A Best Friend Photo Shoot …

fairies

The very day school got out this Summer Hannie B. approached me with an idea. She wanted to do a fun photo shoot with her best friend Nicole with my help. I told her we could definitely do that.

Then Summer happened in full force and were were overwhelmed with camps, vacations and other random things. I inadvertently let the idea slip my mind.

Fast forward to just a few weeks before school was starting and she came to me again so sad that her plan hadn’t materialized. I told her if she wanted it to happen, she and Nicole had to put a plan together: color scheme, props, location, hair and makeup ideas and any poses they wanted for the shoot. I would provide a camera and my faker photographer skillz.

Then the weather became our enemy. Too sunny. Too rainy. Too windy. You name it.

Finally, a perfect day presented itself. Actualy, it was really hot and midafternoon, which isn’t ideal because the sun is high and leaves harsh shadows on faces, but we came up with a solution that would leave most of our shooting locations in shade.

The girls brought an iPad with tons of poses they’d found on Pinterest. I helped them do their hair. Hannie B. provided the flower headbands. And the gorgeousness? Well, they just brought that all by themselves.

Enjoy Hannah and Nicole’s Best Friend Photo Shoot.
