Are you all ready to see Brooke’s “Mad Men” inspired portion of her session?!   I felt like a boxing announcer just then for a second, ya know that whole, “Let’s get ready to rumbllllle!!”   I mean, I didn’t literally just yell it out loud, but in my head, that’s exactly how it sounded!  ;)  Seriously though, I have been so excited to share these with you all!

Before we look at all the images, just a little on the behind the scenes work that went into creating this fabulous shoot.  A few weeks into our planning the shoot, Brooke found the perfect dress.  Literally, it was perfect – perfect style for her vision and the perfect fit!!   I visited local antique shops and researched how to find period appropriate pieces.  I even enlisted the help of my mother to hit some antique shops on her side of town.  All of this was for the mission of finding the perfect 1950s-1960s style props to help with our shoot.  After binge watching hours and hours of Mad Men episodes, I couldn’t wait for this shoot!

The day of the shoot was perfect and Brooke, as you can tell, did an amazing job!   If this girl didn’t channel her inner Joan Holloway / Betty Draper, well my friends, no one can.  ;)

I cannot wait for another “Be Unique” portrait session like this!!!  It’ll be tough to beat this one, for sure, but I bet there is another fabulous senior girl out there that’s ready for the challenge!  ;)

I have been dying to share this Harrison High School’s Class of 2014 Senior with you all!!

Brooke Armbrester is fabulous in every way!   I don’t say that to be over the top or jokingly either.  Brooke is super crafty and is a crazy mad planner.  She rivals anyone with her Pinterest skills!  ;)

I loved planning this session with Brooke, every last second of it.  Every little detail was so much fun preparing for and I’m so sad that it’s over.  Seriously.

For anyone wanting the “Be Unique” Portrait Session, this is going to be the one to beat.  Any “How I Met Your Mother” fans out there??  “Challenge Accepted!”   And if you don’t understand that reference, well then, I just feel silly.    ;)

If you aren’t familiar with the “Be Unique” Portrait Session that I offer, you get to have a Fabulously Styled Shoot in addition to your Senior Portrait Session!  You all know how much I love, love, love styled shoots!

We’ll get to Brooke’s styled portion in an upcoming blog post.  Because she just has so many images that I love, I couldn’t possibly fit them all into one post!
