Summer dawn; part one: "Early Morning Chair Sitting"

The water felt a bit chilly getting in at 5:30 in the morning on Lake Minnetonka. But, me, as the photographer was not even the one who got completely soaked. Shannel, my amazing friend, and fantastic model was the one who was so wonderful to get up so crazy early, looking gorgeous and everything. Shannel did all of her own make-up and helped make this shoot even possible with her brilliant artistic bent and ideas of her own. Seriously, so amazing. I have chosen a few of my favorites to post here, and as always, you can see even more in my facebook album. Enjoy!
