This week’s theme almost didn’t happen.  As the sun was setting, my in-house model was busy doing her Algebra homework, I had a chicken on the grill, and I had no plan.  Luckily my mom just moved back to California and brought with her lots of fun and vintage things, including my grandmother’s heavy red wool coat.  Maddy had stuck it in the trunk of her car the last time we stopped over to help unpack.  So once she was done with homework, she threw on the coat, a smear of red lipstick, some fishnet stockings and her red heels and we ran around the corner to the path by our house.  We shot this just after the sun went down.  I’m not sure what the neighbors were thinking, but I’m happy with the vintage image we were able to create with her great-grandmother’s winter coat.

 

And a couple more just for fun.

Next stop on the vintage train this week, Melanie Pitcher, Memphis, TN Photographer.

Happy Weekending!

    These are gorgeous! You and your daughter seem to have the same connection I have with my in-house model, my 7 year old. She is always ready to do a shoot with me and she really connects to the camera like your daughter. She is so beautiful!
