Amanda and the Fabulous Coat

Full Christmas Report coming soon, but in the meantime...

My dear friend Amanda (from my famed Bookers book club) gave me the best gift ever - she asked me to take her pictures! She had been given her grandmother's fur coat from the 30's and her mom and aunt wanted her to have pictures taken in it - her grandmother is ailing and they knew it would mean a lot to her. She had her hair and makeup professionally done (a little bit period, but totally beautiful) and we had a whole afternoon set aside. We were going to go to the Capital grounds or the Driskill Hotel but ended up at this incredible historic home in the Castle Hill area of town thanks to a friend - we had awesome locations within our one location!!! I think we kept about 40 photos from the shoot, but I definitely have 3 favorites...
 Favorite Contender #1
Favorite Contender #2 (probably my favorite)
Favorite Contender #3

Honorable Mention:

Seriously, isn't she gorgeous????!!!! I seriously can't tell you how fun it was to take picture of someone other than my kids. I love my kids. But they don't listen and they don't sit still and they're not GORGEOUS AND FABULOUS! Seriously, one of the best afternoons I've had in a long long time. I have sooooooooo much to learn about photography stuff but I really really enjoy it and it was such a treat to get to practice with such a fun subject! Cheers Amanda! (PS - these are the raw images - no editing yet!)
