Bonkers, maybe….

/ jeaninethurston / Leave a comment

To keep my edge in my work I need an occasional play date.  Typically my play days are not my normal photography work that you see on a day to day basis.  I spend my play dates with people that like to work a little outside of the box, and I shoot more MY style than at any other time.  I’m pleasing myself, and pushing my boundaries while trying to keep the quality still at it’s best.  My background is actually in the arts, and my personal love of shooting style can be a bit dark and crazy at times… I love people that play outside of the box…..”Bonkers, maybe – but let me tell you a secret… all the best people are.” ~Alice in Wonderland

We had a stellar crew going, but Jill Scott (did her own hair and make-up) kind of took everything to a new level… we have very like brains when it comes to having fun and creating some art.  Susan Dillon of Kitty Mae Millinery is always our go to Mad-hatter and what a beautiful “orb” she had to hat this time around.

In the spirit of Alice in Wonderland we have lots to show soon, but I couldn’t help but show off two of my favorites so far.  Promise, full cast & crew with more photos coming very soon!

Mommy make-overs

It’s not about being someone different.  It’s about giving you a couple of hours of quiet time, away from the hustle and bustle of kids, jobs, housework, and making time for just you.  The holidays are coming up and we are adding more Hot Mommy days coming in November & December.  So click here and check us out on Facebook to get the latest on Hot Mommy day specials!  Then come in for a mini make-over, enjoy some quiet time or bring a friend or two, and relax with a snack and then a photo-shoot.  And, why stop there right?  Make it a night out with your special someone or with your amazing group of girls to show off you feeling your best.

A day of bridal fashion photography

Sunday – Sept. 26th finally!  After about 6-8 weeks of planning/coordinating… and more, it all came together perfectly.  Beautiful upper 80s for weather… bright sun, everyone involved showed up on time or early.  I have had a chance to work with Heathyrre Kautz a few times over recent months and she again… worked her magic on the models turning the canvas into absolute perfection, and Claudia Opara was assisting Heathyrre.  Berenice worked on hair…. and when she arrived she was a little quiet… with a little nerves because it was actually the day before her wedding.  While the models rotated in and out of chairs between make up and hair the ones on break poured over bridal magazines and chit chat until everyone was ready to go to play dress up for the afternoon.  David was the lucky “groom” for my ladies, with huge beautiful light brown eyes that would make about any girl melt.  To round out the models we had Tristin Huntamer, Rachel Vigil, Melissa Schans,  and Courtney Dalton.  Newberry Brothers provided us with a couple beautiful bouquets, and I did a quick stop at Fun Services to add balloons to a few shots too.  Danielle from Blushing Bride Colorado met us at the park with so many beautiful gowns, and even a tux for David.  It was a completely exhausting day – but so much fun, and loving the images that we all managed as a team.

I would love for you to visit the little video we put together with some selects from the shoot : Bridal Fashion
