I’ve dreamed of shooting in a field like this for a long time. The day was absolutely perfect, with hardly a cloud in the sky, when Gigi and I went to Ithaca Falls as the first location for our shoot. Gigi told me that she wanted to capture the softness but also edginess of her style, so at the falls we decided to go for more of a modern look. Then we went to a special field west of Ithaca to take more ethereal photos. As the sun moved lower in the sky, golden hour came upon us. The light was in the perfect position to get the lovely backlighting that we wanted in order to achieve magical looking portraits. We had so much fun twirling and running through the fields, and occasionally changing outfits as the sun lowered so we could get each look in different lighting. By the end, we were both hot, tired and sweaty, but also delighted because we knew this shoot was truly spectacular. Gigi was a dream to work with, and she made the photos look like they came straight out of a fairytale!
