The Beauty Unveiled

So every photographer has that one person that they love to shoot. You know, that person who inspires her, motivates her, and gives her incredible images. That person is my dear friend Donna. Donna Jeanne. She's absolutely stunning and knows. how. to. work. the. camera. She is the most dynamic person I know and it totally shows in her images. Her personality is unlike any other. Many people say how charismatic, spontaneous, and free-spirited I am. Well... I learned from the best. You must click on these images, enlarge them, and get the full effect.

Rene!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!! I think the best part of it all was getting to do a photo-shoot with such an upbeat, encouraging friend! After trying to capture you the way you captured me, I am even more in awe of your talent! Like I said, you've found your knack! Shoot the world, lady! If you ever want a tour through Ecuador for some AWESOME photo opportunities, please let me know!! Once again, I cannot even begin to express my appreciation for your time, your talent, your effort in doing this! The result was amazing... Love you!

Wow, Rene. I just read what you wrote! Are you kidding me? You had me WORK the camera!! I don't think I have ever had so much fun getting photographed by anyone...
If you ever need another model, please let me know! And next time, I'll come better equipped! haha!
You truly are talented. It is a god-given gift. I am so happy to see you utilizing it! I truly believe that it will only get better, and that opportunities will come knocking at your door... and you are going to change people through your lenses! Much love!! Keep up the PHENOMENAL work!

Rene!!

Incredible!! Where did you shoot these?!

I love the one second from the bottom....it's my fav of the ones you posted. :)

Nicole,

This shoot happened in Canon City! :) We shot down by the railroad station and also in some downtown alleys. And in a bar/restaurant.

I think my favorite series is either the 5th or 6th series from the bottom. The orange bandanna and funky poses OR the orange bandanna with the silhouettes.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Really. Y'all are so inspiring. Your motivation, support, encouragement, etc. means the world to me. It keeps me going. This shoot was a team effort. It's a prime example of what some eyeliner and lipstick and the right wardrobe can do.
