You Sea Weslee, 5/12/12

With quite a ways to drive, Weslee and her awesomely "indigo" mother (haha, kind of an insider!) came over and we just had a blast.

I first spotted Weslee when she walked in a Carolina Herrera show for Dallas Fashion Week a few months ago and fell in LOVE with her hair. We finally scheduled a shoot, and I couldn't be more excited. These shots were taken with natural window lighting in my parents sun room–check it out.

Vintage wedding dress belonged to Weslee's Great Grandmother in 1912.

Dress from Forever 21.

Dress from H&M.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Weslee and her mom were awesome enough to bring extra clothing with them to shoot in and actually didn't realize that Weslee's great Grandmother's wedding dress was mixed in with some of the other dresses that were zipped up in a coat bag. I was SO excited and so interested. The dress was beautiful!

Painted the ship with an antique white acrylic and bought the pretty shell from Hobby Lobby :)

That store has definitely stayed successful thanks to me, SHEESH. 

The wonderfully talented Charleigh working on Weslee's hair! Girl to the left is sweet sweet Aubrey, there to help assist :)

Rafael working his magic on Weslee. Love him! I actually had a makeup artist planned for this shoot but was unable to make it at the last minute, so Rafael came to the rescue. For one thing, I live very far from... well, basically civilization, and Rafael was such an angel by driving a long distance just to work incredibly fast and drive back to make it to work in time. Thank you, Rafael! :)
