Becca's Closet


  A month or so ago, I had 2 young ladies from E.C. Glass High School's Student Council Association stop by my studio. They were sweet, well spoken gals and they were on a mission: Becca's Closet. This wonderful organization gives less fortunate high schoolers who wouldn't normally be able to attend formal events an opportunity to join the fun by providing FREE formal wear. On their own time, these gals were out and about soliciting local businesses for donations. One of the things they needed were some cool pictures to help promote their cause. Their dedication to this project was so admirable, and the cause so very worthy that I jumped on board. We set up a session date at the Old City Cemetery.

When the session date arrived, it was so fun to see all of the girls pull in with their carloads of colorful, stylish gowns. There was a dress for every possible type of occasion, event or personality! We had a blast mixing it up with all of the different colors and styles. We borrowed ideas from everywhere--- from Juicy Couture to Christian Dior, the girls were ready to pull out all the stops and help create these awesome images to support their cause! 

Check out the boots! Juicy Couture, all the way :)
Gisele and Heidi have got NOTHING on these ladies!!

Avante Garde, anyone?
 

We even grabbed a coupla' quick glammy images in the studio-FUN-FUN-FUN!!!

All-in all, it was a lovely day with lovely girls (inside and out) and lovely dresses, all in support of a very lovely cause. All of the beautiful gowns were generously donated by Celebration Bridal in downtown Lynchburg. Be sure to remember this gracious donation by the ladies at Celebration when you find yourself in need of some simply smashing formal attire.

If you or someone you know could use a helping hand affording a gown/dress for a high school formal event, please remember Becca's closet and their local chapter right here at Lynchburg's  very own E.C. Glass.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to give a little of my time to such a wonderful organization. Many thanks to the dedicated, hard working girls who are making the Becca's Closet project such a blessing to this community!
