Addie's Vintage Portrait Session


Eeeek!!!  I’m so excited to finally post on the blog one of my favorite sessions!!  The session you are about to see has been in the works for quite some time.  I’ve held a desire to photograph a 1940s styled shoot since my first couple years of photographing portraits. 

On the opening day of the Fayetteville Farmers Market this year, I drove an hour and a half from Missouri to enjoy the market and also hit up the local vintage clothing store, Cheap Thrills, and 410 Vintage to check for props and furniture.  Finding a model was also a task to conquer, I needed someone who fit the look and feel of 1940s. 

Adeliene was the perfect model for this session and I couldn’t haven been happier with how everything turned out!  A special shout out to the vintage hairstyle provided by Rachel Bray and make-up at MAC in Northwest Arkansas with Ann.  We used the old Powell Bridge in Southwest Missouri as a backdrop and my sweet neighbor was kind enough to let us use the homemade suspension bridge on his property for one of the photo locations which has been in his family for decades.

This session was a dream come true and I’m so thankful for all those who took part in it or volunteered their time to help create a work of art in the form of beautiful photographs!!
