This set has to be in my top favorite of all time. I believe this was my second time shooting with Molly; we initially met and worked together in New Orleans and then we found each other in St. Louis at the same time. Her work has grown so much even though she was already killing it here. I'm at that age where I'm beginning to meet artists younger than me that are talented and blowing it out of the water. It's good to be reminded, though, of learning and perspective through younger eyes. 

I bought this lovely crocheted lingerie/swimsuit when I was in Philadelphia for the first time. It was an impulse buy. We were just walking down the sidewalk in some random part of the city and this lovely little boutique called to me. Couldn't turn it down. I don't wear it much, but I think it truly had its spotlight moment during this shoot, which was also my first time modeling it.

I wonder what this spot looks like now. Maybe I'll revisit it some day. If I lived nearby, I could have spent hours here, just reading under the crawling spiraling vines. I can't remember what this structure was...maybe a church long ago...? But it was breathtaking and memorable.
