I am continuing with my “Fashion Friday” post and today I am super excited to share with you this amazing “Classy on the Streets”  session.

The idea for this shoot started one day when Sheryl from Beausoleil Bridal Boutique and I met for an iced chia latte (Sheryl’s first chia latte and she loved it!)  to discuss ways we could team up and help promote our businesses.  Being a business owner, it is important for me to network with other local businesses and try to offer my services any way I can.  We both agreed that it would be great to have a Formal photo session and use the images to market for a Fashion Show for later this year.  Over the next few weeks I will be sharing with you more about the Fashion Show and all the fun details.  Eeeeek!  So excited I get to be part of this!

We had these beautiful formal gowns for the shoot but we still needed some models and Sheryl also felt we need to invite Mr Formal to collaborate with use to complete the shoot.  So grateful for  Mr Formal for their willingness to work with us.  If you ever need a tuxedo Debbie from Mr Formal is your gal.  I promise she will take good care of you!

I want to give a big SHOUT OUT to 4th Dimension Salon and Corina Tsuda for helping out at the very last minute with hair and make up.  This team of professionals really saved the day.  I can not thank them enough for their willingness to help and their servant’s  heart!

We put out a model call for high school students from different local schools and I am so glad for all these amazing models that so graciously gave up their Saturday to hang out with me.

And before I share all the glamour and beauty, I want to say a huge “THANKS” to Sheryl from Beausoleil Bridal Boutique for believing in me and all my crazy ideas.  Sheryl, I so I appreciate you and your friendship!
