I am so glad you are considering this model call! Here is all the info you will need:

This model call is for women only. If you have children, I will be hosting a separate model call later in the year for children to be included. You are welcome to attend both, but for this first session I am only photographing adults!

This session is meant to reflect the inner divine within women, and the beauty that unfolds when women come together. I am a big believer that we were never meant to live the way our current society demands. Alone, separate from our extended family and friends. I think we evolved to be together, raising children together, cooking together, cleaning together, not only surviving but thriving together. And I want these photos to demonstrate how magical that could be, for our culture, if we could embody that way of life again. I want it to embody what a matriarchy could look like, what a women-led society, a village centered way of life, could be. I hope this speaks to your heart, and if it does you are absolutely meant to be a part of this!

Session Date: Saturday, August 16th
Session Time: We will aim for everyone to meet at the parking area around 6:15pm, and hike up to start shooting by 6:30ish
Session Location: Bearwallow Mountain Trail, Henderson County NC

What to wear: Preferably a dress, something loose and flowy that will have lots of movement. Neutral colors like white, beige, cream, browns, and tans. Think timeless, no brands showing or crazy prints, try to keep it organic. Shoes must be discreet and easy to walk/run in. Barefoot is preferred! If you’d like to hike up in something comfortable and change once we’re at the top, that’s fine too. This location can sometimes be very populated so be prepared for that.

What to expect: Once everyone arrives and is accounted for, we will hike up a gravel trail for about a mile. Mostly shaded, and a slow gradual elevation gain (feel free to look up this trail on AllTrails to get more info on the hike). When shooting begins, I will have plenty of prompts to help everyone feel relaxed and loosened up. My vision is just lots of movement, laughter, holding. I might be bouncing around a bit from person to person with different ideas, but primarily I want lots of group shots, I will likely take some video clips as well. Ideally we can wrap the whole shoot up in an hour or so! Once we are finished, you guys are free to explore, go feed the cows that graze around the top of the mountain, or even hike back down the trail that goes through the woods. Make it an experience and enjoy your time while you’re there, this location is such a dream!

Before committing: I do require a model call contract be signed before agreeing to photograph anyone. The details of the session will be included, along with the agreement to allow me to use these photos for the promotion of my business. If you show up but have not signed a contract with me, I will not be able to include you in the photos. Once the following questionnaire is completed, that will confirm to me that you are attending this event and I will email you your contract!
