CLICK HERE to see my "Winter Woman Storyteller" gallery, the latest in my series of Winter Nudes galleries. There are now nine galleries in that portfolio.

I generally invite my models to bring any scarves or objects with which they might want to be photographed. In response to my invitation, one of the women brought a Native American Pueblo Storytelling doll with her. When she showed it to me, she said, "I am a storyteller." That was all I needed to hear. The doll instantly became a featured part of her posing session.
