With winter here, a chill in the air, and Christmas just around the corner it is a perfect time to do a Winter Styled Shoot, and that is what I had the great fun of doing last week. I attended a styled shoot designed and hosted by Kristen Lynne Photography http://kristenlynneblog.com/, and what fun we all had! Thanks, Kristen for putting this together, and giving us the opportunity to try some different things, and the chance to meet some other photographers in the area! I know I had a great time, and I think that we all did.

It was a gorgeous day even though it was a bit chilly and windy, but it is December after all! The models were very gracious and allowed us to take pictures to our hearts content! Thanks to each of you: Liz, Brittany, Katherine, Sarah & Chase! You all did an outstanding job, and your pictures are just GORGEOUS!!

Styled portrait sessions are a lot of fun, and something that I like to offer clients that are interested in this kind of portrait session. With a little extra effort you can have a very nice themed portrait session and end up with some spectacular photos that will for sure become a treasured heirloom for generations to come. I particularly like designing children's styled sessions as well as newborns and babies.

This styled session focused on beauty, fun, and couples. Thanks to some very thoughtful planning by Kristen, and all of the vendors who helped make the vision a reality she ended up offering to us photographers a dream photo session! From the facility, the furniture, flowers, wardrobe, hair and make-up we had the pleasure of getting some absolutely gorgeous portraits of everyone. To finish off the evening we  were all treated to a wonderful dinner and great conversation.

Here is a list of the vendors that provided the items, and services for the styled shoot. Each one did a superb job in making this a success!
