Sheila | Trash the Dress Virginia Beach Virginia Photographer

When life handed Sheila lemons, in the form of a wedding dress she could no longer use, she decided that instead of being upset she would take that beautiful dress she had chosen and make some amazing photos with it!  I was so excited when she got in touch with me!  Sheila is a gorgeous woman!  We tried to organize a snow shoot…but the weather just didn’t work out for us.  But when we finally picked our date we were rewarded with the most awesome sunset to go along with our fun shoot!  And boy did we ever have fun!  We started in one field but then decided to chase the light and ended up in a muddy construction zone.  But Sheila was so up for anything and she hiked up that dress and we picked our spot!  Thank you so much Shelia for asking me to make these images with you!  Not only was it so much fun, but absolutely empowering too!  XOXO!
