All four of the photos are lovely. Of course, photography is something that you take seriously, so it would be foolish of me to pretend that they are perfect. You must be your own judge of perfection, as the artist. But even with the difficulties you describe, the one of you does shine, and the contrast of colors is beautiful, and -- of course -- your outfit is absolutely stunning. I can only imagine what the full set would look like had you not had any difficulties.

I am sure it is a tremendous challenge to accomplish shots like this on your own. Here's an idea: the forest in your pictures looks a lot like the one behind my house. Why don't you come over here and I'll be your photography assistant?

Thanks again smc,

It's been trying, really trying for this photoshoot. i've learned a lot from it and how to prepare now. But i will try again, of course weather permitting.
