Sherri began hair and make-up while Vicky {Bijouterie Designs} put together the vintage sets of jewelry. Val {All About You Weddings <span class="amp">&amp;</span> Events} picked up both vintage styled gowns from Storybook Bridal along with an Ivory tux. Models: Ariana, Rachel, Jamie, Jessie, <span class="amp">&amp;</span> Grant got dressed and we headed up to Premier Point Lodge with assistants: Allie, Cody, Val, Vicky <span class="amp">&amp;</span> Sherri. The sun was just perfect as it peeked over the horizon casting a yellow/orange hue on the gleaming bay. The trees swayed back and forth as the models laughed, posed, and helped one another better their shots. We welcomed newcomer Jessica Freitas as our third bridesmaids model, she did so well for her first shoot and I am so excited to have her model for more shoots with us. From the vintage styled hairpieces to the elegant floral arrangements from {The Magic Stem} everything was&nbsp;perfect&#8230;&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; color: #666666; text-align: center;">Photos from this shoot with be featured on www.applebrides.com - Thank you Rachel <span class="amp">&amp;</span>&nbsp;Melissa&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; color: #666666; text-align: center;">Check back to see the full shoot or visit&nbsp;www.applebrides.com</p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; color: #666666; text-align: center;"><img class="fj-Photo fj-large" src="http://media.myfotojournal.com:80/blogs/raylakphoto/photos/2012/05/08/large_f10cfaab6e1d2cd6b3e0.jpg" alt="Upload from May 08, 2012" title="Upload from May 08, 2012" /></p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Helvetica; color: #666666; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> Tue, 08 May 2012 22:03:23 +0000http://www.raylakayphotography.com/2012/may/08/applebridescom-photoshoot/Mother's day photo sessionshttp://www.raylakayphotography.com/2012/may/01/mothers-day-photo-sessions/<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><strong>A Mother&#8217;s&nbsp;Love&nbsp;</strong></strong></p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">There are times when only a Mother&#8217;s&nbsp;love</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">Can understand our&nbsp;tears,</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">Can soothe our&nbsp;disappoints</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">And calm all of our&nbsp;fears.&nbsp;</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">There are times when only a Mother&#8217;s&nbsp;love</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">Can share the joy we&nbsp;feel</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">When something we&#8217;ve dreamed&nbsp;about</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">Quite suddenly is&nbsp;real.&nbsp;</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">There are times when only a Mother&#8217;s&nbsp;faith</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">Can help us on life&#8217;s&nbsp;way</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">And inspire in us the&nbsp;confidence</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">We need from day to&nbsp;day.&nbsp;</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">For a Mother&#8217;s heart and a Mother&#8217;s&nbsp;faith</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">And a Mother&#8217;s steadfast&nbsp;love</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">Were fashioned by the&nbsp;Angels</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;">And sent from God&nbsp;above.&nbsp;</p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;"><strong>Author&nbsp;Unknown</strong></p> <p style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Arial; text-align: center; margin: 0px;"><strong><img class="fj-Photo fj-large" src="http://media.myfotojournal.com:80/blogs/raylakphoto/photos/2012/05/01/large_32f0cd422ceae2b764f7.jpg" alt="Upload from May 01, 2012" title="Upload from May 01, 2012" /></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;">Mother&#8217;s day is coming, if you don&#8217;t know what to get your mother - Maybe consider a mother daughter/son photo session!
