Christie

On Friday I headed north to Fort Collins for a very colorful shoot. From the greens and yellows of the trees to the blue of Christie's eyes, it would have been pretty hard to take a bad picture, so luckily I came away with some amazing photos.

The morning started out a little cold, so we had to take a few breaks just to warm up at the beginning, but eventually the sun warmed up and we really hit our rhythm. Christie was a good sport, climbing on logs, walking through a bunch of tall dead grass and even sinking into some swampy ground, all while wearing heels! Her constant smile (at least when we weren't taking photos) and pleasant conversation helped to make the cold more bearable.

The features that really stand out about Christie are here eyes and freckles. She told me that one photographer edited out all of her freckles in the photos he took of her, so I made sure to get some great shots of her face, freckles and all. Looking at the photos, though, it should be obvious that you'd have to be crazy to not take a few good photos of her face. She's got some of the most amazing blue eyes I've ever seen!

Towards the end of the shoot, things always start to get a little relaxed and goofy. We were by a lake and she was saying that she'd love to catch a duck and get some photos with it. We weren't able to get close enough to any ducks this time, but maybe next time we'll find a feathery friend for Christie to pose with!
