When we first met Stormie, we were immediately struck by her beauty, her poise, and her fantastic sense of style. We were absolutely delighted to work with someone who shared our old-worldly aesthetic, and was willing to take it all the way. The inspiration for this shoot came from the vintage luggage passed on by Stormie's great aunt, which used to house her dolls when she was a child. The classic shapes and the nostalgia of the sea-foam green evoked memories of a lost era that we were determined to recapture on this cloudy afternoon.

Camera in hand, we followed Stormie on her journey through tiny antique stores chock-full of ancient treasures, though secret gardens and sun-dappled rooftops. She, of course, was quite the seasoned artiste. Given the quiet, graceful air about her, every glance became an opportunity for a beautiful picture.

Our voyage took us through narrow alleyways we had never before explored, and led us, eventually, to the port. It seemed a fitting end to our "travels", and we concluded our session with our young heroine looking out into the waters, waiting to sail away.

A special thank you goes out to the Antique Guild, for the generous use of their beautifully appointed interior.
