Teaser Picks from AWESOME kid shoot! – OR- hanging out with a Prom Queen and a Rock Star!

Hayley and Kiera and are a hoot…kick in the pants…absolute riot…All three of us had a great time. We did their hair and make-up (lip gloss and a hint of blush). They were SO super excited to wear “make-up”. They wanted to put the lip gloss on themselves and I couldn’t help but get a few picks and to make it even better their hair had just come out of the curlers.

Their mom brought in some of their dress up clothes and I had a few old halloween costumes and other odds and ends at the studio. The dress below I wore in college for a halloween party. I went as Josephine Bonaparte and my date was Napoleon. When I told Hayley that she looked at me with a very quizzical look..  more like, “I think you are nuts” and said… “Well, I will be a prom queen” I wish I could take full credit for this picture. I asked Hayley to stand on the chair and she said to put her shoes down below so it would make her look extra tall. I have to admit it looks great! I think the kid is going to be an art director when she grows up.

This is a costume of Kiera’s own doing, as is the pose. She saw it later on the computer and was laughing and laughing. She said “I look like a rock star”.

Kiera as the one and only Kiera

When Kurtis gets all his magical post-production work done on the picks I will put a full blog post together. (i did the processing on these so I could share a few and I know they look OK but I know that Kurtis can make them look amazing!)

Enjoy and let me know what you think!!
