Garner Blue Fall 2015 - Indigo Dyed

Earlier this month, I once again had the privilege of shooting some images for Lisa Garner, mastermind behind Garner Blue. It was a smaller shoot than the last one, but we had just as much fun! Y'all go follow her on Instagram (@lougarner) and keep an eye out for when her pieces will be for sale in shops! I'm personally looking forward to the Yule Tide Pop-up where I'm planning to buy one of those gorgeous kimonos. Anyway, here are some of my favs from the shoot.

Garner Blue Spring 2015 - Indigo Dyed Handmade

My creative and talented friend Lisa deserves all the credit for this lovely spring shoot for Garner Blue, her line of indigo-dyed products. She gathered 4 of our gorgeous friends and styled each of them perfectly to model her pieces. She also picked out these cool locations around town, one of which featured an impromptu strip show from a random woman in the parking lot. It was such a fantastic afternoon with perfect warm weather and lots of laughter with friends. We even enjoyed some delicious pizza from Rock N Dough after the shoot (you NEED to go there if you're a Jacksonian).

If you like what you see, check out Jackson Pop-Up Shops, which Lisa organizes and sells her work in. The next one is coming up April 24-25! See you there?

I had a hard time narrowing these down, so I'll shut up and just let you get to lookin'

And some cutie pie behind-the-scenes action:

Beth, who couldn't find her brush, teasing her hair with a car ice brush/scraper. As Courtney called it: "The Big Tease" 

And Julia being Julia. It's hard not to have a good time with these girls! I'm so thankful to be a part of Garner Blue, even in this small capacity. I can't wait to see what else Lisa comes up with!

Branchbound Bridal Lace Jewelry Photo Shoot

Sarah Louise (affectionately to her friends as Slu) runs one of my favorite Etsy shops, Branchbound, and just happens to be a pretty super person. I was so excited when she asked me to shoot some of her pieces for her bridal look book! I love that Slu's pieces combine the delicacy of lace with the bold colors and size of "statement" jewelry.

I found my model, Kelsey, through my Facebook page and set up the shoot for a Saturday morning. It ended up being pretty chilly, but Kelsey powered through like a champ! She's getting married later this year, so this was good portrait practice for her, and she did great. We used my wedding gown and a vintage gown for the shoot, so don't worry, her fiancé isn't getting a peek at her dress too early! I was hoping for at least a little cloud cover since it wasn't a golden hour shoot, but it was FULLLLL sun. I feel like I made the best of what we had, though...unless I'm just delusional. So without further rambling, here are some of my favs! Please head over to Branchbound to check out her fabulous line (and tell your friends!).
