Artist Headshots

Yesterday’s session was with the talented artist Sarah Jane Raffety.  I have a very special place in my heart for her, as she is my mother ;) We had a lovely lunch on the patio and then put our heads together to figure out what exactly she wanted. We talked a little bit about one of her favorite photographs that she had taken, her college senior yearbook photo.  I have always LOVED this image of her.  When I was younger I was always intrigued by the black and white images in her yearbooks.  The smell of the glue and paper when you opened the book, the intense contrasts of the black, white, and gray.  I would spend hours pouring over these books, taking in the images.  What could have been better inspiration for our shoot then, than this image? I love the way they turned out, and was lucky to have such a beautiful model!

Take a moment to go poke around her facebook page, and leave her some love :)

Fashion Show!

The fashion show at Lasting Bridal Couture was so much fun! A big thank you to them for having me as the featured photographer!  If you couldn’t make it, here are a few shots from the evening. For those of you that did make it, I have more pictures that I will post onto my facebook page later this weekend. Stay tuned!

The evening started off with browsing and bubbly, followed by a fashion show, bridal giveaways, and then ended with the brides browsing.

I am so happy to have met all of you lovely ladies and want to give a big congratulations to Ashlyn, who won my big giveaway! I can’t wait to work with you!

Hey Brides, it’s a Giveaway!!!

 

Good morning brides!  If you are still looking for a wedding gown, look no further! Lasting Bridal Couture of Addison is hosting a fashion show this evening.  This is a great chance to see what the latest and greatest fashion finds are without having to go through the hassle of trying those darn things on. Trust me, I’ve squeezed, strained, and sweated through chiffon and lace myself, and this sounds like an easier option.  Select gowns are 20% off, which is a great incentive itself.  If that’s not enough for ya, there will be bubbly, cake, a DJ, door prizes, and a stellar drawing from yours truly :) Whew….. THAT sounds like a party to me! The event is free, but you need to have a reservation as space is limited. See ya there!!!
