In the last few months, we have been doing a lot of cross-marketing with the cool folks over at Binns in Merchant Square. In April we co-hosted a Girls' Night Out Party...we called it Binns After Dark and it was a GREAT time!

At the end of the very late night - we're talking after midnight - we decided to do a very cool, contemporary staff portrait. All the ladies grabbed their gowns and while they were getting dressed, Michael, Bobbi, and I got everything ready and set the stage. We had a blast and everyone was great - despite the late hour! I only wish I looked that good after midnight!! Here's what we came up with:

Back By Popular Demand!
