Being Vintagey in Missouri: Day Two (Pt 1)

My second day in Missouri with Brittany was a world wind! We were tired from staying up late and prepping for the shoot but we were rearing to go! Our photographer, Monica Moore drove in from Illinois and was truly divine to work with. She was at ease with herself and her abilities as a photographer, a combination I haven't worked with in a while.

Brittany and I dressed up and modeled through four decades. We started with the rock 'n rollin' 1950's, then the patriotic 1940's, the mod 1960's, and ended the day with the roarin' 1920's/30's. I am sooo happy to share with you a sneak peak of our work together. I placed the photos in chronological order because I thought  it would be neat to see the transitions. It was so much fun to play dress up and to model with my friend. I personally didn't feel tired until the very end of the day. It hit me like a ton of bricks and I realized how hard we really worked on these shoots. I do hope you like them! They will be used mainly for our emagazine, Hey Doll! Vintage Magazine.
I had so much fun with Brittany and Monica. I couldn't have asked for a better shoot than this. It was just pure fun and a joy to do. That is the way a photo shoot should feel like.

We ended our day with a bang,  but you have to tune in tomorrow to see what we did!

Did you like our photos? What sort of fun photo shoots would you like to do one day?

  1. Oh, I love how your photos turned out!! You and Brittany look fab in these! If I had to choose a photo shoot, I'd love to do a Rosie the Riveter photo shoot since she's one of my major fashion inspirations.

  2. Love those pictures!!! The first one is really nice!
    I would love to have a photo shoot at Studio HARCOURT a french parisian studio that still exists. They are making B&W portraits since almost 100 years... So many stars have been pictured by them!

  3. You both look fabulous as always!!! The 40's one is definitely my favorite! If I were to have my choice of photo shoots, I'd love to attempt recreating some photos of my grandma in the 40's or 50's including trying to make some dresses similar to what she's wearing in them...of course, my sewing skills will need to advance a bit further, ha ha, but I can dream. :)
