Beef and a Plane

This is my beautiful sister Phoebe. A friend of ours switched the syllables in her name and called her Beefy. For years now I've called her Beef. It's just one of the many nicknames in the Bethune household like Uncle Davis, Ner, Tom, Jeardod, Motcat, Trandoshan, Naynay, Cofaehater, Nakeyboy...

Phoebe, in all of her wonderful quirkiness, was posing for head shots and portraits when she decided she needed a prop to motivate some new poses. If you've been to my parent's house in Chesapeake, Virginia, you know that there is no shortage of props or costumes, so this Fisher Price airplane was just begging to be picked up and cradled. Even jumbo jets need love.

Shot with two Alien Bees in my parent's converted garage using my dad's grey paper background. Minor editing in Aperture, my post-production workflow program of choice.
