This is my all time favorite photo shoot.... ever.
From the looks of my website, you can probably already guess I love funky, old style and retro colors.... I also like pretty things and taking photos of people. This shoot combines all that :)
I've had this idea in my head for years now, but I just didn't have anywhere to do it (there aren't too many untouched houses from the 70's around these days). When my friend and amazing makeup artist, Jamie Michele, told me about her Grandma's house I nearly died. It was perfect. Once we had a spot we just needed models and wardrobe... no problemo! My awesome assistant Chelsea and my buddy Chris volunteered and brought along some great outfits. Then I raided my mom's closet and found some gems... thankfully she's a bit of a packrat :) Everything just fell into place from there.
Enough of my rambling... here it is. I hope you like it. I freaking love it :)
Isn't the wallpaper just awesome?
It was fun playing with off camera light... I hope I get a chance to do that more often this year...
Chris was such a good sport :)
One of my favorites:
Wood paneling gets such a bad wrap, but I LOVE it!
This next one is my favorite of the day...
We had to venture outside too! I found Chelsea's coat in my mom's closet... isn't it awesome?
Chelsea's grandma lent us a great coat too...
Another costume change... this blouse was my mom's too :)
I swear Chelsea could wear anything and it would look perfect on her...
And that's it! If anyone knows of a great location like this please let me know! Better yet, if anyone wants to do a shoot like this call me right now... I'm dying to do it again :)
