picture of the week

Processed with VSCOcam with c1 preset Hi, friends! What a week!! Thank you all for your sweet comments about my wedding dress - just to clarify (and put poor Raven at ease) - none of those dresses are my wedding dress. You'll have to keep checking in to see the real thing in November! What are you all up to this weekend? I am working tomorrow, but Raven and I are visiting CT on Sunday and Monday before his brother moves away for business school. I have a feeling we'll definitely be paying a visit to our wedding venue. Whatever you're doing, I hope you have a great one! Here are my favorite links of the week:

The garden patio at The Bonnie (pictured above) is so gorgeous. And their mushroom cuban? Off the chain.

4 new blowout spots to try.

This is awesome. Bravo.

Affordable Eddie Borgo. Yes.

This is on the list of possible pieces for August 9th's Bisou Session.

Beyonce's assistant.

Charlie has a heart just like this on his nose.

Get outta town (no really, do).

Until Monday...

introducing: bisou sessions

Friends, I am so excited to announce a project that has been in the works for MONTHS! victoria_gloria_FBB-2

 

Some back story: in January of this year, my friend Victoria asked me to be a part of a boudoir shoot extravaganza. We were to do an all day shoot of back-to-back sessions, with a carefully curated set and props by the insanely talented Maddie of Oh My Gemini.

Well, the shoot went so well (remember this Instagram?), that we discussed doing it again, and decided that we wanted to KEEP doing it as long as inspiring, lovely ladies wanted to work with us.

So, with much love and a lot of hard work, we've launched Bisou Sessions, a super special boutique boudoir experience for women.

This is not just for brides to be. These aren't only pictures for your boyfriend or your wedding gift; these are for you. This experience is for you.

I'll admit, I've always had reservations about having boudoir pictures taken. I'm so self conscious about my body (my wrinkles, my pale skin, the list goes on), I'm not sure I could go through with it. But when we did our first day of sessions back in January, and I witnessed these immensely beautiful women confidently face the camera, I was sold. The experience was so empowering, so girl power, girl's girl love, and I cannot wait to continue to be inspired by the women we work with. We hope to work with you!

boudoir session with victoria gloria!

Hi ladies and gents! Apologies for the late post today, I of course came down with some achy fever-y type of illness the second I got home, so I've been sleeping it off. But, I had to pop in today to tell you of an exciting opportunity this January! boudoir-shoot

My good friend Victoria Gloria is hosting a very limited number of boudoir sessions and I am styling them all! I am so excited for this shoot, you have no idea. I've worked on boudoir sessions before, and they're so fun to style because there's so much to experiment with. For this shoot, Victoria and I have talked a lot about vintage silk and lace, faux fur, and fun stockings. I've started sourcing pieces already, ladies, and things are looking good.

If you're getting married, or just want to do something sweet and sexy for your love, this is the shoot for you. Victoria is so wonderful to shoot with, and her images are pure and so strong. Her work is so exceptional, please check her out by clicking the link above. If you have any questions about the shoot (look at all you get for what you pay!) drop me a line here or send me an email.

Can't wait to see you January 17th!

xoxo,
