Coffee Corset Photo Shoot!

So I’ve been meaning to photograph my coffee corset that I made back in October, but I’ve never had the chance. Luckily this weekend I was able to get my friend and coworker, Marla to agree to model for me. I think she’s absolutely beautiful and she has the most fantastic red hair, so I was thrilled when she agreed to wear my corset.

I did some location scouting before the shoot and got super lucky when I walked into Eskell, a boutique in Wicker Park. They have a fun, quirky vintage style that I loved, and they immediately and graciously agreed to let me shoot in their store! Fantastic!

It was a lovely afternoon and I got some fantastic shots out of the process. Many thanks to Marla and Eskell, I couldn’t have done it without you both!
