Fashion Shoot Part 4

When I was a little girl, I had a dress up box. It was filled with costumes and clothes that were too big for me... hats, scarves, sunglasses, purses, and shoes. It was one of my very favorite things to do. I loved to dress up and pretend to be someone different. Being an only child, I had a wild imagination, and those clothes would take me to all different places... When I put on a different outfit, I could imagine that I was a totally different person... a princess in a faraway land, a cheerleader for the local high school football team, a chef for a fancy restaurant, or any other crazy idea my 7-year-old self came up with.

This fashion shoot was kind of like going back to that dress up box and pretending to be someone new and exciting. This was really the first time I'd done a shoot like this. For those of you who follow my blog... you've seen the stuff I usually do... kids, families, couples, weddings...

This was new and exciting for me! And the models got to play dress up too. Today is a shorter post, but these are some of my favorite pictures from the shoot. Courtney (the stylist) had this idea of having funky, rock clothes with light romantic hair and make up, and then switching it up with the opposite: light, pretty flowy clothes with funky hair and make up. Here is Lisa's second look.

I don't think this post even needs words.

Fashion Shoot part 2

I am neck deep in photos today...
Seriously, it's a good thing I shoot digital or I wouldn't be able to breathe!

I am so excited about the amazing shoots I've been doing lately and I cannot wait to share them all with you! Sometimes I have to restrain from posting several blogs in one day because there is just so much going on.

Today, I am sharing a few more from the fashion shoot (told you it would be in several posts!). This is Jessie. She's gorgeous! It's been so hard going through all of these and choosing which ones to post (so that I don't completely overwhelm you!) but here are just a few of my favorites of Jessie!

Fashion Shoot: Behind the Scenes

I am a big fan of DVDs... not only because of how easy they are to use and how small and compact they are... but also because of the amazing "special features" found on most DVDs... I think that is often the best part of watching a movie on DVD. I love to watch every special, every blooper, every cast interview... and even the commentary. Yes, I am that girl.

There is just something so cool about knowing what went on behind the scenes. I think that is why I am drawn to pictures of photographers shooting. It's just so cool to see what is going on behind the lens. I also think its awesome to see someone doing something they love.

Enter, Courtney. I've known Courtney for a few years and she is a passionate girl. She lives and loves with passion. Everything I've ever seen her do, she's done with enthusiasm and excitement. The fashion shoot I recently did was no different. Courtney is an incredibly talented and amazing make-up artist and hair stylist. She styled the whole shoot! I'll be sharing more about Courtney and her skills in later posts, but here are a few shots I snapped of her in action. I love them. And her :)
