Avon's Distinguished Young Women 2013-2014

One of the most exciting events I was asked to participate in this summer was Avon's Distinguished Young Women Program (formerly Jr. Miss).  This is a scholarship program to showcase talented young women about to enter their last year of high school.  I was a participant when I was in high school and have been active on and off with the committee in the past.  They have a full summer of fundraising, and community service, a full week of rehearsals and show prep, followed by a lengthly program right before school starts.  Ask any of these young ladies, if you are considering participating… DO IT, you won't' regret it!  Meet the amazing, talented and brave contestants of the Class of 2014.  This year's winner was Madelyn Hayes.  The state competition is THIS week in Frankfort, IN.  Good Luck Madelyn!

 

Please let me know if you'd like more information on the program and I can put you in touch!

Life is a Journey...

Every now and then it is good to take a break from the daily grind and do something creative just for yourself.  I have found that getting away from things I "have" to do and adding a few things I "want" to do can make all the difference in keeping myself motivated and inspired.  I have seen so many great photographs, great poses, great locations, and great styling that I just had to put them to good use.  This shoot was totally for fun.  Totally for our own enjoyment, and totally to be creative.
About a month ago I met with a few young ladies that I knew from my time with the dance team.  They have started journeying through the uncertainty that is college life and I knew they would be open to playing around in front of the camera for me.  These three ladies are best friends and even recently got coordinating tattoos!  They are very supportive of one another and their friendship shines through in these images.
We had a few meetings to prepare the wardrobe and location.  The girls got ready at my house and my front room looked like what I envision the wardrobe closet at a major fashion magazine looks like.  (Ugly Betty + Devil Wears Prada + Charlotte Russe = my own youthful editorial fashion fantasy).  Here are a few of my favorite shots of the day.  These ladies did such a great job, I hope everyone enjoys the images.
If you would like to set up your own stylized shoot don't hesitate to ask!
