Sorry if I got too much on topic about photography and beautiful women but I thought it might be fun to look at why shots work or whatever.
Points for the blush! Laurelei who is a cosmetologist spotted it right away. I wanted that "just in from the field hockey" look. I also intensified the catchlight in her eyes and darkened the bruise. She got the bruise, she said, from swing dancing a couple nights before.
She brought the Catholic girl school outfit (including the tiny gold virgin's chain she is wearing) with her to the shoot. It was hers in high school. She was not wearing a bra. No Photoshopping needed. The hint of knee socks on the edge of the pic, the expanse of inner thigh, that look she is giving the camera - straight on (experience? strength?) seem to me to sell the shot.
She is a joy to work with. She comes along on some of the other shoots and helps with makeup.
The biological equipment, gentlemen, is all her own. You may check that for yourself at her nude gallery.

I am also trying to show many more moods she conveys in her non-nude galleries

And yeah, sometimes I feel like Chas. B. and sometimes like Aqualung,
