I can’t believe it finally happened.  What started as a crazy idea a few months ago, finally came into fruition.  The first annual LGP Fashion Show was a huge success.  Thanks to everyone who came to  the show.  We hope you had as much fun as we did.   Together we raised $1620 for Shelter Care.

The fashion show featured 16 of our senior and junior models from  different schools in Lane and Linn County and some amazing boutiques.  Special thanks goes out to Kymmi and Katelynn from Francesca’s, Marjorie and Amber  from Velvet Edge, and Britanny and the staff at Torrid for providing your amazing styles for the models to strut down the runway! To the one and only Chelsea from Lavish Bronzing Boutique, Bryar and  Chikara Salon and Spa, I can’t thank you enough for  hair and makeup.  A special shout out to Chelsea for hanging out with the models back stage and  for providing last minute touch ups to the models.  I can’t forget the parents of the models.  Thanks for putting up with my demanding schedule.  To Matt Hoecker for doing video for us on a last minute notice and to my friend Michelle from MJ’s Photography for capturing these images.  Of course I can’t forget to thank our amazing support team who volunteered their time to make the show possible.  Thank you Sara Dickson, Michlle Pollard, Leslie Santiago, Barbara Santiago, Meghan Ramirez and Curt Gillis, you guys are simply the best!     And to Shelter Care, thank you for all that you do to better our community!

Lydia Gillis Photography and support team have already started the processes for next year’s fashion show.  If you are Class of 2017 you are going to want to be part of this.   See you next year at our second annual LGP Fashion Show charity event!
