Two business join forces to offer the ultimate senior experience!  That is the big news for today!

I have been missing for a while so things have been kind of quiet around her.  That is because so much has been happening lately.  Go grab a cup of coffee and let me bring you up to date with all that is going on with  LGP.

Last year I decided to completely redefine the senior experience for  Class of 2016. I spent most of January meeting with 2016 models and their parents.  I am so excited to be working with some amazing models this year.  I will be sharing more about my models and all we have plan for the year later.

February was my training month.  As a professional photographer it is extremely important that I continue my education and network with other photographers that share the same vision and passion for the industry.  So for me it is a priority that I make it to at least  one conference a year.  This year I have three on the books.  Had my first two back to back in February.  Another reason  I have been kind of quiet. Lots of pictures and stories to come.

But now to why I am really writing this post.  One of my goals for 2015 was to partner with a clothing boutique.  Earlier this year I met with Kymmi from Francesca’s at  Oakway Center.  We shared our visions and goals over a  cup of coffee and immediately knew this was meant to be!  Francesca’s and Lydia Gillis Photography have joined forces and we are working together so that we can provide the ultimate senior portrait experience for modern and fashionable seniors who want the very best there is.

I met with Kymmi yesterday to talk about our first model photo shoot later this month.  Signs of spring were everywhere!  Francesca’s spring line is to drool for.  I can not wait for Kymmi to style my models later this month.  So grateful to partner with a boutique who’s heart and passion is to serve others.

Here are some pictures I took yesterday while I was at the boutique.  Please stop by and say “Hi” to the staff and if you see something you like make sure to grab it as things are always rotating and it may not be there next time.  To help with that I am giving away a $20 gift certificate to one lucky person.  All you need to do is leave a comment at the end of this post and I will announce the winner on Tuesday, March 10th.  Good luck!

Francesca’s has one of the best selection in jewelry. Love these next two outfits.  The beach is calling me somewhere.Francesca’s also has an array of gifts.  There is something for every girl!Yes, they even have items for  brides! How cute are these luggage tags?They even have private events.  Make sure you contact them for more information and schedule your girls night out!Spring is definitely in the air!  These colors make me happy.I couldn’t agree more!

Ok these are my favorite.  If you know me, you know I am a sucker for anything nautical! Oh yay, and right now Francesca’s is having a sale.  Not sure for how long so you better hurry.  This is an awesome deal and you don’t want to miss it.  When you go make sure to let them know we sent you.  Thanks for stopping by make sure to leave a comment bellow for the chance to win a $20 gift certificate.  Winner will be announced on Tuesday, March 10th!
