Robin Mae under the Flowers (Patreon)

Some flowers last forever.  Some last for about 3.5 hours.

I felt a serious sense of urgency when the camellia started to bloom.  Nicole was out of town, the weather was hot, the clouds were gone, and I just really wanted to make a shoot happen before springs first flowers were gone.

Luckily Robin Mae came to the rescue, and despite the difficulty of the light we were able to create some photos that I just love.  Normally I shy away from sunshine, dappled light, and blown out highlights, but sometimes you just gotta embrace it, and see what you can do!
