Up then You're Down.

You've seen my super chic, superfly model friend, Stephanie Kendall many a-time here - most recently strutting her stuff, all glammed UP on a runway in Indianapolis.

About a month ago i gave you a glimpse of her beau's shoot with me {featuring Diablo} and, as promised before, finally have a few of her shots. :)

It's funny to me because this post is OH-SO different from my last - can you tell i like to mix it up?

Steph is a grand-tastic model because she has RANGE - previous posts i've done with her have gone from somber to sexy, saintly to silly ... I'm not quite sure how to describe this shoot, but the first word that pops to mind is VAMPY - as a compliment, of course! ;)
I'd call this a boudoir shoot and she brought IT, as usual - wee!

Happy 1st day of June! There's more where these came from, so stay tuned {they won't disappoint}.

Don't be blue {in the next she's purple}.



She has a lovely profile, eh?


THIS is why i deemed her VAMPY in this excerpt ... still a knockout, whatever look or character she takes on.


UP! {she's random - in a GREAT way - hence the title of this bloggy post}


DOWN.

Recently I attended this cool Indianapolis 3-day photography conference at the Omni Severin in downtown Indy called OSP Indy.

I discovered it through a photog friend of mine. It was VERY cool and informative for young photogs like myself!
It was a fantastic way to network and learn about photography do's and don'ts, trends, business tips, and the like.
I met loads of rad fellow photogs from across the MidWest - not just the Naptown. I was quite surprised at just how many folks from out of state attended this event, which was cool!

One of the most fun things {out of the many fun things ;)} we did was a retro fashion shoot with a few of our fellow photogs there. If you follow my blog in any way you know I go GA-GA for annnnything RETRO+VINTAGE, sooo I was THRILLED, to say the least, when I got to follow around Brandi Brown like paparazzi for a couple of hours. ;)

It was a breezy afternoon but we all had a blast shooting this hottie!


Snaps to photographer KC Ferrell for sponsoring the event. :)

Enjoy!

Brandi channeling Ms. Mary Tyler Moore, heh.


Brandi and the City!


Lady needs a little primp.


I would simply looovvvve a pair of kicks like these!!


Now THIS is pure Brandi Brown!


Who wouldn't want a big, fat smooch from this hott mama?? :)

stylish stephanie: Fashion Circa 1900

i had been absolutely DYING to do a shoot, PARTICULARLY a fashion shoot, for some time now.
fortunately, my gawgeous pal and model, stephanie, was available and game for a shoot!
like i said, i'm working on something BIG {a secret for now} and this shoot is going towards that certain project. :)
i needed to shoot a model in a costume from any era {like my featured shoot last week with kris}. considering costumes aren't just a regular ole thing to have around on hand, other than during the grand month of October, the fact that she is a full-time model and has adorable, valid costumes made this perfect AND much fun!!

we took several themed shots that day - so don't be surprised if you see a lot more of steph on my bloggy. ;)
THANKS again, lovely!! {and to my super mom, who acted as my set assistant that afternoon}

please let me know what ya think!
