Chasing the Sun with Hannah Jane...

It was an amazing afternoon and sunset...

Hannah was so sweet to accept my request for an afternoon sunset photoshoot... we were trying to create a folky, earthy feel. The afternoon went along the lines of... "be Julia, you are Julia... " as in trying to exude an Angus and Julia Stone feel... well without the Angus... just Julia.

Hannah was so amazing she was prepared to lie on the grass... stand amongst the weeds, despite that there might have been snakes... :)

A technical skill I was trying hone was sun flare and placing the subject in front of the sun. The shots went something like... "move two steps forward Hannah... ok... back one... move up one... or too much... ahhh the sun is going down fast! Grow taller... be shorter... move left... NO my left!"  So um... thanks Hannah!!!!

I think they worked out well...

When the sun sets... it goes quick, we practically had 5 minutes to take these shots! We were practically chasing the sun!

All in all, it was what I thought a successful afternoon. To add pressure, Hannah's parents are both professional photographers... 

Thanks Hannah, I could not have done this without you.
