Briar Rose

What a lovely day it was to spend with this girl.
She's a lovely girl who's poise is the first thing you notice, but beyond her brow lies her need for adventure and her courage to seek it.
 
The sun couldn't have been shining brighter as we fought through overgrown grass. When I was scouting this location the week before the landscape was much more tame but an abundance of rain over the week brought much growth. 
I suppose the tangled briar was fitting.

Our story was a little different than you may remember of Aurora. 
Rather than an evil spell, it was the prick of a thorn that left our girl in a deep sleep. 
Instead of the kiss of a prince, it was a butterfly kiss that woke her. 

I hope you enjoy our take on this classic story.
