Jenna was such a fun bride! For her we wanted to create a really natural look, an “as is” kind of look. We chose a really subtle, peachy blush to match her beautifully tanned skin, and a shy pink lip stain for the lips. For the eyes, we wanted a little something to stand out but not be too dramatic, so we stuck with a dark blue eyeliner and a touch of guava on the lid.
We had a great time!

How about something that doesn’t break you out? Something that doesn’t strip all of the natural moisture from your skin? Something that smells good but doesn’t smell like its full of cheap perfumey fragrance?
Something French?
Something a little sassy? Something that smells and feels like a facial in a bottle?
What’s a girl to do?
“Gel Nettoyant maintains the natural protective hydrolipidic film, making the skin feel refreshed and alive. The skin feels unbelievably purified and rested without any unpleasant stripping sensation. It provides an overall feeling of comfort and cleanliness without irritation while conditioning the skin and removing makeup, dirt and excess oil.” – Yonka

This was a super special day and absolutely a blast for me! It was the first wedding I was able to do after having Henry, my sweet 3 month old, and I got to work with some rocking awesome photographers – Rothwell Photography.
For Carolyn’s hair we wanted something classic, elegant and completely up. We did a bouquet of curls at the nap of her neck, and it was perfect. We also wanted something romantic and smokey for her eyes and lips. So we use some sultry coal pencil and juicy mauve for her lips.
You want no muss, no fuss – and to try something without having to throw down some dough to get it.

How about get a free mascara from me!
We’re going to be giving away my favorite Trish Mascara!

Eric and I had a great time with Emily and Brendan for their wedding in Holden Beach, NC. They are such a fun couple, and after the tragic earthquake in Haiti, they decided to make some adjustments to their wedding and donate the rest of their wedding money to the relief effort. They switched their date and had us join them on a Monday at the beach with their family and a delightful time!
Alright, I confess – I highlight my hair. I like to see the shimmery sassiness of a lil blonde streak here and there. BUT like most people, this lightening action also brings to the hair a bit of dryness, and when the day is done, it feels like I need a hair cut every month just to keep up with the sass.
So – what’s a girl to do?
Never fear! There is moisture in a bottle – instant hydration for the colored-hair gal or the natural gal – and all 100% vegan!
With this AHHH-maaazing product, I can go 6-8 months without the drabby-need-a-hair-cut-now feeling. And the product lasts for a year if used sparingly.

Trash the dress shoots are super fun! Usually it’s an experiment with make-up and hair – and you get to try all sorts of new things. For Brett, I wanted to do something dramatic – so we did really smokey eyes and pretty light pinkish lips. Right as she was walking out the door, I felt her hair needed a little something extra so we pinned in a vibrant, fushia orchid to complete the look.
The weather was INSANE! It turned from sun to quick cold winds in a matter of minutes, but it was perfect for some awesome shots in the water, lying in the leaves and running through a little junk yard.

There are days when I look through my closet and feel so uninspired. The urge to run out and buy a new dress can be strong but with a tight budget and no real need of more clothes, most days I just need to rethink my options.
Which is why I am loving the tried and true trend of mix-match.
The days of matching your purse to your shoes to your earrings to your eye color are over, my friends!
Mixing prints and colors is a definite do if done right. Time to get inspired!

This girl makes clothing, sweet accessories, and raises chickens!
The key is to not mix more than two bold prints at once. As for color, mix it up!
