Queen Mary Portraits 04

I am absolutely obsessed with history and visiting historical places. I’ve been to the [Queen Mary] ocean liner, docked in Long Beach, CA a handful of times. Every time I have been to the ship I have been inspired and wanted to do something special with my photography. I mentioned doing a period shoot to my friend Molly who adores the fashion and style of the 1940s and she was on board (pun intended) immediately. All wardrobe, hair and makeup was put together by her. Special facts: the black jacket is an original piece from 1947 and the white hat was worn by her grandmother on her wedding day. I love the ease and class of the looks. The ship has a personality and grace of its own and I feel that Molly and I bonded with it, creating effortless photos that are a result of just walking and playing on the decks. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as we did creating them.
