Big Makeover Reveal! ::: 08.29.09

Who doesn't love a good "Before & After" blog post? =)

A few months ago, my friend and coworker Corrie entered a "Win a Makeover" contest sponsored by Shore Publishing. Since I always have a camera strapped to my face, she asked if I had any good photos she could submit, since I had taken a few recently. They needed a full length shot, for which all I had was one of her in the background of a photo I took of one of her chickens, and a "family" photo of her with her husband and pooches.

She also asked if I'd submit a testimonial, which I was more than happy to do. And it turned out, she WON!!!!

So behold, the before...




And this Saturday was the Big Reveal, held at Gabrielle's Restaurant in Centerbrook, CT. Is she not ADORABLE?


This was actually the first pic I took as she turned the corner, and I was not at all prepared. Wrong settings galore... but I had to act quickly. I still love the moment.


Waving to her admirers!


It all happened so quickly, but one of my other friends and coworkers happened to walk in about two seconds after Corrie's entrance. Her reaction was priceless.




Posing with her story board...


Doesn't she look like she just won a beauty pageant? Hahaha...


So happy!




Many thanks to all of the sponsors who helped Corrie rock her new look! Shoreline Health & Fitness, Salon Fusion, Gabrielle's, North Shore Tanning Salon, Essex Family Dentistry, Arabella, The Spa of Essex, Ella: Where She Shops, Anna Mia's, and of course, Shore Publishing.








Congratulations Corrie! It was an honor to be a part of such a fun experience!!!! XOXO
