Down a Country Lane - a styled "Senior photo" shoot

Putting together a styled shoot and growing it from an idea to finished post has been a longtime goal for me.  When I tossed a few theme ideas to my model, she and I had the same first choice - Down a Country Lane.  From there it was a matter of putting together some props, finding an appropriate location (and oh my, did I ever find an amazing location!), and securing my hair & makeup artist.  I'm so grateful to all those who helped me bring this idea to life...with a special THANK YOU to Jack & Betty Feightner for allowing me to use their property for this shoot. 
We finished the day with so many great images that I had a very hard time narrowing them down for this blog post...which is why there are lots of them here.  But I'm not apologizing - I'm very pleased and proud to share the final results with you all. 
But first, I want to introduce my creative team:
Model:  the adorable Aly Pitzer
Venue:  Edgewood Place
Hair & makeup:  Amy Ford of Strands
Technical assistant and expert reflector holder:  Shanon Pitzer :)

The lemonade was really intended to be a prop, but Aly decided she should have a taste.  Made for some interesting faces.

 Also making his (canine) modeling debut:  FLETCH.  He's a natural!
