Heather Hackney - Pretty French Things

"To know that Paris exists and anyone would choose to live anywhere else is a mystery to me."

I started Pretty French Things as a way to ease back into reality after spending the most dreamy 2 months of my life in Paris. I create all kinds of French inspired gifts and home decor items, such as tiny hanging birdcages, chalkboard coasters, decorative magnets and framed skeleton keys, as well as calendars, postcards and prints of photographs that I took in France. I hope to bring a little joie to all those who share my love for the city of light.

Alisha Stamper - Heirloom Photography

I create portraits using a 4"x5" view camera (think bellows, dark cloth over head). Many people have never seen this type of camera, and definitely have not been photographed with one. I want to provide this experience to people attending the market. I compose and direct each model so that the image is more than just a likeness. I like people as they truly are-- with strength, serenity, and soul. I believe portraits done beautifully can be heirlooms. View cameras can manipulate the focal plane, and I take advantage of that to create images that can only be created with this type of camera. I use instant film for these quick portraits I create as they watch. Each customer will sit a few minutes to have their portrait taken (the exposure is quick, 1/125 of a second on average, but it takes a few minutes to pose just right and focus, etc). The film processing happens within the instant film packet and then the print and the packet are pulled apart. The customer takes the instant. This is basically a high-end art photobooth and it is fun. I think having this at the bazaar will be fabulous and be a unique difference to the scenic/urban photographers. I also offer the ability to order copies of the images after.
