What do you get when you take two friends, a plethora of historical gowns, and two large Pumpkin Spice Lattes? A wonderfully fun time with some fabulous pictures to prove it!

A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to photograph a large portion of my historical gown stock using real life models. So armed with a fully charged camera, my friend Cassandra and I braved the rainy and slightly chilly elements over the past two weekends to photograph some really stunning images! And since there are so many pictures to see, I will just get right to it!!

I hope you enjoy!!!

Oh and one last picture of Cassandra discovering the most perfect fall leaf of all….lovingly named “Leif Erikson”

All of these gowns are available on my Etsy Shop!

I hope you enjoyed these photos as they were an absolute delight to take!

Have a fabulous Monday!!

After a solid week of sewing for 12 hours a day, I was able to meet my goal of sewing seven Regency Era pieces! It was a big accomplishment and one not likely to be tried again…at least for a few weeks! 🙂

After finishing all these pieces, I really wanted to take their pictures outside. Up to this point, all pictures of my gowns have been taken in my sewing studio, but this time, I wanted something different. Not to far from my house is a little park that I knew would be the perfect place. So early one morning, I loaded up my car and took off for a little adventure. Despite the fact I really should have worn boots (mud galore), the overall experience was wonderful, and I am very pleased with my first attempt at outdoor photography!
