Interior Design

   I want to give a shout out and a special thanks to my mama for all of my creative juices.  She has always had a keen eye for details and she has been really helpful when it comes to brainstorming new ideas for my photo shoots.  My mom loves interior decorating and for years now I have pestered her to make a career out of it. Seriously, everything she touches looks like it came straight from a magazine!  My sister and I just moved into studio apartments and my mom designed both of them.  She lives and breathes for decorating and I wanted to share her talent with all of you :)... Maybe more opinions would finally convince her!

This first studio is my sister's. She gave my mom a budget, which she then produced into this...

 

She bought this all separately. She found the vase, then the twigs, then the rope and pieced it all together.

 

 

Now on to my studio... I was really fortunate to have people give me some hand-me-downs. I received my couches from Trent's mom and the other furniture was from our old house. My mom did a great job piecing the various random pieces together. (These were taken from my cell phone).

She's pretty good huh... Next time I'm in SD I'll take pictures of our house because that's where she really shines! :)

Lisa-Marie & Kyle

    This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph an engagement session at my favorite place in Irvine known as the LAB Mall.  It's a small outdoor mall filled with artsy shops, cute restaurants, and creativity. When Lisa-Marie and her fiance Kyle contacted me about an engagement session they didn't have a location in mind, but their ideas of what they wanted perfectly described the LAB. We got together this past weekend and we had so much fun exploring this photographer dream setting. It was a gorgeous day so we sat outside and ended our session with tea and appetizers at a restaurant called The Gypsy Den.  Lisa-Marie and Kyle are so much fun and  I can't wait to photograph their special day in October... It's going to be beautiful! :)
