My family and I went camping and drove past this stunning lake that was clear and 65 degrees.
Anytime I see water I am like one of those dogs that has to jump in and enjoy as much of it as I can. I wish I lived on the lake... I think I would swim most days; I see myself swimming a lot when I'm old. It's where I feel happy and most relaxed. I've progressed to swimming in waters as cool as 45 degrees. It's a mind control thing and I want to get really good at that with more practice.
My boyfriend Marcus took these pictures (@mynameismarcusklotz.) He's so sweet for always being up for anything I want to do. The minute I saw the lake, I told him we had to stop and get ready to go swimming. His response is always "oh yeah? okay!" I love being in a relationship where I can be comfortable being who I want to be without ever holding back. I think it also shows in the photos how comfortable I am being his subject.
It's important for me to master the modeling technique as a photographer in order to direct new underwater models. Remembering certain poses gives me an advantage and can save me time.
