When local photographer Emily Petri asked me to be apart of her “Flashback Friday” series, of course I was onboard – I’m always dreaming of a different time and place! Since most of the vintage pieces in my collection are from the 1940s, 50s & 60s, I needed a piece that was quintessentially 70s and I already had a dress in mind!
I’ve had my eye on this dress from Most Everything Vintage for a while now, but it was so different from the dresses I normally fall for that I was apprehensive to buy it. Now that it’s in my closet, I’m coming up with new ways I can style it and even alter it to add to its versatility.
I have to say, this shoot has a special place in my heart because I was able to incorporate the acoustic guitar my parents got me in high school in to the images. I don’t play it much now, but I took lessons for years. Also, have I mentioned I was raised on Classic Rock?! I grew up listening to Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, America, Queen and The Beatles- so I was completely in my element walking around downtown Portland with my Fender.
Last but certainly not least, Emily and I wanted to pay tribute to the amazing women in music during this era. You had Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks, just to name a few.
