Photoshoot with Sassy Yelp girls

Who knew foodies can model too! :P

I met Hai-yen and Stephanie through Yelp. I instantly clicked with them because their sarcastic humor.

Few days later, I asked them if they want to do a 1950’s style photoshoot with me and they quickly replied, “Yes!”

Since Stephanie has thick long hair, she showed up a hour earlier than Hai-yen. When Stephanie explained to me that she has a lot of hair, I thought it will be fine and I have a thick hair too. No kidding! Her hair took me 2 hours to finish it.

Hai-yen surprisingly has thin hair so it was quick to finish up her hair. I did not like the result of the curls so I tied up her hair in a ponytail. Cute and sassy!

Let’s just say that Hai-yen is a bag of surprises. Somehow she can hide her foodie’s treasure chest so well. I had a hard time to pick out the dress that fit her frame. In the end, everything worked out!

The makeup was mostly done by them. They showed with only eyeliner and lipstick makeup. I want them to be a bit more flawless so I quickly applied translucent powder and blush on their face. And then I added a little of contour.

The photoshoot was done at the Midvale’s old mining town. I know it is a popular spot for cinema filming. Also it is very close to where I live.

I love these two ladies are so sassy during the photoshoot.

The style of this photoshoot is not radiant and bright. I am trying to make it dark with details but soft in a way (maybe I need to open up a dictionary and look for a proper description word).

The dresses from the photoshoot:

Hai-yen's dress - Vintage 1950s Peck & Peck Crepe Pleated Dress
Stephanie's dress - Vintage1950s Du Barry Ruched Bodice Bombshell Cocktail Dress
