I’m super excited to share the second themed session with my 2018 Senior Models!
My 2016 models had color inspired sessions and the 2017 models had icon sessions. We had a blast planning and photographing those but for the class of 2018, I decided that I wanted to change things up. I picked four different themes and I let my models pick the theme that they liked best. The first two, Warrior Women and Old Hollywood turned out great!
For the third themed session, we chose Victorian Gothic. I’ve always loved books from the Gothic genre. The way movies like Sweeney Todd, Sleepy Hollow and A Series of Unfortunate Events were styled were the perfect inspiration for this session. I know my models would never dress this way in real life but these themed shoots are about stepping out of your comfort zones and these fabulous ladies nailed it! They looked so gorgeous and I felt like they had stepped straight off of a movie set!
All five of the models had their hair styled by the always wonderful Mary Neifert. It’s always so much fun working with her. I just show her a few examples from my Pinterest board and she gives me perfect results!! The makeup was done by Courtney Durrer of Lost Cause Beauty and Sydney Small. These wonderful hair and makeup gurus absolutely captured my vision!
