So a few weeks ago, my good friend Elizabeth Luna organized an amazing shoot out event in Lake Arrowhead.  The scenario – 5 gorgeous brides/models set against the beautiful backdrop of the snow/trees/mountains of Lake Arrowhead being photographed by 30 amazing photographers!!! Talk about an amazing Trash The Dress snow bridal session and a wonderufl learning experience for all of us!!! 

Let’s introduce our amazing models/brides:

I had way too many favorite pics to choose from… so I think the best way to showcase these beautiful brides would be to give each of them their own post :-)

Now first… let me introduce Amy and her sweet hubby! Amy, like I mentioned, was the awesome makeup artist!!!

In previous years, I haven’t focused too much on my senior portrait sessions… but this year I decided to showcase my amazing model seniors a lot more – afterall… they truly are as bright as their futures (I know… it sounds super cheesy, but they’re such sweet kids… they deserve some cheesy love :-) ).  I actually never call these sessions “senior portrait sessions” – I like to think as them as Senior Model Sessions – and let me tell you… I think they love feeling like models for a few hours! I love how much fun they have… they are so excited and definitely like to show their personalities.  I remember when I liked having my picture taken… back when I was in high school… now- not so much! LOL! 

Anyways… that was enough babbling… Brianda is such a sweet girl.  She is shy and sweet, yet she is so spunky that she even likes to climb on trees!! (and she did so TWICE during our fun session! LOL!).  You’re so awesome, Brianda!!!

I did my 2nd model shoot at the UCR Botanical Gardens with Dorothy, a super fun UCR student…. it was her first time modeling! I think she did awesome!  Dorothy is such a pretty and smart girl.  I loved that she was willing to do anything and go anywhere… even if it meant getting all scratched up (I hope your arm and hand are a little better now, Dorothy :-) )  – she would have climbed to the top of any rock if I asked her to – how sweet is that!  I think we both had a blast… and I hope to work with her in the future!

I just recently started doing some model shoots to develop my portfolio and just have some fun! It’s always great to shoot just for fun and to learn and grow creatively…. and this model shoot was amazing!  I had never worked with a model before, and Marlene was amazing!  Araceli and Marlene were so much fun to work with!  My goal for this shoot was to really have fun, be stylish, and be funky… and boy did we have a blast.  I will definitely be using these images for my portfolio, website, and some promotional materials. 

Thank you girls!!!!!  You were both awesome!
