(Kate in the warm light of golden hour at Swan Lake in Victoria, BC)
The shoot with Kate started out sort of like your typical portrait shoot, well not really. As soon as she'd arrived at the set meeting location she whipped open her drivers side door and says "Hold on I'm not finished here." Then proceeds to throw on makeup, a light purple eye shadow with a somehow perfect wing eyeliner. As she does so we begin to talk about what we'd be doing during the shoot; your typical portraits of a pretty girl in the middle of the woods. I notice she has a vape with her and asked if she'd be alright doing some photos with that, and of course she was. Kate then looks at me and pulls out a metallic oil slick painted bong, "I've got this too if you want to either use it after or shoot with it." I was pretty surprised but 100% down for both. Then what really started our friendship was what she said next, "I just can't get too high, I have to go kick someone in the balls for money afterwards."
Here are some photos from that shoot!
