remember that shoot that i was styling for carina of
love me do photography? well, here it is! i was inspired by traditional valentine's day colors, like pink and white and red - but on a more sophisticated, muted scale. the lace, book pages, and touches of bronze glitter reminded me of valentine's day love notes, but didn't scream "omg i luv u!!1". i figured i'd let the models show that. i've also always been a sucker for old homes and antique glass, and i really wanted to incorporate that into the shoot; the table and crates gave that natural and demure vibe. i couldn't be happier with how carina and nadine photographed everything. the first time i looked at the pictures i literally gasped; how gorgeous are the photos with the hearts in the air?
all of the wardrobe was mine (except for the guy's clothing - i just provided the bow tie), and was almost all vintage. i was also responsible for the hair and makeup; the little flowers were made by my friend bernadette. the bottles were leftover from our wedding, and the paper heart chain, masks, and crates were mine. there's so many things that i made that weren't photographed (we ran out of daylight), and hopefully i'll be able to post those soon.
