Veiled Photo Shoot Reveals True Beauty

She’s thirteen. Life is just beginning. Her confidence and courage are just beginning to blossom as she finds out who she is in the world and who she wants to be.

Capturing these moments… the beauty reflected in her eyes and the texture in her soul… are life-affirming.

Today we celebrate the reality that all those years ago Ms. Audrey had it right. It’s the very reason for her enduring charm and connection with girls and women of today. She held a mystique and grace so rarely found in our everyday lives.

Isn’t it time to recapture some of that lost elegance and soul?

      Thanks Jen! I love Audrey too. Maybe I’ll do an entire series of images with quotes from her!

      How is your 365 going?

      • Jennifer Folz

        365 going well, of course some nights is gets pretty late before I get a chance to make and image :) I hope you do the series with her quotes, it would be beautiful I am certain.

          I understand completely! See if you can plan a workflow of everything involved in a daily shoot so you can build your habit more easily!

    What a wonderful idea for a photo. My granddaughter has a new formal for a pageant and it would be great for a veil shot.

      Thanks Rosie! There is so much you can do with a pageant dress other than standard images! Last month we did a shoot of a pageant dress with cowboy boots in a horse stall. :)
