Blue Bell Farm, as soon as I walked into this venue for the first time I knew I wanted to create a beautiful styled shoot! Mayumi and Alezandra, the lovely twin sisters you see below, volunteered to play dress up for the afternoon and model these stunning wedding dresses from Bridal Bliss Designs! I wanted the entire shoot to feel whimsical and relaxed with floral pieces that represented the summer, all created by Addie Jane’s Originals. Of course we live in Missouri and the weather had a different plan for us that afternoon… Throughout the entire shoot we felt rain drops, but that didn’t stop us from creating these beautiful images. Plus with the amazing help of Jade, our Hair and Makeup Artist, we had nothing to worry about when it came to the rain! Even if it had rained all afternoon, we had the privileged of playing with Blue Bell Farm’s newly hatched baby chicks, so sweet!

To top off this beautiful shoot, I was finally able to purchase and use the wonderful Contax 645, the grandaddy of all Film Cameras. To say I’m excited about this camera is quite the understatement.  There are a few beautiful film snaps below, see if you can pick them out among the rest!
