As promised, here is the 2nd installment of Trash The Dress - Spring 2009!

The stunning woman in these photos is Blythe McKinlay.  Blythe decided to wear this great, deep brown cocktail dress for the photo shoot.  Again, a great alternative to a wedding gown.  We also incorporated a teal scarf in a handful of the photos that I think, really highlights her dramatic makeup.

Although I took many photos of Blythe that turned out beautifully, I LOVE this photo.  

I love the lighting, the texture of the rocks and water and the angle. 

I love how peaceful and confident Blythe looks.  I love her bare feet and how we positioned her body.

I love this photo.

Below are a few more of my favourite shots of Blythe.

I started photographing Blythe at about 7pm.  The sun was no longer in view at this time and although at first I was disappointed that I wouldn't be able to utilize the sun for creative effect or general lighting, in the end I was still very happy with the soft lighting of the evening.  I couldn't be more pleased with the way we showcased Blythe within this environment. 

I adore this location.  I love the massive, uneven rocks and the crooked trees.  It is perfect imperfection!!

Photographing Trash The Dress is one of the most rewarding, creative experiences that I have had the pleasure and opportunity to organize and photograph.   I have already begun planning our next TTD Event which will be held in late September 2009.  If you would like any further information regarding pricing (which may I add, will be extremely well priced), dates, location or availability, please contact me at:

Space is limited so please contact me soon to book your spot!

I want to say thank you again to Carrie Tibbs and Blythe McKinlay for being so relaxed, fun and beautiful for this photo shoot.  It was an excellent day and I can't wait until September!
