Boulder, Colorado
Following our successful Angel concept photoshoot, we delved straight into our next creative endeavor at Buckingham Park. Anticipation filled the air as we prepared for the arrival of our model. However, the lack of cell service at the park left us without the means to communicate, causing a brief moment of uncertainty. Luckily, our model managed to find their way to the location without any hiccups.
As the second shoot commenced, the heavens blessed us with the perfect overcast sky, diffusing the sunlight and casting a soft, flattering glow over the landscape. This fortuitous weather provided us with an opportunity to fully exploit Buckingham Park’s breathtaking scenery, presenting a myriad of possibilities for captivating compositions.
A light drizzle of rain added an unexpected touch of enchantment to the photoshoot. While we were initially concerned about the face paint washing away, it somehow managed to hold up, bestowing an intriguing allure upon our model’s appearance. The interplay of raindrops with the natural surroundings created an atmosphere of mystique, further elevating the ethereal vibe of the shoot.
Despite the model’s best efforts to arm themselves with bug spray, Buckingham Park’s lively insect population proved to be quite persistent. The uninvited guests buzzed around, playfully photobombing some shots and adding an unpredictable element to the session. While it may have been a minor inconvenience, the presence of these creatures showcased the raw beauty of nature and the challenges that come with embracing it fully.
As the day drew to a close, we found ourselves exhilarated by the creativity and teamwork that had culminated in yet another unforgettable photoshoot. Buckingham Park had once again proven to be a remarkable canvas for artistic expression, its natural wonders accentuating the beauty of our concept and giving us an abundance of inspiration.

The inception of the Mystic Goat concept was a testament to Carly’s impeccable eye for detail and her knack for blending the mystical with the tangible. Meticulously selecting the perfect set of horns, a headpiece that exuded enchantment, and a dress that seemed to have emerged from the pages of a fairy tale, Carly crafted the foundation for our ethereal creation. To complete the look, we adorned the ensemble with a cloak we had in our collection, adding an air of mystery and intrigue.
As our model took on the persona of the Mystic Goat, the photoshoot came alive with magic and wonder. Carly’s expert direction coaxed out breathtaking poses, capturing the essence of this mythical creature and immortalizing it in the frame. The moment was pure artistry, waiting to be brought to life through the power of editing.
Carly’s skills as a photo editor took center stage as she worked her magic on the raw shots. Adding elements of fantasy, she transformed the already captivating images into something truly otherworldly. The delicate balance of realism and enchantment left us spellbound, and we marveled at the seamless fusion of reality and imagination.
While Buckingham Park provided a stunning backdrop with its cool, meandering river, majestic mountains, and lush, tall grass, we were driven to push the boundaries of creativity further. Our desire to elevate the concept to new heights led us to weave in additional imaginative elements. Digital enhancements like glowing orbs of light, mystical wisps, and ethereal haze gave the photos an otherworldly ambiance, transporting viewers to a realm where magic and reality intertwined harmoniously.
