I second Kay's comment about the black and white image with the scarf. Incredible! Beautiful girl and beautiful session!
these are all fantastic but i literally gasped when i saw the 6th to last shot - the black and white with the scarf on her head. unbelievable!
& yes, her freckles are pretty awesome.
My goodness. I would FLIP OUT with all those amazing locations to shoot.... fantastic, beautiful work Sarah.
great shots and natural poses! i definitely think shooting is an energizer - something about getting out there and experiencing more that's very refreshing.
What a really fun session. So many unique locations, really cool. And the freckles are over the top :)
I just adore your model shoots and these images are amazing! I especially love the shot with scarf and all those gorgeous rings. You guys just rock....like all the time! ; )
Those are beautiful photographs! :) Your blog is tremendous inspiration for me. I love your photos, your words, and your style!
HOLY CRAP!!!! Love it sooooo much! seriously love the poses and the skin tones! great eye once again. we have to learn about this "test" stuff you speak of and how we can do it here in Nashville. Rock on.
gorgeous work Sarah!!!! the black&white one with the scarf over her head phwoarrr :)
Shes got the hole LILO thing happening. I love her freckles too
I LOVE this!! Maybe it's because my family is from Greece!!
I love your eyeballs. They capture the moments worth remembering, like in a dream.
thank you for the words of wisdom in this post! :)
Nicely done, Sarah and Chris! Beautiful work.
Incredibly beautiful! Love the quality of light. You create such magical images.
I love every single one! Agreed about burn-out and personal shoots. I'm going out on a personal shoot tonight!
You bring so much movement and life to your imagery. You and your work are the antithesis of stagnant...the antithesis of burn out.
These are stunning Sarah & Chris!! The one with the scarf over her head....hello amazingness!
I love and love this!! You're spot on about her freckles, they add a wonderful uniqueness to the whole shoot! As always, I'm inspired by your shots, and by your words as well! Time to go have some fun!
really inspiring and fun! and I completely agree on when you feel burnt out to go shoot some more and be crazy outgoing creative with it for spunk and excitement. It gets me back into the game
You make a really good point... curing burnout by doing the exact thing we think we shouldn't. I need to make time to shoot for myself more often. These images are naturally beautiful and so real. love.
Your model.. she's awesome. Thanks again. For inspiring a lowly beginner.
ahhhhh!!!!!!!
i'm in love with these images!!!
she is really gorgeous and the locations are very exotic!
love it all!
you always inspires me Sarah! :)
These are amazing! Nicely done!
all of your work is always inspiring but i especially love your personal shoots...they have a organic feel to them that just makes each shot a living moment. beautiful work. thank you for always sharing your knowledge and passion.
So good! Love the environment and, of course, everything else about these. Nailed it, once again!
These photos are so gorgeous! Makes me wish I could be back in Europe right now.
Ahhhh! Now I need to go to Greece. Period.
Can't wait to see all of your pictures! Glad you enjoyed it!
wow, greece sounds like an amazing place to visit! can't wait to check it out myself! hope you guys have a safe flight back!
It's DEFINITELY on my places to visit list. =)
Greece is one of the places I'd love to go, can't wait to see.
I love Greece, too, and I love this photo :) Can't wait to see more!
Oh my - I want to go. I've always loved photographing clothes hanging on a wire - I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds it so simply sweet :)
Holy moly. You guys are UH-mazing. I've been a long time admirer but first time to comment. I just have to tell you this is probably one of the BEST lifestyle sessions I've ever seen. I just study each image and my mouth was opened the whole time. Seriously awesome.
I love your non-wedding posts just as much as your wedding posts! These are awesome!
these photos are awesome sarah! I can totally tell that your creative juices were flowing because it's not something you're used to shooting. I'm seeing a lot of new composition in this shoot...maybe cause you're shooting 3 subjects instead of the usual 2 :P
i can totally get the mood.
good job!
Wow, unbelievable! You can really adapt to a different kind of subject very easily.
Ahhh. So SO gorgeous. That's all I can say. Gorgeous.
I love these! As I was scrolling through, I realized, wait, I need to read the story behind this, because this is unlike anything I've seen you do before. Awesome shots.
Great gallery! There are some really awesome shots!
your post makes me wonder what you said to them! haha, whatever you did... it worked! the pictures look great!
I love your pictures. They are full of positive emotions, passions. I draw inspiration from them, but I know that a lot of learning still ahead of me.I look forward to the next material. Greetings
Fantastic as I already knew from watching you edit. I love the selection and sequence of them on the blog. And to think this was a superfast impromtu shoot. Watch for mine up on my blog tomorrow.
I simply must have you photograph our family next year. Are you ever in LA? Please let me know if you are, or we will come up to you at some point. You guys rock.
Seriously awesome, really. And when I was looking at these photos I was thinking... GAWSH I wouldn’t know how to act around these guys!!! Then I read your blog and I felt better... seems I’m not the only one who isn’t a cool young thing anymore!!!

I love these shots! You so captured the feelings of unknowing and excited trepidation from these three.
Beautiful boys.
am I biased? You Bet.
But I know from almost 15 years of shooting these faces ...
Mahalo Nui Loa!

Pretty sure this is one of your best sessions ever.
If you have time while you're still on Maui I have a few suggestions:
Get down to La Perouse Bay at the southern tip. It's only 10 miles from Kihei. Beautiful all the time, especially at sunrise. Cindy and I like to do a 20-mile out-and-back run form Kihei to the bay and back. The lava fields are especially cool.
Eat a loco moco. Actually, split one with Chris.
Eat dinner at Maui Tacos. I like a wet burrito with fish or shark.
Drive to Hanna and take the southern road back. It will take all day and it's worth it.
There's lots more to see and do, but those are a few of our favs. BTW, sweet photo shoot!

These are absolutely stunning. Looks like they should be in a magazine. An I totally get you with the "cool dad" thing. Scary realization when we're not as hip as we thought :D
HAHA! I feel the same way when we hang out with our nephews. They are 9, 15, and 16 and I always feel so lame. I didn't used to be lame. But now I am, I guess. Oh man. HAHA.
Amazing energy of youth in these photos. Seems to have been a successful collaboration. You are too good
wow these photos are great! you guys seriously have pictures of people of all ages, and the pictures are ALL awesome!
I just LOVE all your works. You guys are probably my favorite photographers right now. thank you for doing what you do.
:)
I think you deserve to have every photograph that you take published.
For reals.
Very nice! Love seeing that you are in print. Next year, Vanity Fair right?
