Marie Antoinette & her Lady-in-waiting

Inspired by the movie Marie Antoinette (with Kirsten Dunst) I set about 3 years ago to create a portrait session with Marie Antoinette. Of course, we then had a pandemic and EVERYTHING got put on hold. But I did have the dress! So after 3 Years of planning, months of sleepless nights and lots of hard work, my vision of Marie Antoinette finally came together. In an incredible location (The Potterage), I shared with a group of photographers on one fantastic afternoon. Two models, stunning dresses and wigs all made especially for this shoot came together (Although I admit the blue dress looks more Victorian than Baroque!) still we all had an amazing afternoon. My partner in crime (as they say) was hairdresser and makeup artist Teighan Felton who made the incredible wigs!
