Stepping Out of Her Comfort Zone

Know what is fun about shooting contemporary glamour sessions? Helping women step out of their comfort zone.

Take for example this lovely lady:

This is my beautiful cousin, Britain, who is a 37-year-old wife, mother, and proud Twilight-er. 😉

SIDE NOTE: Her mother—my aunt—painted the shirts we were wearing.

Anyway. Britain is a natural beauty who was game for me to stylize a contemporary glamour session for her—I decided I wanted her to have a “messy” up-do and Audrey Hepburn-inspired makeup, which Makeup by Takari totally nailed.

We started out doing a casual glam look.
