I had the absolute pleasure to be a model in a recent photoshoot in Fredericksburg, Va with my dear friend Jenny-Rose of the fabulous
Jenny la Fleur (who, incidentally, inspired me to get into costuming a hundred years ago!). She just finished cosmetology school and is an WIZARD with historical hair styles. (She's the one who did my
1790s hair last year). She and her friend Treneka, of
For the Joy Photography, were looking to collaborate on a photography session and they asked me to come along. Always a sucker for having my hair done (and getting professional photos of my
Georgian Jewelry), I agreed readily.
I arrived Saturday afternoon and was immediately given a glass of champagne and airbrushed makeup (the secret to looking pretty!). We had such a fun time, and I thought I'd share some of Treneka's exquisite photos!
I wore my "oh this old thing" crossbarr'd silk gown (which is still my favorite after a lot of wears) and my beloved
green shoes from American Duchess.

Can you even believe this amazing hair?
Here's a little background shot of Jenny-Rose fixing me up!
And, lest you think all of my pictures look this good, I can assure you that Treneka had to delete about a thousand where I am making faces like this one :)
What a fun and wonderful day! Thank you for the laughter, ladies, and for making me feel like an absolute princess!
