Well, “It’s a Wrap!”  This is it – the absolutely, positively final post for “Once Upon A Summer.”  

First, I want to thank again everyone who participated in this shoot.  If you have been following the story and the backstory, you know of all the challenges that we faced.  That’s why it makes it all the more exciting to share how all of our hard work paid off!

Not only did “Once Upon A Summer” receive a national feature on the website Seniorologie, but one of Devan’s images from the second half of Cinderella was chosen as a Top 3 of the week on Seniorologie, resulting in the Spotlight Image of the week!

Also, one of Kathryn’s images from “Little Red Riding Hood” was published in The Bold Issue of Chic Magazine!  This image was an Honorable Mention for the Cover and I couldn’t be more excited by this!

Soooo, how about some Behind the Scenes action?!

Kat, looking all super fab as “Little Red.”

If you saw the short video on Instagram, here is the extended version:
