Last Minute Model

So, I wake up, its Monday, February 7th and I have a BUSY day ahead. I plan out my day, hour by hour with the work I need to get done and head out the door to get started. Fast forward a few hours... I've already attended class, and I'm just leaving the Fashion Week office to head back to campus to write a paper... just as I pull on campus I get a call from the one and only Kathryn LaGioia! Kathryn had a photoshoot planned at RIT with a new photographer and a new model friend of hers. However, the other model ended having to cancel last minute. So, Kathryn asked me if I would be able to step in. :: a million thoughts ran through my head :: I asked for five minutes... and after re-arranging some things, I called her back and said SIGN ME UP!

We shot right at RIT in one of the studios in building 7 with photographer Meredith Brockington, her assistant Christian Scully, Hair and Makeup Robyn Fazio and Melissa Stillman. Here are some of the images from the photoshoot! Thank you to Meredith and the entire team for a WONDERFUL shoot!!!

Do I Have Popcorn in My Teeth?

The Rochester Fashion Week Photo shoot was a BLAST! I would like to thank Chantiza Stern for allowing me the opportunity to work with her and the wonderful boutique sponsors; Eye-Candy Boutique and Reckless Necklace... can't wait to share with everyone the clothes and necklace they dressed me in.

We began the day at Shear Ego with hair and makeup. I have never gotten my hair and makeup professionally done for a shoot, so I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to kick back and relax while the experts took control! Thank you to the staff who all did a fantastic job getting the models ready for the day. Special thanks to my hair stylist - Raquel Wells*, and to my makeup artist - Charlotte Miller*

Being a goof after Raquel did my hair...

**Check out their hours and schedule an appointment; let then know you found them on my blog!

Next we headed over to Paetec Park and received the outfits we would be wearing for the shoot..... let me just say, "WOW!" The clothing and jewelry were absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Once everyone was dressed, we hit the stands with our popcorn and hotdogs to "watch" a sports event. Chantiza had bought cardboard boxes with red and white stripes to put the popcorn in, and it was SO perfect. This picture is pretty close to what they looked like... how fun, right!?

((side note, the popcorn was delicious! yep, after shooting for half an hour
everyone decided they were hungry, and we all munched away at the popcorn.))

Overall it was a successful shoot and the images will be used in the brochures that are handed out at the events. Be sure to check out the Facebook page for Fashion Week of Rochester and attend the events September 30 - October 2.

Pictures to come!
