Third Shoot with Riann Nova

 

I shot with Riann for the first time in the fall of 2022. She's a traveling model, and this visit made her third to the Pacific Northwest. She always travels with an extensive wardrobe and her emotional support dog. She fosters canines in her spare time, and this time she brought one of her fosters along as well. Her pups are never a problem. She brought a collapsible crate to the shoot, and the pups relaxed in the shade outside the studio while we had our session.

We met at Floofie's studio where I used a similar setup for Riann as I had for Belle. For our past shoots, we had shot at my home, in my backyard, and at Sauvie Island. Once again, I was switching it up by shooting boudoir rather than glamour or nude, and the setting worked well for us. 

I had Riann leave her oversized suitcase of wardrobe in her car and only bring in her small bag of props we'd be using for the shoot. I almost always provide the outfits for my shoots, so I seldom have models bring their own clothes. I plan each shoot carefully and match the costumes and props to the model and the concept I want to capture.

Riann performed in her usual excellent fashion. We had a fun and productive shoot, cycling through the different outfits and poses with ease. As a bonus, Riann got to meet Floofie for the first time when we ran into her on the sidewalk as we were leaving. Floofie is much admired in the freelance modeling community, and most of the models I work with either know her or have followed her work for years.

I don't know when I'll be shooting with Riann again. It might be next year, or the year after. She's currently traveling in the Southeast, but I expect she'll return to the Pacific Northwest in the not-too-distant future.
