Tatiana takes on Okinawa! | Okinawa Photographer

When Tatiana emailed me asking about a shoot to celebrate herself, I thought, ohhhh this sounds like it could be a blast. The email started like this: "Dear Pamela, First of all, your photos are mesmerizing. Here's why I'm writing to you. I wanted to book a solo photo shoot...Recently I've been feeling pretty good about myself and just wanted to capture this wonderful state of "it-feels-so-good-to-feel-good..."
The more we chatted about her vision, the more I began to see the images in my head. A connection was made! My brill friend and fellow photographer, Michelle, came to the shoot with me. She said she'd hold the reflector (that I think we got out once!) but we always work so well together so we held each others energy too! She also put up this big backdrop too, that I no doubt, would have failed at! Missy and I. Good times!
Lots of photos in this blog for this multi location shoot! Starting out with some urban shots...
of bright, bold, strong colours to match how Tatiana felt...I think we got the 'this wonderful state of it-feels-so-good-to-feel-good'! I just feel chilled looking at this!
Moving to merge the urban with the sea (anyone that knows me know my love of graffiti and people and the sea. All combined. YES! But one must let the joggers pass! LOL
 It was hot!
 and super sunny, practically midday...
But we got some fantastic shots! And I was excited for the challenge of this shoot!
ONWARDS...to the beach...to capture, the sweet, romantic Tatiana...
And on to the 'STREXY' shots! Michelle set the back drop up for me. Thank you so much, I am useless at that kind of thing!
Some close ups
and not so close
One of my fav silhouette shots!
This is peaceful and chilled...

This image I love and is actually an accident as she was just turning and I just happened to have the camera at the ready!
LOVE
LOVE
and LOVE some more!
and LOVE in BW
Strong and light
and YES we had some laughs!!! Lots of them actually!
Tatiana. Thank you for believing in my vision. I am so happy I met your vision expectation! It was great! Missy, as always, THANK YOU! I'll leave you with some fun shots too!...
This just cracks me up for some reason! Sparkly blue thing on the rocks!
Michelle caught me shooting!
If you want to book a solo photo shoot...to capture the wonderful state of 'it-feels-so-good-to-feel-good...' please contact me. I would love to set something up! Celebrate YOU x

Pam i love the idea she had, what a cool thing to do for yourself and so happy for her that feels so good! You did do a great job capturing how she feels. I particularly love the shot at the seawall where the jogger is passing by...cool to capture that he's checking her out! Totally makes her point!
