Whew! I know, I know…I have not posted anything new in a bit. I promise, this will be a good post! It’s been pretty chaotic here the last month or so…I didn’t have weddings in August, BUT, I had more shoots last month I think than any other month I have worked! That’s a good thing though right! I have gotten to meet some fantastic people and have had a blast trying out new techniques.
Many of you know that I coin my photography as modern vintage. These days, it could not be MORE true. A few months ago, I teamed up with an amazing young woman named Liv who does vintage hair and make up from the 20’s to the 60’s. Since starting to work with her, she and I have been able to soar to new levels in our work! I am so happy she is part of my team and I know that all of you guys will see her as a tremendous asset to your shoots!
I am going to work my way backwards because there is a lot to post here…
Liv and I decided to create a new type of shoot in which we turn YOU into an old Hollywood Starlet based on your features. The shoot is $350 for all clients and includes your hair and make up by Liv. We have been piddling with this idea for a while, and we decided to officially test it out on doing some shots of yours truly. I now know what it is like to be Liv’s victim—well not really a victim! But, I realize now sitting on that stool can be a bit uncomfortable. hehe.
Anyway, so Liv took the shots—I had to help her and this is her first official photographic debut hehe…but she took the shots, I directed the lighting, and modeled of course:
Me as Greta Garbo (first shot is the real Greta on the left, Me on the right)




The next shoot, we recreated Veronika Lake and Lauren Bacall on Sheri:
