Chanel in the Park

Fall has arrived in Central Texas.  The mornings are cooler, and there’s less humidity.  The time for sweaters and boots is fast approaching, and I am here for it.  Experiencing some semblance of fall weather is one of the things that I enjoy about living in here.  I’ve been able to wear sweaters and boots longer.  However, with COVID-19 still prevalent, I don’t know if I’ll have the opportunity to wear those items.

The morning of this session was perfect!  There was a slight mist in the air and dew on the grass.  There was also a slight nip in the air.  The temperature was in the 60’s, but I was cold!  LOL!  I guess that Arizona is still in my blood.  The location of the session was Old Settler’s Park in Round Rock.  I scouted the location two weeks before the session, and I knew that it would be perfect.  I rented the Chanel dress from Lael Rentals for the session.  I found my model, Calebrahttps://instagram.com/calebra_monet?igshid=1uhzy0l318g3j, in one of my local Facebook groups.  The concept for the session was a Vogue-like feel.  The flowy dress was the perfect contrast for the buildings and old farm equipment.  

Calebra and I had the place to ourselves for the session.  We started shooting in front of the Palm Mansion, and then moved to an area with the cabins.  I used my Godox AD200 with a modifier for most of the shoot, but there were images where I utilized the sun.  Calebra was a pleasure to shoot, and didn’t need a lot of direction.  She’s an established model, and was signed with Wilhelmina models.  I was her first session in 7 months!

 

Here’s to the fall weather, and a successful completion of “Chanel in the Park”!
