As promised, I finally got around to organizing a small creative team and executing this concept that's been festering in my mind for months :) Along with Christine Rose, a fellow photographer and Cara, a talented make up artist, the shoot was pretty successful.
I cast 2 lovely models, Crystal Eckstadt and Amber Coyle as Anne Boleyn and Mary Boleyn, respectively.
We took the trip down to Miami, ready to shoot as Vizcaya, where I shot with Cristina Morales..we were running pretty behnd schedule and it got even worse when it began to pour! Just my luck. Even still, we were able to get some makeup done in the back of Christine's car.


Knowing the place closed at 5:30, we attempted to get in at 4:45 and they wouldn't let us :( So all looked pretty doomed and we were all pretty bummed, especially the poor models who were swimming in heavy costumes 5 times their size in the hot and humid air. But we managed to shoot a few shots of Amber in the area around the parking lot while Crystal was getting ready. Here's my favorite:

Jesus, the mosquitoes were insufferable! But they always are. Thank god for repellent.
So after that, we drove aorund for somewhere else to shoot, with the sun sinking, I was getting pretty anxious but Christine is a genius and we stubled upon this beautiful old church, with a yard and everything..so we stopped there :)
