American Day Dream
This is my wife Andrea. I took this in a series of shots on the last day of our vacation in Colorado. The sun was just disappearing over the horizon and giving off that magical golden light. This is the first time I have really photographed anyone for a series of portrait shots.
We both love Colorado and can’t wait to return.

Mick Smith
What a natural. Both as model and cowgirl. The sepia works well here but its that pose, with eye’s shut lightly that really makes it for me.
Mick.
Peter Denness replied
Thanks Mick, that will really make her smile. I didnt give her much direction she just hit the poses for me. The sun was really low on the horizon which gave us great light
Scott Denny
Man do I like hot cowgirls….
Now understand this hot cowgirl is taken and congrats to you my friend. Nevertheless..she is hot…she is.
Scott Denny
What I am saying is…you have a very attractive wife. Congrats to you.
Peter Denness replied
Thanks Scott, perhaps I should stop passing on these comments top her, she might trade me in. I have about 5 more in the this series to add so keep a look out. Its the first time I’ve tried to do portraits, I’m practising for a wedding I’m doing on the 25/7, so hopefully I can recreate the same sort of shots. Thanks Again Scott, she’ll be very happy.
Scott Denny
Good luck with your wedding. You will most likely do just fine.
I dont think she will trade you in. She is attractive and your proud of it. I bet she loves that.
Peter Denness replied
Thanks Scott, I’m sure she does
