The Secret Garden

secret garden

The Secret Garden title fits this set perfectly.

Way out in the middle of nowhere and hidden behind signs that read “NO TRESPASSING” and “this area is under video surveillance”  was the most absolute perfect spot for this set.  And as if the signs weren’t enough of a warning to keep out, off in the distances there was sounds of semi-auto guns being shot.  It was like something straight out of Deliverance or Wrong Turn movie. Fiona and Chloe rocked with their blonde hair and amazing blue eyes. I could have shot with these two beautiful people all day.  Thanks to them they totally brought the idea out of my head into reality. Word to yo mutha!

I love this set so much I’m posting more photos than I’d typically do in including some from the Pentax and FED film camera.

Models: Fiona D. and Chloe E.
Hair and makeup: Fiona D. and Chloe E.
Styling: Donte “Super Awesome” Tidwell

Yes! this Secret Garden was even equipped with a little lake. Strangely the temperature around it was about 10 degrees cooler than anywhere else.  I thought that was weird and little creepy.
