On Saturday, Chrysi Guzman was kind enough to play model for me and “trash” one of her formal dresses that was just hanging in the back of her closet.  I was lucky to have Chrysi as my test subject, who could totally be a model and was a complete natural. I really appreciate Chrysi’s help. Her natural beauty and fun personality made this super easy and made our time together fly by.

To trash the dress, we went to a new home that is still under construction; the home of our make-up artist in fact. It was such fun! Chrysi was a great sport, allowing me to put her in dusty and dirty locations while wearing a very beautiful dress. She was ready to get really trashed, scaling  a dumpster, climbing in some trees, making ’snow’ angels in the dirt and hay, and even doing a little lamp hanging in the process.

For anyone concerned, don’t worry, Chrysi’s dress is still in tact; it just needs a little drycleaning and it will be back to new.

I had a great time doing this session and can’t wait for the next one. I thank Chrysi for modeling and Heather Lindhorst for leading her make-up artistry talents (and house).

Here are some of the shots. Enjoy!
