Lady Gaga Themed Session with Erika

Michael and I love it when our models come to us with a concept for a photo shoot.

We started photographing Erika in high school when she was on the golf team and we were photographing all the school's team sports.  Then we photographed her when she was the Prom Queen.

Erika came to us with a concept for a photo shoot from a session that she had seen Lady Gaga do where she was wearing only a long white dress shirt, boots and a hat.  Her only prop in the photographs was a bar stool.  

It was a challenging shoot for Erika because in one shot she had to balance on one foot on the bar stool and in another she had to hold up the bar stool with her feet (spoiler, I might have helped).

The images below are some of the favorites from the session, we all had our favorites!!
