My Muse

So, my sister, is gorgeous. Which comes in really handy as a photographer. And I realize now how spoiled I was living so close to her. Having her around the corner to model for me - to allow my creative juices to flow. Now that I'm in Reno, I can't just call her up, and beg her to indulge in my obsession. Which is a burn out. So, imagine my joy having her here for 4 full days. I took advantage of her in every sense I could. Portrait, Boudoir, Engagement. I soaked as much beauty from her as I could before she had to head back to Southern California.

It was during this time that I made a discovery. My sister is my muse. She helps to inspire ideas. She makes me go wow. To see a whole new world through my lens. With her in front of the camera, I'm excited. It's funny, because before this, I would have assumed my kids would be my muses - but they move too quickly. A clear shot is pure luck. A clear shot in amazing light with a smile...that's a one in a million chance. But, my sister. She listens, she shares, she becomes a part of the creative process and allows me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. She sits still :)

I'm lucky. Because not only is my sister beautiful on the outside, but her inner beauty matches the exterior - which makes for one phenomenal woman.
