I love when people approach me wanting my specific style of photography! When someone asked for a Swamp Witch shoot I was like yes!!! Let's do it!!!
Iso 125 ▪︎ 55mm ▪︎ F4.5 ▪︎ 1/100s
The above is my signature pose. When people locally see someone standing like this they are like "Yup Liz took this pic". I started using it on maternity but have moved into it for solo non maternity sessions!!!
Iso 250 ▪︎ 200mm ▪︎ F6.3 ▪︎ 1/100s
I used my zoom lens for this session as she was legitimately in the Swamp and I was for the most part on the bridge. There were snakes we had to contend with as well. We visually seen 2 cotton mouth snakes, which means there were probably many more hidden.

This one was the first one. We already knew about him from a prior scouting mission. These are super venomous and could kill within minutes.
Iso 250 ▪︎ 80mm ▪︎ F5.0 ▪︎ 1/100s
I do believe we selectively chose the correct props for this. Including the debate in my head in the store on candle color. Red and Green are perfect contrasting colors in color theory. Which brings me to; recently I've seen some local photographers who missed the mark on color grading. I want to say something but that's on them not me to he honest.

So this Cotton Mouth snakes was curled up on a tree stump. The clients significant other almost ran into him. Luckily he was spotted and I was able to get a really good shot of it. Photographers really do put themselves into some dangerous situations for the shot!

If you look really closely you can see the little fairy house hiding on the tree!!! I like to give little Easter Eggs in my fantasy photography!!
I have a behind the scenes video of this photo shoot if anyone was interested. I just started a YouTube Channel that will feature how tos and its!
Can someone comment on how to embed a YouTube Video? I tried looking at markdown code for it but I don't see it!
I hope you enjoyed! Today I am editing an engagement session from yesterday and working on book 2 of my novel. Would anyone be interested in reading a fantasy reverse harem novel with wolves and witches and magical curses?
