The weather was so lovely this past weekend I had to get out and do something! We ended up pulling together this fun little Valentine's Day inspired shoot. I'm loving the metallics, pinks, reds and purples. It was a super fun day that made for some dreamy photos. Most of the items you see in these pictures are for sale in the etsy shop!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of styling a shoot for the awesome guys at Beauty Shop in Fort Worth, Texas. If you are local to the area and want a unique place to get a cut or color, this is your place. It ain't yo momma's hair salon. (Though they'd do a great job on her!)

The decor was grunge meets glamour.  With glitter covered sidewalks and concrete floors to statues a bit reminiscent of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre house, I could've easily seen Lady Gaga herself getting a red carpet worthy do did up here.  Once I saw owner Anthony working his magic on the models, it was even easier to imagine.  Watching him work her hair was truly like watching an artist paint a masterpiece or Stravinsky play the piano.





Rachael (a lovely friend of mine) and Charity both worked their magic in hair and makeup and together we all worked at getting wardrobe right for the shoot from my shop. We wound up going with a few funky looks that really worked well with the amazing hair and makeup.  How great are those two dresses? I hadn't seen the black dress on a model until the shoot and I feel in love with the dress all over again. They'll be in my shop soon! The blue & red western shirts already are. And you can buy the leather fringe jacket here. I can't wait to see the final photos from the shoot! I'll be sure to share them when I do!

A few weeks ago we did this fun shoot on the back patio before the shop opened. I was super excited to do something cool with the space and it ended up being a huge success I think! We knew we wanted a bit of a circus theme and her mom worked really hard on her cute top hat. Happy first birthday to my sweet niece Lydia! We have a weekend full of birthday parties with my son's and hers both taking place.


Happy Friday everyone!
