Shark diving, bungee jumping, or sky-
diving?
Morgan Ann Larue: “I would totally shark dive!

I remember flying over the ocean on my trip to
Europe and all I could think about was watching
all of the fish and creatures move through the
water. No matter what danger is there I find so
much beauty in ocean dwellers.”
8. If you could move anywhere in the

world where would you go and what
kind of home/dwelling would you reside in?
Morgan Ann Larue: “I’m building my dream

currently! My boyfriend and I are converting an
old barn into a home on his great-grandparents
farm here in rural Iowa. It’s nestled in the hills
on a dead end road along a beautiful stream. It’s
secluded and in the area, I’ve always loved since
I was young. One day I’m going to save up and
buy one of the old houses in Arlington to convert
into a large studio space. I’ve always wanted to
own one of those big, majestic Iowa beauties.
Something about farmhouses has always struck
my heart. Even when I was standing along the
shores of Venice I dreamed of being back home.”

The
Phantom
Witness
Becca Buecher is a talented photographer that hails
from her home state of Colorado. The creative
direction of this work has been living inside her
mind for awhile and she was thrilled to finally find
a makeup artist that could bring this vision to life.
Becca knew exactly how she wanted everything
to come together and the model helped scout the
location.

8. Shark diving, bungee jumping, or sky-

Becca Buecher: “If I had to choose one, I would

skydiving, bungee jumping then the shark diving.”

where would you go and what kind of

Becca Buecher: “I love living in my home state of

Colorado and ultimately see myself still living here,
deep in the mountains. Some wouldn’t want to be
far away from civilization and while that is partly
true for me, I would still love living on a huge piece
of land that I can grow various plants and trees to
use for my photo shoots year round. I have talked
about it for many years and at first, it was a fanta-

achieve it in the next 10-15 years.”
10. What are some of your pet peeves?
Becca Buecher: “I have a few pet peeves but my

number one is the sound of chewing. I don’t know
