Heather & Jay were our models for our mentor session with Lori & David this week. Whenever we do an all day mentor session we arrange a shoot so that the folks we are mentoring can see how we work with our couples on location. We shot right around dusk on an overcast Seattle day and it captured this season in Seattle perfectly :). Heather & I actually danced on our dance team in high school together back in Chicago and ironically enough, both ended up in Seattle. We hadn't seen each other in years so it was so fun to see her and hang out with her main squeeze, Jay! 

I want to give a huge shout out to Tiffany Lowry who did the hair and makeup for this shoot. I cannot stress the amazing difference it always makes to work with a professional make up artist. It is huge. Jay & Heather radiated playfulness and love and were up for an adventure. I personally love this shoot because somehow it gets me totally excited for Christmas in just a couple of days.

If you and your boyfriend/fiance/husband have an interest in modeling for any of our upcoming mentor session shoots please e mail us at consulting @ sarahrhoads.com with the subject line "models" and include a photo and a little bit about the two of you. The session fee is comped for modeling :) We are looking for fun people with a little quirk who are up for a good time on a shoot.

We are heading to Oklahoma today to be with family for the holiday's so keep in mind the office will be closed until after January 1st! Happy Holiday's!

These are probably some of my absolute favorites of yours. I tell everyone in my family that I have already decided that I want you as my wedding photographer. (I'm 18) They say I need to find a boyfriend first. Details..details.
