Bloggin' Bride

Can I tell you how excited I am to be shooting Stephanie's wedding!? This girl is on FIRE! She lives in St. Lake, UT and I haven't officially met her yet... but we've talked on the phone, played email ping-pong... and.... we've blogged. She started a wedding blog to document her inspirations and the planning of her big day... and quite the fantastic writer she is! She was recently chosen to write yet ANOTHER guest post on Elizabeth Anne Designs about planning her wedding and choosing her photographer (a-hem!).  Check it out here! Great job as usual Steph... can't wait for your big day! eanne

Pretty as a Pin-Up! (Vintage Style)

/

What is it about old classic/vintage artwork that is so........ endlessly appealing?  I've loved vintage artwork since my grade school days when I spent hours on end drooling over Normal Rockwell paintings in a beat up old book my parents used to keep on the living room coffee table.  Since then, I've gathered and studied books of old master's classic pin-up paintings, looking forward to the day when time/energy/resources would permit me to pay tribute to the old classics in a new way, offering my clients a ridiculously cool and unique portrait experience. It's finally here & it's all yours!

I've amassed a collection of vintage wardrobe pieces and have teamed up with two fabulous hair and make-up stylists (Lindsay Epperson & Casey Kaufman) to offer you nothing short of a total transformation! Pin-up portraits make great gifts for husbands, husbands-to-be, and... of course... yourself!  Bachelorette parties? You bet 'cha! Contact me for more info!

Here's what some of the gals have said so far... "What an experience! I never knew I had "it" in me to suddenly pop my hips and give a smirk! The hair, makeup, clothes and accessories truly transformed me for the day. In the end, your energy and direction made me an iconic, classy pinup!"  -- Christina
