Too cool for school

On Saturday I was shooting a beautiful model and the location was so gorgeous, I had to do a few self portraits, even though I was decidedly boring in my working outfit. 

(Overalls are perfect for storing lens caps, spare batteries, 
brushes, flashes and other photography paraphernalia.)

Anyway, only twenty minutes down the road...


Snow! 


It was such a perfectly clear, sunny day...


Mysteriously long forgotten boots on table...


And look at this incredible woman...


Such a natural beauty...


And she's another Wonderwoman...


...runs her own business, manages a family with two little kids, volunteers at a nursing home... 
plus she is an absolute sweetheart


I think I'm awesome when I do up my pants 
and eat breakfast on the same day.



There was a bubbling brook. 
I am not even exaggerating. Bubbling.


It was beautiful. And she was beautiful. 
And I did up my pants and ate breakfast. 
Bam! Boss of the world.

So refreshing to see snow in these days and I'm not feeling guilty because you have a shining sun that kisses you and your beautiful friends on the cheeks!Overalls are perfect to go for a walk in the woods and so your parka jacket...definitely too cool...for the world!

Kisses to you and all your friends, yesterday I couldn't comment, but you and Ada are the best!

How amazing do you look in dungarees?! I fear I'd look more like a farmer in them, not really the look I'd be going for! Gorgeous pictures. XO

It seems really odd to see snow when it's Summer here, it's a grim reminder of what's to come...arghhhh, I hate it! You and that pretty blonde on the other hand are a sight for sore eyes, you are both gorgeous! You are such a talented snapper!
Love you more than boots! xxx

She is lovely and I do have great admiration for people who can take care of children and manage to get anything else done. However, you are also a speck-tacu-lar role model for any woman, young or old, so there!

Vintage Coconut said...

Is that why you wear overalls? So you don't have to do up your pants that day?? *heeheheh*
Fantastic photos!! =D

Lynn Dylan said...

You are ANYTHING but boring! Great photos. And you are right -- she is beautiful. Your blog always inspires me!

Miss Tallulah Porkchop said...

Snow? Bah! This week is the last week of winter. *does happy dance*

Joni said...

Wow, you found your model today while out for a stroll? She is lovely. Sort of a modern day Red Riding Hood in black.

Glad you started out your day with the "most important meal of the day," they tell us. Which I don't necessarily agree with.

Good night Boss!

Stacey said...

I absolutely adore you in overalls! Your photographs are beautiful, as is your wonderful model.

SACRAMENTO said...

Wonderful post Sarah. The look of you both and the cool snow made my day, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Your model is beautiful. Snow is beautiful. YOU are beautiful. NEVER boring. EVER. Caps abuse - whaddayagonnado?
Your photos are just so breathtaking, I love to see your work. And I love you whether you've eaten breakfast, done your pants up, or whether your frocks are held together with gum or you've eaten a jar of peanut butter with a spoon.
So there! xxxxxx

Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping] said...

Rebecca said...

Lol..you always make me giggle and I love those dungarees... been after some for gardening as I never have enough pockets for seed packets and twine.

And the lady you are shooting is an absolute wonderwoman and she is beautiful and I am jealous that you've got snow and a babbling brook!

Yes, you make overalls look beautiful. I love the quality of light in these photos - I can almost hear the snow underfoot and smell the wet earth. So crisp and clean. I love that photo of your runners too!
