sneaking into the graveyard

How cute and bad-ass is this little lady? This is Alexandra, and she asked me to shoot a few photos of her this fall. You might know her from her blog over here. This shoot was a ton of fun today because a) she's a good soul and b) we decided we wanted to take photos in the cemetery, and we had heard rumors that wasn't allowed. So she donned all black and a leather jacket to get in character, and off we went to break some rules.You guys, I know I have gone on and on about how Lakewood Cemetery is my very favorite, but they just built this new mausoleum that we shot inside of and it is GORGEOUS. I was stunned by the beauty and the light and I am now wondering if I could possibly be lucky enough to sneak in there again for photos. Doubtful, but maybe I'll test the waters later. Man, what a stunning space. And if I can't take photos there, do you think they'd be offended if I started doing yoga there? Because you wanna talk about a peaceful spot...
