Olga arrived right on time and was grinning from ear to ear!  I was so happy to see her again, it had been an entire year and much had changed in her life.  She had gotten married, and was now with child...not to mention that her hair had grown all the way to her waist...lovely, just lovely!

I focused on the difficult shots in the very beginning.  Getting the "halo" around her with gel lights was a bit tedious and time consuming, but, when I got it just right the shoot went very fast after that.  Olga was pure joy to work with and followed direction extremely well.  Not only that, but her expertise in yoga mudras was incorporated into each phase of her shoot.  She had wonderful ideas and made an excellent model.  Towards the end of her shoot we did some grid photos that turned out almost angelic!  To see some of her photos being considered for the book, go to http://allure.smugmug.com and look for the Mystic Women of Salem gallery.

Great job Olga, you have made the MWS Team very proud!  Your contribution to the project reflects the great diversity among the women of the project.  We are very proud of you, your message, and feel honored to have you as a featured woman in The Mystic Women of Salem photography book.
