My good friend Stephanie Simpson and I collaborated around the idea of getting her some pictures to build her portfolio and showcase her work as a hair stylist, mainly done for weddings and other formal events. We decided it would be even more fun to style it as a vintage shoot, ask our girlfriends to be our models, and make an afternoon of it. Stephanie styled herself as well as our two other models, Melissa Ward and Chelsea Campbell; they all looked absolutely beautiful and I was in photographer heaven getting to shoot these stunning ladies and all of the details.

Stephanie is in the process of putting together a blog for her business, but in the meantime, if you’d like to contact her, be her friend on Facebook:) What did we do before Facebook?! I guess email, but FB is so much more fun!

Thanks, ladies, for such a fun afternoon! You all looked stunning
