*cough*  341 frames  *cough*

Head & shoulders, half-body, 3/4-body, full-body, standing, twirling,
crouching, dancing, roaring, sultry ... well it was a workshop. :-)

I'm still selecting the 4- and 5-star shots. But I plan to have a
marathon PP/retouch session on the weekend, so you should see some
more of her and Elle next week. I owe some retouched TF shots to the
models and MUA.

If you're interested, that is. There aren't many studio photography
fans on the PDML.
