movie moment : away we go

Thursday, June 28th, 2012

Away we go is one of me and Matt’s favorite movies. It makes us want to road trip and go in search of adventure.

Very sweet, very original movie. good stuff. If you haven’t seen it…do!

bonnie loves clyde: candy striper

Thursday, June 28th, 2012

Bonnie loves Clyde has been such an awesome photo collaboration to be a part of! (read a bit more about it here)

Matt and I had mostly done couples shoots or weddings up until we got involved in the project, but flexing our photography muscles to shoot something more “fashiony” (totally a word lol) has been so amazing and has brought our photography up to a whole new level. Seriously. From this project has come an entirely new perspective. And I mean, come on what photographer wouldn’t want to take photos of Robyn? That beautiful face, that curly hair, that swag. And that Kristi (she co-styles Bonnie loves Clyde along with Robyn) my goodness, so much style, such vision, and so much dang personality! Okay, I’m getting carried away with talking about their talent….

Anyhow friends…thank you for letting me share these fun things that I get to take part in! I hope you are enjoying them!

I call this one “‘candy striper” because of those fabulous pants! …this outfit was one of my favorites!!
