Indianapolis Retro Pinup Photography

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Last weekend I photographed the beyond adorable Jess. She has her own vintage clothing line called Rockin B Clothing which you can learn all about on her website. Our theme for the shoot was to capture her style in a vintage/retro pinup themed shoot in Indianapolis. Believe it or not but Jess styles her hair every day in a vintage themed way. She even teaches fellow swing dancers how to emulate her classic pinup hairstyles.

Since it was winter time we shot indoors in a studio setting which also helped us recreate that old school lighting techniques of yesteryear. Our themes were school girl, traveling, beach, and reporter. All had various costumes carefully styled by Jess and props we had jumbled together.

Indianapolis Fashion Photography: Mad Men Vintage Photoshoot

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Before I headed on my vacation-honeymoon to Florence, Italy, I shot a series of vintage fashions for Red Rose Vintage in Broadripple/Indianapolis, Indiana. The models: Erica T, Kimberleigh, and Kiersten, along with Make up Artists Kelly Oswalt of Red Carpet Reflection and Stacey R Mayo of The Makeup Company all traveled down to Columbus, Indiana to shoot at my home studio.

Everyone did such an amazing job on this series of Mad Men inspired photos. The models all posed impeccably with panache and the Makeup artists did a stunning job as usual. Both Kelly and Stacey even did the model’s hair.

What resulted was some vintage fashion photos that I adore. Thank you so much to everyone who was involved in this shoot. Can’t wait to work with everyone again!

A sub thought I always have is a shoot like this would work really well for senior photos as by having a theme or a story can make your senior photos so unique and creative. So, if you are in need of funky, creative, not your typical senior photos, contact me at stacy able photography.

Indianapolis Wedding Gown Designer: Btrousseau

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

A couple weeks ago I met with some of my favorite models and a new favorite fashion designer in Indianapolis to debut her spring 2010 collection. The collection has a very bo-ho goddess feel with colors such as wasabi and a salmon number. I can’t explain it as elegantly as Beth Bennett, the designer of B Troussaeu, but the spring collection just asked for movement. You can see her some of her many creations on etsy as well as online at www.btrousseau.com/ Not only does she make wonderful custom dresses that will make you feel like a goddess, she also makes these amazing wedding gowns both fancy and formal along with unique destination numbers. If I had known about her before our Guatemala Wedding last year I would have used her creative dress making abilities.

Onto the shoot, the lovely Stephanie and Tonie graced us with their gorgeous presences and really completed the looks. Stephanie wore the ombre pale to vibrant fire pink number that fit her perfectly. She swayed, jumped, and busted a ballet  move to get the dress to show it’s many facets. Toni stepped up next with her wasabi green halter gown and twirled, posed, and shimmied to show off her threads. There were two more looks following which was a lighter wasabi caftan on Steph and a gorgeous shift boho on Toni. Again, they worked the studio creating designer/photographer/model magic.

To complete our shoot, we headed to my favorite location in Indianapolis to get a on location vibe. Enough of my ode to gorgeous dresses and great models… check out the photos as my words can not do these dresses justice!

Columbus Indiana Senior Photography: Jenna

Monday, August 17th, 2009

I’ve had the joy of working with Jenna twice. She’s a gorgeous olive skinned young lady who is going to be someone in the modeling world. She’s tall, willowy, yet athletic as she swims all the time. Her eyes and natural smile are gorgeous! Our first shoot together was in June and we did a Rock/Trash the dress which I’ll be blogging sometime later this month. Our latest shoot was in early August, at my studio setting in Columbus, Indiana. The shoot was to focus on Jenna’s natural beauty and do a model/senior photography type session.

Anyhow, we did three looks with Jenna and started with natural/no makeup and her skin glowed. What a lucky girl! Next look, done by Sidra Luna, a makeup artist in Bloomington, Indiana was a tiny bit of eye liner and it made her already large almond eyes pop even more. We added some wind to get some flow and movement in Jenna’s locks. Our last look was more dramatic, but not over the top. It was a shimmery brown eyeshadow and liner that was flawless (Sidra is good!). We worked through a series of poses that she’s needing as well as some I had up my sleeve.

It was really hard for me to narrow down to the top few photos as there were so many good ones. For some variation I threw in some black and white and cross processing for some extra flair.

Columbus | Bloomington Indiana Trash the Dress: Brittany

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Brittany and I have been trying to get together to do a trash the dress for around 6 months. Either snow, ice, or scheduling have prevented us from shooting. Finally, in late June we were able to coordinate and get together for a trash the dress/bridal session extraordinaire.

We decided to start with a studio setting to get some dramatic bridal portraits then move to downtown Columbus, Indiana and neighboring areas to get some fashion and themed shots. I believe my favorite shot from this session which was hard to me to chose, was the mock Cinderella photo. Brittany, besides having the longest eyelashes I’ve ever seen, brought these amazing white heels which really completed the Cinderella theme I was going for. It was a whopping 87 degrees outside, and Brittany carted her Disney dress around with a smile and lots of laughs. That dress had to weigh at least 30 pounds!

This shoot  got the wheel of  ideas going in my head and I’m leaning to do some more fairy tale trash the dresses as well as senior portrait sessions with a prom/fashion trash the dress theme. I can’t wait for what’s coming up these next couple of months.

As you can see below, trash the dress doesn’t necessarily mean the wedding dress will be trashed. It’s about celebrating the wedding dress and being able to wear it one more time before it goes into storage.

Columbus Indiana Photographer::: Model Portfolio

Friday, July 17th, 2009

A couple weeks ago I met up with Stephanie whom I had worked with before a couple months ago to do a themed shoot. Quasi alice in wonderland/greek goddess. She does figure modeling and this girl knows how to pose even down to her beautiful tiny toes! We met up at a park in Indianapolis and even though it felt like 100 degrees outside, Stephanie didn’t gripe one bit and we got some awesome creative shots. I’m working on a collaboration with a fashion designer, Stephanie, and a makeup artist in August so keep your eyes peeled for more creative goodness from Stacy Able Photography.

Columbus Indiana Photography::: The House with the Rock

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

A couple of weeks ago in the midst of photographing a deluge of  June weddings, I shot a beautiful home in Columbus, Indiana. Their home is known for it’s huge rock outside and rightfully so! This rock is great for pick nicks, reading a book, and so many other things. The previous owner’s children assumed the rock would be going with them when they moved– it is that important! It was a wee bit sunny, but the grass glistened with the morning dew and I can not begin to describe how amazing their hydrangeas are! They gave me a bag full and I can not wait to get some roots to start my own hydrangea bushes. These flowers are the size of my head! Besides the flowers, their backyard is stunning! Their pool is a bright turquoise and long enough for you to get a good lap in. By taking photos of this stunning home, I gained an appreciation for the craftsmanship in this house and neighborhood.
