Early last month I got to shoot with such an amazing team of women. Boston designer Ashley Rose who made this lovely gown with real tree bark. Makeup artist Stefanie Strazzere hair by Steph B and model Amber Strickland . I can not wait to work with this gang os super talent again.

When I first saw this gown that Ashley was working on I was brought right away to the vision of Alphonse Mucha's "Seasons". I am forever enchanted by the tie between the natural world and the feminine, the duality of something so soft seeming being also harsh and strong at it's deepest core. That's what I was trying to capture here.
