Back to School Fashion 2012: Barbie Styled Photo Shoot Sneak Peak

With back to school just right around the corner or just behind the corner for my county, I had to give you a little sneak peak of eye candy for what all girls school age or not have loved for years and years.....and that is BARBIE.  Barbie is a staple for school age girls (and not so school aged girls like myself).  My eye is drawn to barbie.  I love the pink that is associated with Barbie and also the fashion. Barbie absolutely never gets it wrong!  We did a Barbie styled photo shoot hair and makeup by yours truly, A Glamour Affair.  Also by A Glamour Affair was the set design and styling.  My husband and I actually built a wall for this photo shoot.  But hey, you can't cut corners when it comes to barbie, right? The photographer for this shoot was the amazing Brigette Carruth of In Focus Photography who is so much fun to work with.  She is an Atlanta based photographer who definitely lightens the mood and makes sure everyone is having a good time.  We did a short little interview with Brigette beneath the picture below for our sneak peak.  Remember, this is just a sneak peak we can't wait for you to see the rest!  It's just we could hardly wait to give you a glimpse of what is to come!!!  We will also follow with some tutorials on how to get these looks later.  Until then............

AGA (A Glamour Affair):  What are you most passionate about capturing in a photograph?

Brigette:  I think my answer is more on the technical side instead of the creative side.  I want to be sure that I capture the right lighting.  Lighting will make or break your image.  You can have a great pose, great smile, even a great style or background, but if the lighting is flat or not properly exposed it ruins what I am trying to capture.  For me , a great image is all about capturing the right lighting at that exact moment when my subject has the perfect look.

AGA:  What sets you apart from other photographers?

Brigette:  First of all I want my business to bring glory to God in all that I say and do.  After that I want my sessions to be fun.  Most people dread having pictures made.  My sessions are not like a trip to the dentist or doctor.  I want my clients to have fun while we are shooting.  That's when I capture great images instead of good images.  I want my clients to leave saying, that was actually fun.  I know I have done my job right when they email, call or text thanking me for the good experience.

XOXO,
