Hope you all are enjoying the posts about beautiful Savannah! I truly think it is one of the best Southern cities to visit. It has everything: living history, beauty, fun touristy things, great food and the beach! You can not get better than that! 

So in my first blog I think I gave the back story to our mission and shoot while in Savannah. Christina ,with Saved by Grace Photography ,had these vintage dresses and a vision. She organized and set up hair & make up with Wanda Christopher, who is a gem!! She did a beautiful job getting these girls ready with southern charm and beauty. Two of our models are students from a near by art school and the third is my good friend Lindsey! We grew up together and moved away when we were older. She lives in a near by town so this was a great way to connect. 

Christina and I did a lot of sight seeing while scouting for the perfect location. We decided on Forsyth Park in the heart of Historic Savannah. It is known for its street lined live oaks and beautiful landscaping . There are old antebellum homes surrounding the 30 acres of land that was donated in the early -mid 1800's. The park has paved walk ways, playground, and cafe as well as a fragrant garden. The large fountain in the center is widly known and a beautiful place to spend some time. There was a wedding taking place there the afternoon of our shoot so we were unable to take any photos with the gorgeous fountain. A little disappointing but in the end we loved our final location.

These girls were such troopers! The temperature decided to fall as the sun went down and it got very chilly ,very quick. It was such a fun experience to be a part of this Southern Belle Photoshoot. We really wanted to create a 'Gone with the Wind' feel and I believe we captured that. Take a look at some of my favorites! ( I will not going to apologize for the amount of photos in this Blog :) ) LOL

It is fun to get to do a shoot that is not for a specific client. As a creative minded person it is such a refreshing opportunity to get try new things with no pressure. Christina began directing the girls to walk towards us and laugh as though they had been friends forever. We wanted to create the feel of 3 friends out on a spring afternoon, wondering through the green grass and beautiful blooms of the park. In my opinion, these  girls rocked it! Meet our models! With out them we would just have drapes of fabric. :)

Allow me to introduce my friend Lindsey! She is one fierce woman and she depicted Scarlett O' hare from Gone with the Wind so well! I love this first image for its soft magical look. The Spanish moss give such a dreamy look while the light filters through the live oak trees. My imagination runs away with me when I see this image. I imagine a rather handsome young fellow has just paid her the sweetest of compliments. I love to tell stories through images...anybody else have that same notion? Maybe it is just me...Thank you Lindsey for being such a great sport and doing this! I look forward to another impromptu meet up some time soon!

Sweet Sarah! She rocked this beautiful green dress and those earrings ! Oh my word loved those! 

Sarah has such a striking presence and tells a story all her own in this blooming garden. This image below tells of a strong young woman, some one who is maybe waiting for something or someone. Sarah did a fantastic job making that dress and hoop skirt move so gracefully. 

Miss. Emily rounds out my introductions to these amazing young ladies. Emily is super sweet and brought a ton of laughter to our shoot. She also has a a striking ability to look fierce and strong.Her eyes show kindness and fun with a touch of innocence. Loved her spinning and playful attitude. 

I love how each model brought there own story telling abilities using there body language and facial features. They are not only beautiful ladies but super talented and amazing models!

The following images were taken on a side walk flanking Forsyth Park with gorgeous gardening and plants. I'd like to think of them as " The Secret Garden ". 

A walk at the GardenThe girls had such beautiful movement in these dresses and were having the best time sashaying down the walk way.

Lol Can you all tell I had so much fun? My imagination runs away and creates a story as I look through these images. 

Please feel free to leave a comment and share with me what comes to mind as you look through these images. I really have to thank all of you who have trusted me with your story and families these last few years as I have built my business. I truly believe taking the time to try new things has made me a better photographer and will help me continue to create priceless images for you. If you have a dream, go for it. If you have a vision , see it through. 

If you have an idea for a shoot for you or your family I would be honored to make it happen, to tell your story! Hope you all have a fantastic spring!!
