The Black Sheep

I met Shaun earlier on in my photography career here in Austin.  We met the first time at an event one of our mutual friends was having about 6 years ago, where I was also showing some of my work.  I very clearly remember her amazingly outgoing spirit and personality.  We chatted that night about planning a shoot.  We lost contact, got back in contact and on and on for the next 6 years.  Finally things worked out with our schedules and we set a date.  Of course on that evening, the plans started unraveling by things out of our control.  We put our heads together and made the shoot still happen that evening.

I always wanted to shoot Shaun a little bit differently than her outstanding portfolio.  Instead of her more traditional glamour work, I really wanted to push her in the direction of being photographed and posed like an art model.  Here are some of the images from this shoot.
