One of my friends came down to my neck of the woods recently, and we decided to get creative and have a photo shoot! Emily is not only gorgeous, but one of the sweetest girls I Know. During the first hour I created a eclectic tea party scene with a bunch of my trinkets hanging out in my house. I have this really neat twisty tree in my backyard that I hung lanterns and scarves from. I also found  some mirrors & vases with shattered glass and displayed them on sheer colorful fabrics and lace. My tree was in full bloom and it was a beautiful day. Emily is wearing one of my dresses from Modcloth (love the site) it is very vintage / Victorian looking ..so perfect for our theme. Later on we decided to go for a modern extreme look.Very different than earlier. I placed her in front of a grungy barn door where she did her thing, and the photos are striking ! We had so much fun ...she wore one of my blonde bob wigs, and we did the hole high fashion black bar eyes, which I have always wanted to do with someone. These shoots are great for modeling portfolios, and they are also great gifts for friends/ and oneself. Who doesn't want beautiful pictures of themselves? I like to call these Self Expressive Sessions.

This upcoming Saturday I will be shooting Emily's Sisters wedding up in Petoskey Michigan. I am so excited to capture one of the most beautiful moments in her life! I have heard so much about their family, and I can't wait to finally meet them all. The wedding is going to be amazing. The theme is very whimsical & enchanting where the party will be held in a woodsy surrounding with vintage china collected over the past year. The bride will be wearing her mothers wedding dress that she has altered to make her own, and the colors are of natural pastel rose, yellow, blues, and greens.  I can't wait to get this Summer started with Love- Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend everyone!
