The Cousin Session (Part 1)

2 sessions. 2 gals. 1 stylist. 3.5 hours and 219 frames later we had a successful shoot and Kim and her cousin, Jennifer, were late for a bridal shower.

Kim came in to do a Pin-up & Boudoir session for her soon-to-be-hubby. What's really exciting: Kim's wedding just happened to be this past Saturday! I hope she had the time of her life!

Kim's cousin, Jennifer, came in to do a session for...well just cuz she wanted to! You will see Jennifer's photos in "Part 2" of this blog entry.

We had so much fun doing the shoot together, it was like a par-tay! A VIP on this party's guest list was Nina: She gave the referral, she did the hair & makeup, and she helped assist during the shoot. For hair and makeup, you can reach Nina at: nina.themakeupartist@yahoo.com

Now for one of the most hilarious parts of the shoot: How Kim and Jennifer entered the studio. I swear, they brought a whole closet! I just had to get pictures:

They even came with a bamboo tree! The first in Nellie Photography history! This is a story I will never forget.

...And here's the car they brought everything in! Can you believe 2 ladies, a ton of shoe boxes and clothes, and a bamboo tree fit into this teeny thang!? You know I was rollin' on the floor when I saw this madness!

And now...the photos!

Photo #1: "Pin that veil on her tail." What a great idea! I love the grunginess and fashion feel of this bridal portrait.

Photo #2: "As a matter of fact, I am." This is actually a page straight out of Kim's album! She requested an image with a Chinese food takeout box cuz it's sort of an inside joke between her fiance and herself. I think it's super cute!


Photo #3: "Enough to Make Mr. Vang Blush." This image looks like it's begging for a pair of angel wings.


Photo #4: "A Second Look, Cuz I know You Couldn't Get Enough of the First."
Another page from Kim's album--can you tell I'm diggin' the album design? Kim even prepared the beautiful bouquet she's holding--real flowers! Gorgeous!

Photo #5: "Cute. Sexy. Sweet." That pretty much sums up this one.

Are Kim's bridal boudoir portraits hot or what?!
