flowers and shoes

I've always been a fan of great style, but surprisingly haven't worked on a fashion shoot with a model until recently.  I think I was nervous about the technical details while directing a model. I have high standards for what I'm looking for in a fashion shoot, and haven't yet met my technical goals.  But this was a lot of fun to work on, and my model, 1st year photography student Christine Damschroder, did a fantastic job!  She was so relaxed and subtle - I really appreciate the work she put into this with me.  It truly is a collaboration!

Thanks to Katherine Clark for loaning me the baby doll dress.  Shoes are by Urban Outfitters, and the hairpiece is handmade by me - inspired by Frieda Kahlo by way of the fabulous fashion wunderkind Tavi Gevinson 'Style Rookie'.  If you're not familiar with Tavi and her new 'Rookie' online magazine, I highly recommend checking it out.  I was very much a romantic and emotionally expressive teen, and this magazine has a familiar and true ring to it (made for and by some awesome young ladies!)  

As always, I really appreciate your comments and feedback.  Thank you!
