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!

you're not welcome inside this little cabin ...

LOVE her intense eyes here! work it, work it! :)

kris: man on the street

i'm working on something BIG ... but i can't tell you, YET.
this shoot is part of IT ... about a week ago i put a request up on facebook and myspace for ANYONE with a era-specific costume piece to give me a holler so i could shoot him/her. welp, my pal kris was the first to offer something (a WWII pilot helmet) so a few days ago we hit the mean, bitter FRIGID streets of indianapolis.
i wanted to do a shoot in the mall, but a policeman on one of those silly Segway deals told us we weren't allowed ::shakes fist::. instead, we froze downtown, taking great relief in a bar and borders along the way.

fun tidbit: kris is also a photog - for NUVO Newsweekly and other rad freelance work.
i am EVERSOOO grateful to kris-stoff for taking a step on the opposite side of the lens to chill (literally!) and do some quirky, random shots!! :)

enjoy and discuss!

QUITE the patriot.




pilot with a softer side (i made him do this, of course).


the coachmen let kris take the reigns - woo!




not frosty!!


wwII pilot, space ship - eh, eh?

lauren+steven: can't get enough

as the title states - i simply adored the photos i took with my couple of last week's bloggy, so i'm featuring them again this week. i'm not lazy, i swear it! too many silly, stupendous photo opps. ;)
i actually JUST got finished editing all of the pics from this SO i'm feeling pretty relieved and accomplished!
enjoy browsing through the jumble of some of my final favs!
and, in case i don't post again before Thanksgiving - HAVA HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!!

xoxo - lala


@ the wedding rehearsal: daddy 'n' daughter. {this is one of the bride's favs of the evening :) }

the bride's cuz {aka: my 10-year-old pal that day - she was too cool!}


messiest bride+groom cake cutting i've seen - YET. it was a riot to watch! :P


QUITE a bouquet toss as well! these gals were fun!

CONGRATS, KIDS!!!

lauren + steven = a backyard wedding!

i'm horrible.
i've meant to post sooner buuut, yeah ... no spectacular excuses. sorry!! :)
so, lauren and steven are my most recent wedding that i am currently editing still. i had a BLAST with them and the party! everyone was really down home, friendly and laid back. the weather was gorgeous and the wedding was held in a quaintly gorgeous backyard (where at least 4 weddings have been held previously - i think).

i'm DYING to do a new shoot ... CALL ME (see my web site www.laisallyouneed.com) and schedule a shoot with meee!! i may just cut ya a thanksgiving deal ... ;)

enjoy and please do post comments, kids!
xoxo


how cute are these? :)


the bride and groom's wittle girl! she was VERY rambunctious!


this is my FAVOURITE of these two!!! lauren's little grin is perrrfect - she totally reminds me of christina ricci and i love that!




this is one of my favourites. EVER. ;)






mother + daughter. :)


we were all STARVING, waiting for the wedding to begin ... Pringles were also meant to keep the flower girl distracted (aka: good) while walking down the aisle (great). heh.


the bridesmaids were so fun and adorable. :)

Happy 1st birthday + Halloween-y!! ...

to my buddy, Jackson - that is. :)

let me just say that i've been dying to shoot this little guy ever since i met him (my friend shannon's 1st kiddie). i would say you can definitely categorize this 1-year-old dude as a baby heart throb.
if you couldn't tell, he is curious george and his daddy, the man in the yellow hat - ALMOST makes me want a little babe of my own! ;P

please post comments and enjoy!

i think jackson wants to be the star here. :P




FAVOURITE. ^_^
