Cacia Zoo and I don't even have to speak when we shoot anymore.  We head off toward a location and the instant i see something I like and pull my bag from my shoulder, Cacia responds intuitively and begins disrobing as she searches the environment scheming how she can use it.  She knows what she wants to do, she knows what I need, I try to find interesting angles given what I think she will do.

For me, this part of the shoot was just getting her in some wildflowers - its kind of a trope to shoot images of women nude, partially obscured by out of focus wildflowers. I see it all the time, and I like it despite it being done many times, but until the last few years I had never even tried it, and so I have been trying to catch up.  Despite shooting Cacia dozens of times over the last 6 years i had never done it with her.  So when we were driving up the Angeles Crest Highway and I saw those abundant yellow flowers everywhere in the mountains, I knew this was my chance.   

By the way, this set is named after these yellow flowers, called Spanish Broom. They are actually an invasive species and should not be in California, and are overrunning the flora of the local mountains outside Los Angeles. Usually that kind of thing is so sad to me, but these plants make such abundant, vivid flowers that smell intensely sweet and make the hiking trails a better experience in the spring and early summer here, so I give them a partial pass.  covered in huge dew drops from all the mist in the air, the flowers made for a really nice environment to capture images of my friend.
