Thank you to Camilla Binks of Camilla Photography for this week’s Blurprints. I asked her the story about the model and these beautiful pictures and here is what she said, “This is my beloved sister, Noel.  Isn’t she gorgeous!?!?  She is a mother of two with her youngest being just 5 months old.  I was walking through a pumpkin patch with my little ones the other day and saw these amazing empty greenhouses that just looked like a big huge softbox with this gorgeous diffused light pouring through.  It called to me so I decided I needed to do a quick little shoot there that week for me.  After looking through the portfolios of a bunch of lovely young, single models, I realized that my sister would be even more perfect for this shoot than any of these models.  Just goes to show that a mother of two can still work it like an 18 year old!  I love that!”

I love the lessons here.  You can be beautiful and glow even after children – and that sometimes we should shoot “just because” and for ourselves to just enjoy the experience and see our own artist vision with no expectations from customers.

Here are 4 Blueprints Camilla did from her “fun” shoot.
