Unmasqued | Fashion Show

Hey everyone! Long time, no blog :) I've been super crazy busy around here working on Unmasqued, a modeling competition for girls in KC. It's been taking place all week - there have been styling, runway and print modeling seminars, as well as a super-fun community day complete with making masks with elementary students & a tour of the Roasterie.

Tomorrow, the 27th, will be the culmination of the whole competition - a roaring twenties themed fashion show! It's going to be an absolute blast and I'd love to see you there!! Tickets are available at modelskc.com and are very affordable - $10 for regular admission, $25 to roll VIP :) VIP includes access to the balcony lounge as well as a wristband for the afterparty at the Cashew.

Come out and support a good cause (the Society of Starving Artists), enjoy some fabulous fashion (provided local boutiques & designers), and cheer on your favorite model!

kassia

Look, I'm following up on a teaser post! How could I not, as adorable as Kassia is?? Miss K is a fabulous photographer in her own right (check out her work here) and is also doing some second shooting with the lovely Heather Cole. Kassia & I spent some time hanging around this fantastic old farmhouse in the most perfect light I've ever seen. Look for more shots of her in the next months...we've decided to make a habit of this :-)

kelly

It was pointed out to me last night by Mr. Van Horn that I don't do a good job of following up on my teaser posts...sorry about that :-) I was intending to display this shoot ages ago as a slideshow with cool music, but I decided to just go on and post it!! Kelly came down from Chicago to model (recognize her in the header too??) for my bank-robber-on-the-run shoot. And obviously, she rocked it out :-)

Look at these in order - there's more than what show up too, just click the far right button by the thumbnails to continue. And leave me a comment! ;-)
