Oihana and Irene!

These girls traveled all the way from Spain to stay with GRACE and her husband as exchange students! That is far to travel with strangers, stay with people you have never met before, and live in a new country for six weeks! Brave! During their visit Grace wanted to give them something to take home with them…something that would serve as a way to remember their time here. A styled photo shoot was a way to give the girls the model treatment and give them photos as a way to remember their United States adventure. The girls were thrilled!

 

Grace’s thoughts as she styled the shoot…

“I got all my inspiration from these girls and who they naturally are. Both are very fun and lovable with great confidence. As we looked through magazines the girls pointed out makeup they liked along with some hair styles they didn’t! We used clothes that they already had. Their hair is AMAZING already! Oihana had never used a curling iron and both of the girls aren’t used to someone putting makeup on them. I am pretty sure blue is Oihana’s favorite. She wanted everything from her fingernails to the color of her eyeshadow to be bright blue! She is such a gem….always smiling and is up for anything. Irene was meant to be in front of the camera. She knew how to move and what looked good. Her hair is naturally curly so we just added a bit of curl to what she already had. I love her hair! With her makeup we stayed with brown tones on her eyes. This photo shoot was simple yet one of my favorites! Getting these girls ready was easy and exciting.”

 

We did the shoot in a room here at the factory where the studio is located…love this room. SO much natural light pouring through the windows.

This shoot only lasted about 20 minutes…and I Iove what we captured.  Clean cut and simple. Colorful. Vibrant. Pretty light. Laughter and fun.

Here is to you….and a BEAUTIFUL day.
