This is Mathew and Madeline, they were the contest winners for my Etsy contest featuring hats by Bethany's 5. You can check out her shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Bethanys5?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=App_Seller&utm_content=shops&utm_campaign=fb_seller_shop2 .

Arianna Tavares my make up artist trained by Mac pulled off that classic pin up look flawlessly. You can find her at http://ariannamariemakeup.weebly.com/index.html.

I gave each girl a glass of champagne to sip as they were getting dolled up. There was classic 40's music in the background to really set the tone. I had a lot of fun working with my clients and figuring out the right posing that would be true to the genre and flattering to each individual girl. Here are some of my favorites. ...
