Catz Formals-Columbia South Carolina

blogHey Everybody! I did an amazing lengthy photo session this past Sunday for Catz Formals out of West Columbia, South Carolina. They brought in formal wear from their shop for us to photograph at the studio. As you can tell the evening gowns are amazing. And the models are pageant winners from here in our own local area. These girls are beautiful.  Well, first a little about the shop, it is owned by Chris and Tammy Newton. They specialize in wedding dresses, pageant, prom and bridesmaid dresses and tuxedo rentals and all the accessories you need to go with for your big event. The Shop is located at 2238 Airport Blvd. in West Columbia, SC. There phone number is (803) 926-7170.  Also, working on our photo shoot today was the Edge Salon and Spa owners David and Valerie Towles. At their shop they also carry a full selection of prom, pageant, and party dresses. For this photos session, they did all the hair and make-up. They started early in the day getting the models ready for the shoot. It is so helpful when I am photographing to have a makeup artist and hair stylist work the session. I love this group!!!
