Entangled in Nature: A Woodland Session with a Web of Wonder
This past weekend, we took things to the woods for an adventure like no other. Sharnai, our fabulous brand ambassador, my trusty assistant Edana, and I ventured out with a plan: an epic waterfall session… with a twist. And if you know Shar, you know she excels at doing things with a twist! She wanted to bring a Halloween-inspired vibe to the session—something spooky yet undeniably beautiful—and let me just say, we absolutely nailed it.
Shar has been shooting with us for two years now, and every session is a creative playground. We’re always down to experiment, and this time was no different. So what did we do? We grabbed some cheap spider webbing (the kind you find in the Halloween aisle), a few masks, some sheer curtains, and a handful of props. Sounds simple, right? But here's where the magic happened: who would've thought that basic webbing, combined with the right lighting, posing, and a sprinkle of creativity, could create pure visual magic? But we did it. And honestly, this set? It became both hers and my favorite of the day.
Now, let’s be real. A lot happened during this session—so much so that I’ll be writing another blog just to cover the rest of the magic. But this spider web set? It was something special. It was like the stars aligned (or maybe it was the trees) because everything just fell into place. The contrast of the delicate webbing against the natural, rugged beauty of the woods felt like a perfect metaphor—beauty entangled with a bit of mystery. There was so much to feel in this set, and you can see it in every shot.
As Shar and I reviewed the photos, we were like, “Ooo, damn…” and “Oh wow, this one is giving off serious Hollywood glam vibes!” We even had a few “OMG, this is the shot” moments. And let me tell you, when both the photographer and the model are feeling that kind of energy, you know something special has been captured.
So, here's a full slideshow of the spider web set, featuring Shar's favorites and mine. It’s a bit of a longer set, but trust me—it’s worth watching every frame. The mix of creativity, beauty, and a touch of eerie magic is something I’m incredibly proud of. Honestly, this might be some of my best work yet, if I do say so myself.
Be sure to watch the full show to get all the feels and all the flavors. You’ll see everything from dreamy, ethereal moments to glam shots that give off old Hollywood vibes. This set is the perfect blend of Halloween spook and sheer beauty, and I’m so excited to share it with you all.
Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes stories of what went down in the woods that day, because trust me, the spider web set was just the beginning.
