Ashley's Visit Home (NSFW)

WARNING: CONTAINS NUDITY

Ashley was back on the island for a couple of weeks and had contacted me back in March when I was scheduling my summer shoots.  We had planned to shoot on May 20th but the poor weather that lasted all week put pay to lots of shooting opportunities.  Fortunately the last remaining free day I had before she left turned out nice and sunny.
When we discussed concepts Ashley said she wanted images that portrayed aspects of Bermuda's beautiful beaches and were also to be a mix of sexy swimsuit, as well as some implied and topless sets.



We shot a mix of bikini and the nudes on a private beach between 2 - 4pm and then ended the day with a sunset shoot in the cove at Astwood park.
I'd briefly worked with Ashley before, when assisting Alex on a Style Bermuda shoot.   This was the first time that we had shot our own shoot.  Ashley is a fun model to work with, she's humorous and never complains, whether she's sitting on hard sharp rocks, or gets a face full of salt spray.  She takes it all in her stride.

Thanks to Jonathan Sousa for Assisting and Afroditi for doing Ashley's make up.
