Shouldn't we all be plastered in gold?



I think the answer, of course, is yes.  

A few months ago Riley, Ashley, Rachael and I basically had the time of our lives getting Riley gold goddess ready.  Mixed with the excited, we were all a little nervous as well.  Ashley had never put the gold leaf on someone before and I had never photographed anyone with it.  We all wanted it to be epic.  Ashley's background in professional makeup definitely, brought these images to light.  It also helped once Riley saw herself and loved it. :) 

The next step was to light the images in a dramatic way that Riley and I had discussed.  Most of the moody images were shot in my studio.  Riley is a rep for The Black Swan Dress Boutique in Lincoln, so she was able to pick out another dress (the sparkling dress is hers) so that we could have two looks.  We had a very bizarre, beautiful day that February afternoon, so we were able to take a few images outdoors and at the local laundry mat to change things up a bit. 

I also submitted her images to WE ARE THE SEEN and to SENIOR'S IGNITE.  Riley's images were featured on both sites.  Check out all of her images that were chosen by clicking the links below.
