One of my favorite styled wedding shoots was with beautiful model Julia Vivian and floral designer Julia of Julia’s Floral Design. We set up in the garage at Artisan Alley in DeLand for some pink whimsical wedding inspiration. Dress: So Sweet Boutique Furniture: The Nest. Hair: Blake Elliot Salon and Gallery
Shyanne called me from Oklahoma telling me that she loved our photography and wanted to do a senior portrait shoot on the beach during an upcoming family vacation to Florida. I was thrilled. She was sweet and articulate, she knew just want she wanted – including images of her running into the ocean in her lime green prom dress! We had a lot of fun that day, even with the threatening storms on the horizon.
As we talked, we learned that she was quite the accomplished student and had won many awards in her dance and cheerleading career – Awarded World’s Perfect Cheerleader Super Model Title, Currently Oklahoma’s Perfect Cheerleader State Title Holder, 1st runner-up at Triple Crown Outstanding Teen Pageant, 2nd runner-up Miss Enid’s Outstanding Teen Pageant, 3rd runner-up Miss Lawton’s Outstanding Teen Pageant, 4th runner-up Miss Altus Outstanding Teen Pageant (her talent consisted of an Acro-Jazz dance routine) to name a few! She also received the Platinum Fitness Award from President Obama for earning 1,000,000 points in fitness activities.
Thank you Shyanne, and to your mom and dad for letting us share a bit of your growing up. We can’t wait to see what you do next. xo
