Jenn is a model and mother to a four year old. As she is no stranger to the photo shoot scene, I was impressed that she knows how to move and could pull off a look even with huge feathers sticking out of her head!

This is the first time I have used a light blue background in the studio. I usually stick with gray seamless as that is the look I see in magazines.

Grace did a regal look for Jenn’s first style. It went beautifully with the ivory floorlength Maggie Sotaro wedding gown. The feathers remind me of “the Duchess” — have you seen that movie?

For the second styling, Jenn wore her own blue and white gown with an embroidered train, and Grace did a sort of 80s-glam rock look with asymmetrical hair, sparkly eyes, and all kinds of attitude. I’ve never seen styling quite like that before! (Go Grace!)

I chose to actually leave elements of the studio in a lot of the photos from this shot. I’ve noticed magazines doing that a lot in the past several months, and I like how raw and real it looks. I’m not a “flawless photo of impossibly airbrushed woman” kind of photographer, know what I mean?
