I really enjoy working with wives that love to seduce their husbands... that is my favorite... This is Kendra's anniversary gift for her hubby... I bet he likes it.
It was really fun to see Kendra transition from rather uncomforable and stiff to playfull and coming up with her own poses towards the end. We had lots of fun, but I really have to fight that "I can't believe I am asking you to do this, but...." feeling.

There aren't any restrictions on these photos this time (thank goodness) so they will stay up in the thread forever... (Sorry about that last time, but what could I do?)
C & C always appreciated. :lust

I think 3, 9 & 11 are my favorites, but I love them all (just not sure about the "distortion" in #2). Very, very pretty. And I love the locations you chose!
Wonderful as always!
As to 2... I was trying SO hard to copy you with that shot that you always rock the world with. Distortion around the edges with my new 24-70 is quite a bit more of a problem than expected. But it is still a pretty great and sharp lens, but I have come up against it a lot more than with my 24-105. Any chance you would share your lens of choice and settings when you pull out that shot?
Hm, I wonder why it got distorted like this. I must shoot a bit higher up maybe? Or are you thinking of one of the shots where her head is leaning over the edge of the bed?
I used my 24-70 for all my pics (ok, used my macro for a couple eye lashes photos too), but other than that no secrets here (probably shot it at 2.8, but I guess that depends on the light I had that day) ... might be just the angle/height & maybe distance to the subject?
It's a nice photo, so ... it's not that you did anything wrong ... Just not the angle *I* am used to shoot from, I guess?
Here is another angle and the forehead distortion is way better, but it is still the closest to the lens. I like the ring in it, but it isn't a bod shot for sure.
Oh, that one I think is a bit better ... only thing that bothers me here is that you don't see her other boob (I'm being picky, sorry
Actually it was whacked off in between the two shots. So there wasn't one there to shoot.

I know it's difficult to both start a new venture AND work with an inexperienced subject. Also, considering both of you are females, it may be challenging to simulate man's/hubby's point of view on these things.
In any case, it seems that both of you were trying too hard. Shoots like this should be 100% fun, 0% pressure (and FWIW, a glass or two of bubbly will go a long way - for her, not for you).

Never thought about pushing a drink or two..... hmmm. I'll have to consider that if I ever do another of these. I do have to point out that the processing load is way heavier with that much more skin showing. Sheesh.
FWIW, about her expression... we (I) did try to pull something other than a pretty smile or no expression out of her... she just didn't really jive with it...
She must have gotten what she wanted since she did place a really nice, really large order.
So as some general impressions, the expressions are blandish for the most part as has been said. I assumed that she was a little chubby until pic #9 because you were hiding that amazing body for so much of it. Not to say those shots should have been different necessarily, but you could have focused more on her body as a whole because it is so nice. The first shot, with the wrap, is heart breaking for me because a use of a wrap like that is to hide something. I understand the 1/2 dressed mistique but imho you could have used it far better. I love #2 and have no problems with the distortion. That is what WA is supposed to look like in my mind! If you don't want the WA distortion, you can shoot at 50mm or correct the perspective in post, but that is a great shot in my mind. 4,5,6,7 I would have liked to have seen shot a bit wider. The tub and bubbles are a bit ambiguous, and a little contrast from the tile or maybe some candles or something would have been better to my eye. Same with the atv... It isn't a commonly discernible item, so without showing a little bit more of it it just leaves me wondering what it is. Maybe you shot like I am asking but didn't show us those... 9,10,11 don't really do it for me... I could stare at her butt in 9 all day long, but the background isn't really fitting to the pose/outfit and neither is the sided wall.
as I said Heather I can't be at all critical about any of the technical aspecs... I like your gorgeouse soft lighting, and most of your comps are great... I feel like I am being too negative since your photography was awesome, but these are certainly missing on some level even if was in ways that weren't directly in your control, so I'm sorry if this sounds harsh. I doubt I could have gotten more out of your model, actually I am pretty sure I couldn't have. I am a simple spectator on this side of the forum! so understand where my $.02 comes from.
