Oh, these are so striking! Her pretty red hair against the green moss…just beautiful.
August 19, 2008 @ 3:36 pmThese are gorgeous! I love her red hair against all the green mossiness. And the white dress really does the trick. Beautiful!

These are absolutely spectacular! I love the green, love the red hair, love the feeling of the forest–everything about them is just magical.

Your work is like walking into a storybook. So peaceful and vivid and rich. I swear I can hear birds chirping quietly in the distance.
This is mystical and amazing. Your images are soo smooth and fresh. I have read your threads on ILP and was wondering about the “background silkening” you once mentioned. Do you know where I could follow up with that?

August 26, 2008 @ 7:40 pmOh my goodness. These images are fabulous, the fifth image is breath taking. Excellent work.
August 27, 2008 @ 11:56 pmThese are some of the most beautiful simple images I have seen- your exposure is dead on and lovely.
