Culture Flock, if you're not familiar, is one of my favorite local stores in Springfield, MO for buying gifts for others and myself (#treatyourself!). I started creating images for them last year and am always so excited when they ask me to shoot for them again. For this shoot, they were re-releasing two of their first t-shirts... so I was already thinking "throwback," and I had just moved into a 1970's townhouse and turned the plaid-carpeted basement into my new studio space so... the idea began to sprout wings.  

My concept for this shoot was two women, one is a famous singer, the other a journalist who is interviewing her. They are both glamorous 70's women and we see them getting ready, doing the interview, posing for promo pics, and then becoming friends and hanging out watching tv, eating snacks, gabbing on the phone, polishing their awards, and brushing hair.

I looked up a lot of 60's and 70's photos of style and hair and make-up for references. My models, Jacki & Sheristen brought some of their own retro items and we pooled our clothing resources to create these looks featuring the Culture Flock t-shirts. 

This was my first in-studio photoshoot since the Covid pandemic began, so I made sure to do everything I could to keep everyone safe. I kept a mask on the whole time, wore gloves and used disposable tools to do make-up, etc. I checked in often with the models (both before and during the shoot) to make sure everyone was comfortable with everything. I am happy to report the shoot when smoothly and safely. It's certainly a strange time... and I think we all felt the giddiness of getting to play and create together after months of solitude and uncertainty.

For props, I used an old 8mm camera and some film, a retro rotary phone, my touch-screen make-up mirror, and an "Oscar" my mom sent me when I was trying to be an actor in LA (hehe awww). 

This was a super fun shoot and the ladies killed it. Sheristen had us cracking up improvising the whole time, and Jacki is an old pro by now--she was my own little barbie doll/muse for every creative photo idea I had for the first few years after I moved to Springfield before I started my business. 

Pretty cool--this shoot was all women-powered with T-shirts made by the two incredible women at Culture Flock, images created by me, and modeled by two gorgeous ladies.
