Alice In Wonderland [Fashion Inspired]

Lately, I've been feeling pretty stuck and repetitive with my work and I suppose that comes with the territory of being so busy with client work. Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE my client/portrait work, but every once and while, I need to stir things up and do something completely out of the box for myself.

The process of putting together this shoot was quite different than any other before. We obviously had a zero dollar budget so we needed to come up with all the props, clothing, hair, make up without spending a dime. We almost made it! Everyone found and put together items & ideas that they had to create this incredible shoot. 

Without this incredible team, we literally couldn't have pulled it off separately. It was a HUGE team organization that went so perfectly together. I couldn't have asked for it to be any better!

Massive thanks to the following ladies:

Nikki Giacobbe (Co-photographer)
Scarlett Bordeaux (Model)
Katie Lundberg (Model/Hair)
Kristyn Assise (Model)
Nagham Alzreiqat (Make Up/Hair)

A music video that inspired this shoot! Also a good soundtrack to view the photos to ;)

Senior Portrait Workshop: Hosted By Stephanie Pana

It finally happened and I am STILL on cloud nine that literally everything went so smoothly! We had 9 fantastic photographers, three stunning models, and two fabulous locations. The creative energy began as soon as everyone arrived at my house. We all got to mingle, get to know each other and talk about each persons' experience in their field. One of my favorite parts of the day!

Four hours of shooting later, we were all exhausted (VERY hot out that day!) and felt so much closer to everyone around us. Everyone got to work on things they've been wanting to practice, ask as many questions as they would like to and they also got to network with some absolutely incredible local photographers.

To say I was lucky would be an understatement. This all came together so perfectly and I literally am still floored that anyone thinks so much of me that they would attend my own personal workshop. I love being able to share! I can't thank you ALL enough for giving me this opportunity to do so. You guys have given me the courage and strength to pull this off. The next workshop for the Fall is already BOOKED! Be on the look out for another one come Spring 2012!

Check out the images from the day. You can just see how much fun was had! <3
