Portraits of a Classy Lady (Part I)

Ah, if only every model I ever photographed were so easy and fun to work with!

Last night's portrait session was a joy.  This woman has been through some interesting trials in her life, but she comes out of it dancing and smiling and ready to tackle the next thing!  She handles her life with grace and class.

Plus, could she BE any more gorgeous?!  ;-)

We did a couple of different "series" of portraits for her, each with a unique outfit and look.  This was the first, and we decided to include this pretty little string of pearls.  There was a story behind them, they've been in her family for a hundred years.  I love personal touches like that in a photo shoot.  It adds something extra special, in my opinion.  It tells more of the story of the individual being photographed.  It adds depth and meaning.

Last week, I posted this stunning bride at one lovely location.  But we actually took her to two places for her bridals!  This second one, White Willow, has long been a favorite of mine.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to take bridal portraits of a beautiful young woman.  We chose two different locations for this session.  I'll post the ones from our second location later, but this first one was charming!

If you're looking for someone to photograph YOUR bridals or wedding day, I'd love to be a part of your special celebration!  Check out the new Bridal Elegance collections:
