this is what floats around in my head

I've had this photoshoot in my head for a while, and finally last Saturday we drove to Ocean City to take the shots. The concept was vintage coats with stilettos, very vintage glam hair, and red lips, against a background of the abandoned beaches. Well, we got to the beach and it was pouring and the wind was gusting up to 55 mph. So the girls didn't want to do it, but we hadn't just spent 2 hours pincurling Jo's hair just to give up. You can see her hair deteriorate as the shoot progresses, and maybe I should call this "the ruined shoot." But I absolutely adore these pictures and think my sister looks amazing.

Frankly, I think it's fantabulous. I would've never known it was a "ruined shoot" until you mentioned it. Sooo much here that I love.

ruined schmuined! I think they're lovely. I particularly appreciate your sense of colour and the coats/dresses/heels you've put together - the teal and ivory with the orange umbrella, the purpley-slate dress with orange coat against a muted/darker ground - very, very nice.
