Styled shoots are some of my favorite things to do. I get to collaborate with all sorts of cool people, and play with my creativity. I've done SEVEN of them this year, which has been a little insane. I might have to back off of them for the coming year, but they sure are hard to say no to 😊️

Happy Halloween!!! Trick or treat? For me it's treat, because this gorgeous shoot I was a part of was featured on THREE publications today! I'm forever grateful that I reached out when I first saw Tiffany's post about an elegantly dark, gothic inspired styled shoot. She and everybody else that was a part of this project killed it.
.
My own blog about the shoot went up today as well! Follow the link in my bio to see everybody's work, and my favorite shots from the event.

Halloween is getting closer! How many of you watched the Thriller Parade last night? We walked around in our very low effort Stranger Things costumes at the Halloween market (we got Steve and Robin Scoops Ahoy sweatshirts!) and then went to watch the parade from one of the balconies in our building. 🎃

It's been a no time for social media kind of week. But when @haleykathrynn sent me these photos from her New Orleans wedding I couldn't resist hopping on here to share them. This was by far one of my favorite sets to design, and that crest!!! It might be my favorite crest I've ever put together. Congratulations Haley and Wil, your wedding day looks like it was perfection!!

Swipe through to see some photos of the lovely couple on their beautiful day, the inspiration for the crest as their wedding backdrop, and a close up of the crest art.

Halloween and Christmas are my two favorite holidays. Both of them come with their own sort of coziness. Halloween you get the cozy Autumn colors and snuggling up to watch scary movies, and little touches of creepy decor mixed with fall blankets and cider and changing leaves. For Christmas, the coziness pivots over to warm fireplaces, and maybe being bundled up as it snows, and Christmas carols, and Christmas FOODS. (And speaking of food, there's Thanksgiving nestled right there in the middle.)
