Finally! I took these photos in July and they are finally up on my blog! I had so much fun doing this shoot and I loved how the photos turned out, but, alas, it still took me a long time to get the photos up.
I love the 1940's fashion, music..well, basically everything about the era! So, I have been planning this shoot in my head for months. I did research about the hair styles, make-up and clothing of the time, and although I titled this a 1940's "themed" shoot, some of our outfits were off a bit, but hey, that's why it is only "themed" and not "exact".
To pull it off I enlisted the help of some super talented make-up artists/hair stylists. Stephanie did most of the hair and donated tons of clothing and accessories owned by her grandmother, who, I must add, was a pretty stylish lady! Alex did all of the make-up and a few hairstyles. You can check out their awesomeness here and here.
And, I had fellow photographer and friend of mine shoot with me. You can see her fabulous work here and here. She is a really talented photographer!
Then, I must give credit to all of our beautiful models! They rocked! Big time!
They were so willing to let me style them in whatever...some of which was really from the 40's and smelled like it! Daring girls!
A lot of work, preparation, and fun...totally worth every second!
These are the outside shoots. We also did indoors shots in different outfits. I will put some of those up soon, or you can see some on my Moda Photography Facebook Page.

Cute! You got some great captures Heidi. I will link your post to mine right now. :)
Incredible photography, Ilike it. However, just to be historically accurate (you can hate me for pointing this out) that Southern Pacific locomotive was built in the 1950s and wears a late 1960s paint scheme.
Ha! Ha! Thanks! Yes, I'm sure you are correct. We didn't go into THAT extensive of research for the shoot, so I know that things are a bit off, but we weren't going for exact on, either...just "inspired" by the 40's. We weren't too picky. (Not trying to sell them or anything...just for fun). One of the models also had three earrings, two of which were at the top of her ear...pretty sure they didn't do that in the 40's, either!
Hopefully, not everyone looking at them is an expert on trains!Ha!;)
