Glam Sessions

The last Glam Session of the year is tomorrow, and I just realized I never posted photos from the last ones. So here ya go! 

Gorgeous Amy. I know this doesn't mean anything if you don't know my sister. But if you do, don't they almost look like twins?! It was a little twilight zone-ish looking at her through the camera. Felt like Kelly was right there. Only not. (boo) 

These next two are my favorites of her set. She has the most stunning eyes, doesn't she? She brought bazillions of awesome accessories. And our mutual friends Tara and Cara were there to hang out. So it was just fun playing dress up and hanging out together. 

Dell has a fun story behind her shoot. Her husband happened to be watching the last time I was on Living in January. So HE was the one to call me and purchase a session for her (I LOVE WHEN BOYS DO THAT). Then on the day of the shoot he even stopped by with roses for her. So sweet.

Kelly just makes me wish I could love the gym. Such good things can happen to a body when you embrace the pain of that place. 

Remember cutie pattootie Kris? She has so many more amazing shots, but I'm not showing them because they were for her anniversary.  :)

My friend Ranita. These were for her hubbie, and also to celebrate her 40th birthday. I can hear some 40 year olds smashing tomatoes into their computer screen right now. I know I want to do it, and I'm 35!

My friend Shannon. She might be one of the people I admire most on this whole planet. Besides just being a really sweet person, she's a partner at Bridgeway, which is a foundation dedicated to finding ways to end genocide. She is exceedingly brave, with an equally rare depth of compassion. I'm continually in awe of her, and of all that she does in this world. 

It's probably fair to say that the red lipstick was slightly (okay mostly) peer-pressured onto her by me and Robyn. And it was probably a slight (okay major) departure for her. But she was a great sport about it. :)

Thank you to each and every single beautiful lady who joined us for these shoots, and for any of the other ones in the past. If my life ever slows down for more than two seconds, I'm tossing around the idea of putting together a girls' night for anyone who has every done a Glam Session. Wouldn't that be fun?!

It is always so much fun getting to know everyone. And this weekend will be extra special because my friend and fellow photographer, KATE MEFFORD, who I haven't seen since WPPI 08 is coming down to rock her own session out! Can't wait to see her! 

It's so hard to believe this will be my last Glam Session for the rest of the 2009. This year is FLYING.

These Glam Sessions - and all of your photographic work, really - are actually major contributions to women's lives. You bring out their beauty, polish it and show it off. Every single person out there deserves such treatment, and bit by bit you're bringing it to them. Keep on rocking it, Maile dear.
