the window light and asked her to let me take some shots. I really try not to infringe on any of my crew members but this was one of those times when I was excited about the light. I also wanted the session to be short as we had just finished eating BBQ and both of us needed quiet time after several hours of noise.
Today is packing day and cleaning up the apartment. Hope to leave in the morning for my drive back to Colorado. Hope everyone has a great week!

Beautiful model and beautiful light! Have a safe trip Monte. How long is the drive?
Monte Stevens
Yes, she is a lovely young lady and a good flight attendant. It’s a good two days of drive time, so I hope to get in to Loveland on Tuesday evening. We’ll see how the weather affects that schedule. 🙂

Looks like you and I are having much the same kind of day. Have a safe journey Monte — hope your move goes well.
Monte Stevens
Yes, good luck with everything, Paul. I’ve got everything in the car so all I need is a good nights rest, grab a coffee on the way to the interstate and va voom!

I hope you have a safe trip with no unpleasant surprises, Monte.
Monte Stevens
I see there could be some snow on the way. If so I’ll park it and wait it out.

That light did work out very well. Good eye, Monte. The photograph is stunning. I like smiles. They seem to be out of fashion these days. The way the light and shadows work in this image make it look like you staged it all in a studio. Well done.
Monte Stevens
Thanks, David. I also enjoy the smiles and this young lady offered them all the time. 🙂

I love the lighting, as well as the absence of color–and her beautiful smile, of course. So nicely done.
Monte Stevens
Yes, she always had a smile. Thanks, Mary Ann. Hope you’re staying warm!

Happy trails, my friend. Also, who could resist a bit of window light and a beautiful model. Not me!
Monte Stevens
You and I think a like, Paul!
