Think wet and sandy and sexy. Pretty compelling, isn’t it?
That was my assignment last month when I shot Marty Casey for his Silver Elements Collection. There are sessions that go so perfectly you feel like the stars are aligned and the day is charmed – this was one of those sessions. Every set up blew me away.
Honestly, I get to see my vision turn into beautiful reality all the time – that’s not new – that’s my job! But rarely is it quite so beautiful…
Most of the images debuted on silverelementscollection.com two weeks ago, but not everything we shot was about the jewelry. Sometimes when you’re in a beautiful setting, with a beautiful subject, and it’s a charmed day, you get other kinds of images. And I’ve been really eager to show them off, so here they are! Some of the best of the best of the jewelry shots and some other stuff – call it the director’s cut! My picks for best images of the day…

I heard the word “sandgasm” recently used to describe a series of portraits of guys covered in sand. Well I gotta say that Marty Casey wet and sandy blows just about anyone else off the beach, so I’m co-opting the word – ’cause it’s perfect!
Which beach is that?
Hey Jaime! It was the Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach. You know the one with the hotel with little cottages you can rent, and sleep over the ocean. Beautiful spot!
Wow, gorgeous pics as usual.
Your Pictures always blow me away!!!!
I like hanging Marty. Haven’t had the chance to see that in a while. Beautiful work, Cheryl. Seriously. ; )
WOW seriously amazing Cheryl! I had a hard time looking for the jewelry though ;o)
Beautiful, as always!
I can live with that little problem Heather! And thank you Tricia, Heidi, Jenny, and Lyn!
You are a true talent Cheryl—and what an incredible subject :-)
Oh, we are looking at the jewelry??
I am always astounded by the way you capture his eyes….THANK YOU!
