What a fun couple that I got to do some wardrobe styling for and then makeup + hair for the gorgeous gal Nicole! Seriously such a fun session that allowed me to get totally creative while pulling wardrobe. There’s no rhyme or reason with this shoot, no boundaries, we just let fun fabrics play off one another. We weren’t sure what we we’re after… Photogo, KRISTIN VINING wanted “pretty outdoorsy”! Not being an “outdoorsy” person myself, I had a hard time comprehending “pretty outdoorsy” ! Here I am thinking sticky, bug infested, itchy weeds, dirt, wild life, ugh…. itching as I type this. Needless to say I was thrown for a little loop… but eventually we go there!
I took the two shopping and we started in ANTHRO – and actually on the sale rack. Nicole wanted to re-use the majority that we we’re purchasing for her bridal showers, rehearsal dinner, and luncheons. She is a dress girl so that’s what’s exactly what we ended up with, two dresses that beautifully flattered her body and her milky complexion. Her little tooties are covered in a SEYCHELLES wedge {might I add that KV even purchased a pair herself}. Oh Robert… I think I fell in fashion luv with you the moment you mentioned GILT GROUP! He’s quiet the fashionista himself and an owner for HUNTER BOOTS {not a big deal for a gal to own a pair… but a straight man… makes me proud}! I put him in a broken in/ relaxed fit chino from J.CREW and a lightweight/ slightly wrinkled denim shirt that he owned and completed his look with a {what I refer to as a “Mr. Rodgers”} sweater.
One wicker basket and wild flowers purchased from the KINGS STREET FAMERS MARKET made this look complete!
Her makeup + hair… she’s a doll so I left it to a minimum – a goldy/ bronze on her eyes and my all time fav photo shoot lipstick by MAC in color TWIG! Her hair I curled and pinned half up.
Voila… beautymous and extra snaps to KRISTIN VINING for her rad skillz behind that camera!
So then we got fun… and made luv over gram, chocolate and marsh’mellows! A fish got in the mix too…
Mr. Robert might be sporting my ALL time fav giant gingham linen shirt that we purchased at J.CREW {he was proud of my find}! We paired it with a simple pair of shorts that he owned and we didn’t shed the boots. His glasses… he wears them all the time so it would have been un-natural to take them off. For the little lady herself we again selected a dress from ANTHRO and paired a redish/orange belt to add a little spunk. So in luv with the rain boots that we found on sale at URBAN.
The outdoorsy couple themselves brought all of their camping gear and we were set to start a fire and roast some ‘mellows!
OH! This fish… came from some South Carolina good ‘ole country boys! It was a Wednesday morning around 10am… they had just caught this beauty and probably a few drinks in… 24 years old, enjoying the day! So they allowed us to pose with their fishy… Naturally the most UN-OUTDOORSY person myself HAD to join in the fun!
I gave fishy some spritzer and smoothed his whiskers!
and then here’s super woman herself {KV} showing her balance skillz while behind the cam!
