Today I had a photoshoot with a traveling model I had never worked with before, Jessa Ray, who is based in western Colorado. We had been corresponding for quite some time. She first reached out to me via Instagram, but we had some difficulty making our paths cross. Finally, on one of my trips back to Colorado to see the Shakespeare Festival, she was in the same area just returning from a modeling tour, and we managed to connect up for a half-day shoot.
I had a couple of nights of very short sleep, but I managed to pull myself together and meet her early in the morning. She suggested doing some exploring along US 6 as it runs between Golden and Central City. We found some nice spots to shoot, just off the edge of people driving by, and river rafters floating along. She was great to work with, and we were joined by her husband (technically new fiancee) who acted as our lookout. All-in-all it was a nice little excursion to see some of the Colorado mountains and rivers, and a good opportunity to do some model photography … my first in Colorado.
