Element of Surpise

Planning ahead for the Christmas holiday Christy wanted to surprise her man with a very special gift.  We had a very full day with lots of different looks to fill her album.  The flower was a last minute decision on my part, not knowing if she would be up for an adventure, but she was :)  It was a challenge getting the poinsettia to stay on her head even with the ribbon wrapped around her head, so I propped the stem on a stool behind her and she held steady as I slowly backed away to shoot.Makeup:  Ashlee Bivins, Hair:  Heather Valentine  Primp Salon, Broken Arrow.
