We tried doing an offshoot of the &#8216;silks&#8217; shoot previously done by Hawk and Jake, but the wind was too strong, and the temperature too cool. We moved into a leather jacket look, and, Abra, with his usual poise and confidence pulled it off well. You&#8217;ll notice that he has grown stronger and leaner, with a more chiseled look in the face&#8230; a look that the camera seems to love.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beautifulyouth.com\/blog\/uploaded_images\/sah090208-769128.jpg\"><img style=\"FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 195px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beautifulyouth.com\/blog\/uploaded_images\/sah090208-769123.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>Sahara was next, and she pulled up wearing a lovely gown that contrasted well with the grey-winter park surroundings. Some of the best shots from her shoot came against a wintry leafless-tree background, creating a wonderful juxtaposition of sparsity and elegance. Sahara, too, has continued to bloom, trading her &#8216;cute&#8217; younger looks for a more sophisticated, grown-up appearance. Her carraige and poise suggest confidence and certainty.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Look for the new Abra and Sahara shoots soon in the galleries, and we look forward to more from these talented models!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After an unseasonably warm Saturday, we expected the same on Sunday, and were very much disappointed!
