This past weekend we had our very FIRST Lindsay Steele Photography and I am still over the moon with how perfectly everything turned out. From start to finish, it was amazing - the attendees, the vendors, the fellow photographers, the backdrops, the weather....EVERYTHING! 

Molly of Dollface Makeup Artistry and I had the pleasure of working with Mackenzie and Allyssa, our models, a few months ago for their Senior photos and we instantly knew we wanted them both to be a part of a styled shoot...we just had to choose the themes. Finally we decided on Goldilocks and The Secret Garden and realized those shoots would be perfect for the very first Lindsay Steele Workshop. I won't get into the behind the scenes details of the workshop just yet, that will come next week, but for now, enjoy these images from one of the most inspiring days of my life!

Goldilocks was to have more of an avant-garde feel, so the attendees would have a more varied portfolio instead of just offering two shoots that looked like fairy tales. I love that Goldilocks wasn't as much of a literal interpretation - Rashell NAILED the styling and the dress from Rent the Runway was breathtaking. And don't even get me started on that hair and makeup!

The Secret Garden was all about the romance - from the floral wall to the soft lilac dress, the braid in Mackenzie's hair to the swing, the whole shoot screamed dreamy romance. Rashell and her team put together the most incredible floral wall - it was unspeakably beautiful and I couldn't have asked for a better setup. It really looked like our little Garden Nymph stumbled right into a secret garden.

Thanks so much to Mackenzie and Allyssa for being beautiful, flexible and easy to work with. Thank you to Molly (makeup), Summer (hair) and Rachell (styling) for bringing my vision to life. I truly couldn't do what I love without the help of amazing, creative, talented, kind humans like you. And of COURSE thank you so much to our attendees! I hope each and every one of you learned so much and walked away with tons of incredible photos to add to your portfolio.

Keep Dreamin'!
Lindsay
