Mia is from Florida and was just passing through town one weekend and we were able to get together.  I picked her up on a Saturday morning and headed out to one of my favorite spots.  Since it was summer I wanted to add a few summer touches like the white hat and luckily for me she had a beautiful white linen skirt that matched it perfectly.  I also brought along the plaid shawl I had because I thought it would fit her beautiful dark eyes and hair.

I was going to name this collection "Nope, Nope, Nope"  because as you can probably guess most photographs require a bit of a touch-up to remove an unwanted skin blemish here and there, but when I tried to look for some on Mia, I found myself saying...

Some models like to bring a friend or escort along with them when meeting or working with photographers they have never worked with before, so they are more comfortable.  Mia brought along her boyfriend, a nice enough guy whose name I've forgotten.  I named this Beauty and Bugs because I had to laugh that while this beautiful woman was standing there Mia's boyfriend was behind me looking at all the ants, grasshoppers, and centipedes in the grass!
