Our Blue Hen Beauty


This shoot was magical with a strong team of mostly women owned businesses. The creativity literally bounced off of every window in the GORGEOUS Blue Hen inside the Adelphi Hotel in downtown Saratoga Springs, NY. The energy was palpable.

To watch Sara from Ink Revival set up her stationary boards with as delicate of touch as her calligraphy, was amazing.

Kelly, from Kelly Strong Events eloquently coordinated all of us creatives into one cohesive yet unique design vision.

And the girls from Olive & June Floral Co, Cassandra and Rosa? Stop it. They are amazing and will BLOW your mind with their attention to detail and use of texture & color.

My girl, Laura, from Lily Saratoga was nothing short of incredible with her choice of gowns for this shoot that could not have been more perfect (that off the shoulder, OMG!)

Now that gorgeous woman in those beautiful dresses? None other than Samantha Grey or you may know her as @bohemianbulldog, since she is pretty much instagram famous!

All of our work couldn't truly be appreciated by the masses without the extremely talented Michelle Lange, I'm not sure if I even saw her face the majority of the shoot because she was so into shooting every little detail of everything we all created.

Did you take a look at that cake? Yes, it was real. And yes, it was delicious. That master piece was created by one of my new favorite people Austin Bayliss, go check her out. Seriously.

Now our beauty skills? Our model brought the fire and we brought the sparkle. My partner for life Angie Barnes brought my vision for boho loose chic hair to the next level and I let our beautiful model's best features do the talking for the makeup.

This whole backdrop that allowed our work to shine was brought to you by Total Events and the beautiful Blue Hen inside the iconic Adelphi Hotel.
