We never found the wizard!!

We're off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz... yeah we never found him! Its our annual Halloween shoot. For those of you who follow me you all know that I always try to step it up a notch for the Halloween shoot. Just to remind you of our shoots in the past here is a little photo reminder.

Our 1950's horror movie featuring Bailee as the evil doll and Ashley as the ghost bride.

And then we did our EPIC Day of the Dead shoot. We actually tried to turn my backyard into a Mexican courtyard. 

This year we decided to do a throwback to the Wizard of Oz but we wanted to make it more modern. I am so glad we did this shoot it was hard work but man we had fun I hope you all love these pics. I think next year's Halloween shoot is going to be even more over the top so stay tuned!

Just Stevie???

Happy September Ya'll!! September is always a huge month in our household what with Brayden's birthday, my birthday and also our anniversary but I also needed to have our monthly photo shoot, see told you busy. Anyway my idea for this months shoot was to pay homage to the fantastic Stevie Nicks. You all must know Stevie... she was a member of the group Fleetwood Mac back in the day as well as an amazing solo artist. A lot of the Reps know about her because of her guest appearance on American Horror Story: Coven. I have always been a big fan of Ms. Nicks and I thought this would be a great tribute for the girls and I to do. Since this is a shoot with a boho vibe I wanted to take advantage of the gorgeous Forest Park and show off these beautiful girls. The girls were able to do a bit of research on Stevie and were able to channel her coolness in their own boho hippy vibe. I love this shoot and only wish I could share it with her greatness Stevie Nicks. Enjoy!!!!

  

Back to school - Making Movie Magic

Hey guys thanks for coming back!! We had so much fun on this shoot. (shoot we always have fun HA!) I happened across this meme on pinterest showing school themed movies from different era's. Here let me show you....

pretty cool huh? After seeing this I decided that it would be so cool to do my own rendition of this. So many other photographers do a back to school shoot and I thought let's take it up a notch and portray the movies. The girls and Adam really got into it. I found it odd that several of the kids had never seen Heathers or Clueless so I made it a point to get them to watch the movies. I think it really helps to get them into character. Here is a list of the girls and what character they are portraying.

Grease - 
Gracie - Marty
Kenzie - Jan
Samantha - Sandy
Adam - Danny

Heathers -
Ashley - Veronica
Sarah - Heather Duke
Caitlinn - Heather Chandler
Adam - JD

Clueless - 
McCaully - Cher

Mean Girls - 
Ashley - Gretchen
Samantha - Karen
Swan - Regina

I hope you love this shoot, it was a ton of work but so worth the effort! Oh and Happy Back to School everyone!
