the goswick girls
these beautiful women live on a working ranch, and on a college tour of california, stopped off in newport beach to meet me.
mothers and daughters are so inspiring for me to work with, probably because of the amazing relationship i have with my own mom. it really does seem like only a week ago that i was 16 years old and she was still trying to cuddle me on her lap...
these girls were super fun to work with, loved my ideas, (or pretended to) and most importantly, loved each other very much. it was plain to see.
as this guy came into my peripheral vision as i was shooting her in this spot, i thought-keep on coming, keep on coming...i LOVE capturing surfers in the background at the beach.
bikini shopping:
I'm first! I'm first! These are SO beautiful!! Now I wish my mom was coming to ours, but then she would drive me crazy! (PS I love this bridge spot quite a bit) :)

I LOVE the shot with the surfer in the background. Love the contrast between the young woman about to face the world, and the mature gentleman, who has probably been there, done that and is now laying back and having fun!

OMG! Gorgeous! All of them!

what GORGEOUS girls they are!! This looks like such a fun shoot, now i wish you could shoot my mother and i, altho she's VERY camera shy and would surely drive you bonkers ;)
Posted by: Jimaie | March 31, 2008 at 05:21 PM
SO beautiful. Makes me want to go home with them :) Do you use any actions? If so, will you share with us which ones?
Posted by: gitz | March 31, 2008 at 05:34 PM
arent they gorgeous girls???
they were completely too easy to work with.
gitz-i didnt use actions on this shoot-i just adjusted curves, levels, and color to taste.
