Baroque with Emmy Sue

Did you know that pearls were presented as gifts to Chinese royalty as early as 2300 BC, while in ancient Rome, pearl jewellery was considered the ultimate status symbol? The spherical gems were so precious that in the 1st century BC, Julius Caesar passed a law limiting the wearing of pearls only to the ruling classes.

My session with Grand Rapids based model, Emmy Sue, was nothing short of spectacular. From the set to the make-up. She did her own make-up while I did her hair. I think we make a pretty amazing creative team!
