Ethereal Shannon | Wellington Photographer

Photography Mandi Lynn

Make Up and Hair: Renee Tomuri

Post Production: Mandi Lynn

Shannon is one of those creatures that is blessed with not only beauty, intelligence, and talent, but she is also an absolute honey to work with.   She claims she was a gawky ugly duckling only a year ago with her braces and glasses.  It is very difficult to believe now.   Keep tuned we are working on a highlights video of Shannon's shoot with us where she lets you in on what it is like to have an A La Mode Model for a Day experience. 

Angelic Arianna | Wellington Teen Photographer

This gorgeous creature is Arianna.  Her mum works for our framers and after seeing our work come through she decided that a photoshoot with us would be the perfect thing for her daughter.  What a cool mum.  Arianna came in with her mother and for the life of me I couldn't make eye contact with her.  I thought "oh boy, this might be a wee challenge."  Nah....her mum left to go back to work and we stuck her in the hair and make up chair.  As the makeup went on the girl started blossoming...by the time we started on the braids we had a down right chatty little thing...then we fed her pineapple lumps and that was it...she was off and ready to pose....and not just posing politely...she was twirling and leaping in the air.  We had a complete and utter blast.  It was fantastic!  I love tweens they are one moment a playful young girl and the next minute you see the woman they will become pulling to the surface.  And oh my goddess is it a beautiful thing to behold!
