If just for a moment, take a step back, away from your every day life, and envision yourself living a fairytale, being a princess.... and then realize, it's not as far away as Disney, or magic.... It's simply how you choose to see yourself, and the world.
Meet the modern day Repunzel. She's got golden flowing locks, she's flawless, the only thing that's missing is the tower and prince charming.
I wanted to take a classic story and put a twist on it. I also wanted to play around with photoshop, which I did by adding in layers and layers of hair for our opening shot!
The rest of the collection is representing the story of Repunzel AFTER she chops off her hair- free, exploring the world, but still fighting with the emotions of feeling as though she's being watched, or that this new found freedom and beautiful world may get taken away from her at any minute, trapping her again, back up in her tower for years to come.
We had a blast creating this fairytale, and Lexington Michigan provided us with the PERFECT scenery- the old brick, vines, and cool fencing. It was a perfect mix of the old world look in and new day and age.

This portfolio shoot for a model shot in the middle of the woods also has a hauntingly gorgeous fairy tale feel!
