Rainy Day Photoshoot

There's only one month until the Fashion Riot show, and although I'm still currently working on my collection, it was nice to break away from the design process to take some pictures.

We were at my grandma's in Manning, IA last Saturday, and I hauled my dresses up to show her. It was nice sharing that experience with her since she's not able to make it to my shows.

It was rainy and very chilly that day so I have to say a big thank you to my sister Lacey for wearing those dresses out in the cold! And to my mom who was such a BIG help that day stepping in as my assistant.

I'm really happy with these pictures and the location we chose. I love using natural light so we had to scout out for a good location where the rain wouldn't effect us. We ended up shooting under a bridge under the railroad tracks... It was perfect. I loved the grafetti because it gave so much more character to the pictures.

This is just the first series of dresses I have in my collection...there will be more in the near future.
