Every year I have the privilege to work with the beautiful staff of Bloom Skin Spa.  Our first time together last year we had a blast capturing some really fun head shots.  You may remember them in this post here.

This year we decided to ramp it up a bit and bring in my fabulous hair & make-up artist Elaine with Elaine Harrison Makeup Artistry.     The staff was very excited when they saw their images – I blogged their images last week &you can view them here.

So now for the final piece.

I spent about an hour of this day with the absolutely stunning owner & mother of three young children, Amber.  She wanted to capture fresh fashion inspired portraits.

  I had a fun time experimenting with some creative editing as well with textures and color, a bit out of my norm but fun to do & I’m really happy with the results!

Here are some of my favorites.

More fun with texture & color …

Amber has an amazing and quite adorable husband … meet Ken & Barbie!

.

They have a really incredible relationship.

Laughter is one of the keys to love, I always say…

.

We switched things up and ended her shoot with some Brigitte Bardot inspired images… and I must say, she pulls this look off  quite effortlessly.

.

Oh Amber, you even make giant hair rollers look good!

.

And I pretty much had to beg her to let me share this, although I’m not sure why because she has so much natural beauty, inside AND out!

A before & after …

Thank you Amber for another enjoyable photo shoot with you

On a side note, I have definitely found a niche with my work that I am very excited about & actively working to expand.  A portrait couture studio is in sights!

If you are interested in more details about a shoot,  please email kathy@kathyhowardphotography.com and I will send you more details.

Together we will plan your ultimate dress up session, and capture images that will thrill & empower you every time you look at them!

I would be honored to capture the light that shines from inside of you.  It’s an experience you will treasure.
