a study in white.

This is the second half of the shoot I posted last week.  I’m not sure how Jenny will feel about me titling this  ’a study in white’ –  we all tease her about being the pale one in the family.   ;P

These were all taken on a cloudy + rainy day in my parents’ backyard.   Jenny and I headed to Value Village for some ‘interesting’ wardrobe inspiration, and found this awesome 80’s hat/veil and old-school nightgown.   (Yes, I do realize how lucky I am to have a sister who will put on somebody’s old night gown and a hat veil just so I can have some fun.)  :D

I was inspired to shoot this after picking up the latest Grace Ormonde – love that magazine!  Here’s the cover shot by Philippe Lee that inspired me to pull out the chair:  HERE.

And here is what I came up with:

Cold, wet, dirty leaves + pretty Jenny = cool shot.

I think hat veils should come back in style.  :P  Did anyone out there (or anyone’s mother) actually wear one of these at their wedding?  I’m curious as to how popular they were…..

Second favourite:

I like this one too.  Very classic.I hope this was proof  enough that all you need for a super fun shoot is some weird old clothing and a willing model.

Get out there and make some pretty pictures!   I hope you’re all having a great Thursday.   :)
