Hello all! I haven't forgotten you all; it's just been a crazy winter, and I'm happy to be back to posting. I'm so excited to return with the first of two photo sessions in collaboration with Naomi of Fresh Images Photography! She's my sister in-law, and was behind the awesome beach snaps of myself and Doc this past summer. I know she loves any excuse to take photos, and I was so happy she agreed to do some more for me.
I specifically wanted to showcase this show-stopping metallic dress that I found at, of all places, Forever 21. It's a Grecian-style gown in silver and grey, and I knew I would not be able to take photos that captured the shimmer and glamour of it. I styled it in a manner that (to my mind anyway) was similar to the Ziegfeld girls of the 1920s. Their elaborate but feminine costumes and outfits set them apart from other chorus girls or performers. Many stars of both silents and talking pictures got their start there, such as Louise Brooks, Tallulah Bankhead, and Barbara Stanwyck. Ziegfeld girls were ostensibly presented as the girl next door, yet remained mysterious and exotic. I'm so thankful that Naomi helped to create this look for me with impeccable lighting and design choices; she really knows how to set the scene in pictures.

Hello again,
ReplyDeleteWhen I clicked on your photo, it took me to your Google+ page. That is how I ended up on your September post of the pretty blue coat.
When I saw this top photo from this post, I thought that it was a photo from the 30s. Your sister-in-law did a wonderful job.
:)Hope
Oh, thank you so much! I'm so happy with her photos, as well, and I think it's always wonderful when we get a chance to step back in time for a photo shoot.
