What an incredible evening it was shooting in the Edmonton Aviation Museum last night. We shot in front of four planes and had five different outfits changes.
Around 3:30 pm Deonna Fetzko from Aurora Hair and Makeup Artistry came over to work her magic. Shortly after she arrived our gorgeous model Mel Issa showed up. Within two and half hours Mel was back in the 50’s. If we had a time machine and went back to the 1950’s Mel would fit right in.
When my mom passed away I got her collection of vintage clothing. Most consisting of my Gramma’s and Great Aunts clothing. some dating back to the 1930’s.
We went through everything I had. Mel tried on a few different ones and between the three of us we picked out 5 outfits for her to wear.
