A beautifull day to visit Strandhuse in Kolding (Denmark)

"Mirror, mirror on the wall / Who in the land is fairest of all?"

Another one of Judith from last sundays diva-photoshot, the first ones are here.

My first photoshot!

I decided to participate in the contest that Photocare in Denmark has:  
Denmark's loveliest Diva

"The contest is not about finding the perfect model of the correct body measurements or the right height.
Beauty comes in many forms, shapes and ages. Therefore, all women between 16 and 100 years can participate.

We are looking for Denmark's loveliest Diva. How her personality - and charisma shines through in the photograph.

A true diva manages to celebrate her femininity and still remain his own. She dare to shine and stand by the fact that she is a woman. They say that happy women are the most beautiful and charisma comes from inside - that's what we want shines through in your photograph."

My sweet friend Judith agreed to model, and so I had my first willing model, since I usally photograph my children  –  and they don´t stand still for long. 
Well, it ended up with me being a bit stressed (or more...) paying more attention to the light and camera than my model. I must certainly practice some more in how to guide my model – that being said I am actually very pleased with my result, and very happy that I had a very beatifull and patient model :-)

Here are some of the results: 
(I think that the first one is my fave, and will be my contribution ti the contest.)
