A Georgia Girl in Germany

MacKenzie had fun during our “Military Mom” modeling shoot last year. Don’t you just love how she looks with the wind blowing through her hair here? This shot was part of what whet her appetite for more modeling -- she enjoyed it so much that she told Uka (the photographer) as much, and she was invited back for her own modeling shoot the next day. Yes, she was excited. So she picked out several outfits, and we headed back to the studio.







MacKenzie took a little time to warm up to the camera -- or rather -- she took a little time to find her smile. She had such a serious look on her face for the first part of the shoot. I think Uka wanted some serious-looking shots, but I think MacKenzie has a gorgeous smile that would have made the photos sparkle even more.

The most important thing is that MacKenzie had fun. She enjoyed posing in her different outfits, including jazzing them up a bit with some extra props, like this feather boa. I think she looks like she could have stepped out of the 1920s with this outfit! Such a classic look for a young lady!

Uka even pulled out a “green screen” to use a bit ... so she could play with the backgrounds later. This is definitely a timeless look on MacKenzie. See her smile beginning to show? Very classy!

This white dress was MacKenzie’s Easter dress, and I loved that she had another opportunity to wear it. Uka added some star-studded garland as a tiara, and it looked stunning -- like an angel.







They even had a wind-machine going for a while. MacKenzie really liked that! You can notice it a little in these last two photos of her in the white dress.





The most fun photos -- I think -- were the ones when MacKenzie wore her dirndl. What an adorable little German girl (although, she’s definitely not “little”). Complete with braids and a basket of flowers.



I really like these shots of her sitting, especially the one on the left -- it really shows her personality, including that sparkle in her eyes. She finally found her smile! What a wonderful opportunity for her to look and feel like a star!



One final note for family: I'm getting ready to place an order for prints of some of these. If you're interested in ordering some for yourself, please let me know and I'll share the price list with you.
