This shoot on Friday was only the second time I've ever worked with someone who wasn't someone I already knew and was friends with, and I was accordingly nervous as hell. It didn't really help that I was trying out an unfamiliar location, and so we spent about an hour just wandering around the streets of Wahroonga searching for somewhere promising. The majority of these were taken in Wahroonga Park amidst small children on their playdates and teenagers daring each other to photobomb (all boys, of course =P). 

But this girl, Joanna. I cannot even. She is just so very gorgeous, and anyone who has ever dabbled with retouching will know how much of a godsend it is when the model has lovely skin. The minimal amount of skin retouching I had to do was what lead me to naming this blog post the Latin for without wax, or 'sincere' to what was already there. I'll just leave it to the photos to convey how wonderful she is in front of the camera.
