i'm so proud of capturing this amazing Lavinia moment... everything about it is just perfect. her dangerous red heals are even in the shot...

THE SETTING :: a trashy hotel room in south beach Miami circa 2006.

THE PLOT :: entertaining the girls from behind the closet door, filled with moments of [high] giggles and anticipation as Lavi teases the crowd with just a hint of a smile. just a hint of her amazing white bathing suit beneath the trench. what will happen next? a mad dash is made for the bathroom from the closet while coyly giggling and covering the face from the inevitable flash of truth. but alas the moment was caught by your's truly.
