Through the Viewfinder
January 7, 2010
The day of our shoot quickly went from partly sunny to overcast, especially the closer we got to the beach. With a slight chance of rain, the clouds began rolling in, creating a gorgeous, foggy backdrop. The soft, hazy mountains in the background remind me of Asian brush paintings. Beautiful. And I love how the images have a quiet, subdued feeling to them. Natural lighting is where it’s at. We are so grateful for Raya’s time and talent, and are thrilled at how these turned out!
