ReVamped

We are starting a new creative series called Revamped.  Weekly this spring we will bring you new images inspired by images or people from the 20s, 30s, 40s.
This week our session was inspired by Dancer Marion Benda who appeared in several Ziegfeld productions during the 1920's. We had found the left image on the FB site "Ziegfeld Follies Tribute "Glorifying the American Girl".

Titanic Weekend.

This past weekend I was not able to attend Titanic weekend with The Commonwealth Vintage Dancers due to other obligations with Krzystyna Harber Photography. I did however send our event photographer Liz Paonessa.
Here is the event in her own words.

I had the honor of photographing the Commonwealth Vintage Dancers’ Titanic Vintage Dance Weekend in Salem, Massachusetts. It was an amazing weekend to honor the 100^th anniversary of the Titanic’s ill-fated voyage. On Saturday I attended their formal tea luncheon at the gorgeous Hawthorne Hotel’s Grand Ballroom. I have never been to an event quite like this one! The period outfits immediately astounded me and I felt like I had gone back in time and was on the Titanic. Then I found out that many of the clothing and accessories were handmade! I had a great afternoon photographing everyone and meeting all the people in the Dancers. The crowd was made up of people from all over New England, from costume makers to re-enactors, teachers to everyday people.

In the evening there was a formal dinner and Grand Ball in the Colonial Hall at Rockafella’s. The live orchestra lit up the ballroom and had everyone dancing the night away. They performed Ragtime era dances headed by Barbara Pugliese as Dancemaster. Everyone was led in a group dance sequence, which was so much fun to photograph. There was a great mix of age groups with even teenagers dancing with humongous smiles on their faces. If I had thought the outfits at the Tea were amazing, the ones at the Ball blew me away! Exquisite ball gowns, tiaras, and large hats filled the room.

This weekend was a great experience and loved working with the Commonwealth Vintage Dancers. I hope to see their upcoming Newport Vintage Dance Week July 28 through August 4 where they will be at the finest ballrooms in Newport’s famous mansions! I also would love to see them in the studio!

Mad Men Party Boston

We had such a great time Monday evening with the Canadian Club and Stuff Magazine Mad Men Party at The Hawthorne in Boston. Simony of Rosebud Salon had done an amazing job with the models from Preston Marketing Concepts. We took a walk upstairs to the lobby of the Hotel Commonwealth and did these shots.

The Style of Mad Men is changing with the times where petticoats are turning into mini skirts. Simony had styled our models more mid sixties to set the mood of the night.

Creative Session with Belle Gunz

We were very excited to start off the spring with a creative session with Belle Gunz.

Wonderful styling by Lady Luck Boutique.
