Patriotic Fashion Looks on Memorial Day

For the past year, I've been drawn to vintage apparel that was either red, white, and/or blue. After I collected several pieces, I decided that I would style a few patriotic fashion looks. I met model, Victoria Gibson, on Facebook and I loved her classic look that reminds me of 60s fashion model, Twiggy.  Maybe it's in the lips... I felt she would be perfect for my vision and she was! Well, here is the first looks of the series....(Yes, series! I have more red, white, and blue vintage fashion than I thought...glad there's another patriotic holiday coming up! #staytuned)

Ballet Inspired Fashion Photography with Lisa Byrd Thomas

My love was estate sale shopping (without me...gasp!) a couple months ago and met a fellow stylist here in Memphis. Lisa Byrd Thomas has been styling for many years and she also sells vintage apparel. Since we had so much in common, he suggested we meet and exchanged our contact information. When I checked out her blog, Hip Fashion Stylist, it was clear that our style was very similar and of course, I wanted to work with her! She was inspired by ballet for the test shoot we did with Ballet and jazz dancer, Morgan.
