Okay, so last of the vacation photos, before I get back to posting client pictures.
Amy and I spent Christmas with her parents in East Texas. I’ve posted before about their sleepy little town, and how much I love to spend a few days there. The nostalgic Americana thing is so thick you can taste it. It’s especially nice at the holidays, where there’s lots of time to just hang around in your pajamas, and play games together, and watch old christmas movies, and eat a lot.
This year, I’m not sure exactly what was going on, but at one point Amy and her mom emerged from a back room with a ton of fabulous old cloths. This amazing Faux-fur coat, and pretty awesome cape, some lovely gloves. I’d of course brought my camera along, because I really wanted to get back in the East Texas woods to experiment with this idea I had. When Amy found the fabulous wardrobe stash, she suddenly was really into the idea of doing a shoot for fun. So off we went. It’s pretty great to be married to someone who’s willing to model any time I want her to. And she must have been feeling super inspired by the clothes, because she really got her model face on.
So without further commentary, here are some of my favorite shots of Amy’s Christmas glamour shoot.
We started off at this old shack we found.
the light was still a little strong for what I really wanted to do there, but it was about perfect for getting some shots back in the trees, so we hit the road and found a good place to take a little hike.
The sun was heading down fast enough I wanted to try my hand back at the shack, so we headed back into town. Stopped off at this old theatre.
And finally back at the shack. These are directly inspired by one of my favorite Tori Amos songs.
