Legacy Lodge Photoshoot/ Girls weekend!!!

This past weekend a bunch of girls and I drove up to the Worsley's Legacy Lodge. Chelsee Hunt and I have been working together to build our portfolios. Chelsee does hair and makeup professionally and does an amazing job! For information, go to Chelsee's hair and makeup blog.


We have been planning this for a couple weeks. We brought up some super fun and gorgeous girls that Chelsee could get ready and then I could do some close ups for her and get some other fun pictures for my profile. Sharisa went with us to as our stylist. She put all the outfits together and did a great job!



Wouldn't you love to wake up and look out at this from your huge windows every morning! I did! It was so nice up there. Beautiful weather and clean air! It was great!




We first went up on Friday night, stopping in Payson to get some groceries. Chelsee had to turn some kid down who wanted to know if she was over 18 to buy him some cigarettes. Sorry buddy! Then we got to the lodge, got situated, met up to go over the agenda for the next day and the power went out! Thanks to Hector for getting that turned back on for us. Then we hand cake and Orange soda (what was it called???) to celebrate Whitney's birthday! Thanks for coming up and helping us on your big 17 Whitney!!! We brought a bunch of clothes up for the shoot and had the girls bring some of their own because we didn't think we'd have enough. Turns out everyone had super cute clothes so everyone tried each others clothes on until the late hours of the night. Kind of like shopping except you can't buy it!
Saturday started super early with Chelsee starting hair and makeup at 5:30 and we worked until the sun went down. In the morning my contact ripped in half and of course this is the first trip I have ever gone on without my glasses or an extra set of contacts! So I wore it anyway because I needed to see out of the camera, it hurt and everyone thought I was winking at them all day but it still worked.

Here are a few of the hundreds of awesome shots we got!!!

We dirtied $15 wedding dresses, laughed until we cried, stayed up late talking until midnight (I remember when it was so easy to stay up until early hours of the morning!!!) Kristen Peterson came with us and brought her little baby so we all got turns with cute baby Maddie. Sunday we woke up whenever we wanted, no alarms set and just lounged for a little while before we packed up and came home. It was a short, busy, fun, and tiring trip! Can't wait to hang with you girls again!

Hey Ashley! It is such a small world! I was looking at your photography blog, which, by the way, your pictures are fantastic, and saw a picture of Brian Madsen! I knew him and his brother, Jaron(sp?)! But, anyways, how are you?!?! I started this blog a while ago, but haven't really been keeping up on it until just recently! I am so glad because because I have found so many people!

I don't think you need to KNOW a consultant. I think I gave you Michelle's e-mail, right? mmcghan@live.com. You should just be able to e-mail her and I'm pretty sure she can help you. If not, let me know. I'm thinking of throwing a party to help her out where you can come and sniff ALL the yummy scents.
