A first look at Saturday’s shoot in Providence , RI on what turned out to be a brutally hot and humid August day. Chantal was a trooper and we made it until well after the sunset (it did not get cooler) and the city light came up.

Moms: Don’t look into the sun you’ll hurt your eyes!

The best models challenge you to break the “rules” and ignore “technical perfection” to create something from emotion and experimentation..

What you don’t see is the crazy rock she climbed up on. I’m over 6’ and her feet were over my head.
You wouldn’t believe how many total images came out of this day long shoot.

A first look at an amazing session with the ever adventurous and always amazing Laura Goralski Cole
Laura never phones it in, even hours after this shot she was still throwing looks and killing it. Yes, there are even killer night shots. Stay tuned!
