large format bridals?

Photobucket

I'm toying with the idea of offering large format bridals to clients. Through the amazing connections that all women have (you know, best friend status with your hairstylist, your dry cleaner, the bank teller, etc.), I have starting working with a hair and make-up artist named Annie O'Connor. She did my latest chop of the hair, which looks fabulous, if I do say so myself, and she was wanting some new images, and I was wanting to try out this bride thing, with my own style, so we worked together on this one. I'm happy with the results. My truly devoted and amazing friend Claire was willing to come model for me. Good thing, too, because T says she is my most attractive friend :O) (He has not met all of my friends, so no one freak out, please).

He kept asking me what Claire was GETTING for coming and modeling. I told him I'd be giving her images, but that didn't make sense to him. So I explained that I was going to be making her a delicious veggie sandwich (she's vegetarian).... still no comprehension. So I explained that she got to wear her wedding dress again, get more bridals, get her hair and make-up done. That to me, makes perfect sense. What girl wouldn't enjoy being pampered, eating gourmet-y food and taking beautiful pictures of herself, right? T's end, NO comprehension.

I personally enjoy the difference between the sexes.

Additionally, it has been three years since I shot in studio. THREE YEARS. I think I caught back up to speed by the end, definitely did with the large format images, but man, have I been having nightmares about speedotrons. ek. But now that I have a studio available, oh my, the fun I'll be having and the projects I'll be doing!

P.S. the actual large format images will be coming in the next few days. Just dropped them off at the lab.

T may not get it, but I do. That is a modeling job I would volunteer for! Have fun with it, Alisha!
