Product Photography Session

I had the divine pleasure to do some product photography for a friend/ jewelry designer the other day...she has the most unique pieces. Rachel from Rachel May Jewelry designs her pieces straight from the heart. Each and every one of her designs from her collections have been inspired by one of her life experiences.

You can find her jewelry at various boutiques around the globe. To learn more about her line please visit RachelMayJewelry.com

I had the divine pleasure of photographing an amazing cosmetic line recently. It was something new for me to try out and I had a blast. What a gorgeous makeup line, ladies you must try it out! {I was so honored when I was asked to shoot it.} SMOAK Cosmetics was created by American model, actress, mother, and T. V personality Shanna Moakler. The line is simply fabulous...it’s mineral based, does *not* contain fragrances, preservatives, harsh chemicals, and best of all it’s NEVER tested on animals. I’ve been lucky enough to get my hands on the line and I’m absolutely smitten for it.

SMOAK launched last week and the website is now live online. Check it out at www.SmoakShop.com to get your hands on some new goodies! Ladies I promise you that you will fall in l-o-v-e with this line.

The site is gorgeous from top to bottom. The design of the website is filled with chic colors and truly showcases the fabulous cosmetics, and the chandelier logo is so perfect and glamorous! {Promise that I’m not just saying that because my hubby at DIGITAL7 Media designed it, hehe.} It really is stunning!

The line fits Shanna to the T, it’s just all around beautiful and I’m so proud of her and all her hard work on this line. She's one of my best and dearest friends and I couldn't be more excited for her. {Shay I wish you all the best with your line and may you have endless amounts of success with it. You deserve it! You did a phenomenal job with all of it.}

I’ll be posting photos from the launch party event that was held last week at ‘Cafe Was’ very soon! We had such a fun time at the event....maybe a little too much fun even!

My favorite SMOAK Cosmetics picks include:

-The entire line of magnificently soft brushes {the foundation brush being my fave.}

-Liquid mineral foundation {it’s so light and feels like velvet on the skin}

-Invisible blotting powder {great for when I’m on the go}

-Liquid Lustre Gloss for a night out {in the “Pink Kisses” shade}

-Mineral Core SPF 15 Lip Tint for day use {in the “Nude” shade}

-Mineral Matte Shadow {in the “Indigo” shade}

-and LOVE the Creative Color Kits that allow you the option to choose 3 or 6 of your favorite shadow colors {perfect for me because I love all the shadow shades, so this is a great way to carry up to six different shades at once.}

Scentsy is delish

I am so excited that fall is here! This is one of my favorite times of year. I love it all, the cold crisp breezes, the trees turning, the golden brown leaves falling, snuggling up to a fire, hot tea, and most of all the wonderful aroma of the season.

I just love the smell of all the fresh warm baked goodies that come along with this time of year. While lunching with a friend the other day she told me about a new candle alternative she had just fallen in love with. (I have a divine obsession with scented candles as it is, so this caught my interest immediately.) She told me all about them, how they work, how they use light bulbs instead of flames, etc. I was so excited to try them out. I got my order the other day and let me just say these are awesome!

As most of you know, I am a huge animal lover at heart and my hubby and I have two “fur-babies” at home that we adore even though they can be quite mischievous at times. (*smirk*) Well these Scentsy candle-like goodies are 100% pet safe, yay! I was so excited about this, not to mention they are child friendly as well.. They are wickless, sootless, and flameless, and the wax only gets to 99 degrees so you can’t burn yourself...no more days of Lulu, our cat trying to play with the flames of candles.

Needless to say I am loving these.. and the scents are delicious! (They have over 80+ scents) But my personal favorites are the Pumpkin Roll, the Camu Camu, and the White Tea & Cactus. I have the warmers in almost every room in the house and they even have little plug-ins for the bathrooms. (I took a picture of the plug-in in our bathroom at home.) It smells like scrumptious Pumpkin Roll in my entire house right now.. so yummy! Fall is definitely here, up next is to decorate for Halloween!

Psst. You can check out my friends website at https://saxonsmom.scentsy.us for more info or to order your own goodies. These make awesome gifts too!

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing the Savage family over the holidays. Not only was the family one of the sweetest I’ve encountered but also the girls were such cutie pies, and boy were they dressed to impress! I do a lot of family beach photography and although I am a fan of the “jeans and t-shirt” look for these photos I was so excited to see how endearing these girls looked when they showed up! Between the tutus, the leggings, and the fabulous jewelry these girls were looking quite enchanting! I thought it was such a refreshing twist to the whole “beach look.”

Speaking of their fabulous jewelry, Debbie also happens to be the designer and owner of an adorable jewelry line called Baby Emi Jewelry. It’s glamour for pint-sized people and their mommies too! Please check out WWW.BABYEMIJEWELRY.COM and have a look at the adorable Cambodian inspired items. It’s an excellent line of jewelry that promotes family love and tradition. You are sure to find something on there that catches your eye.

Pssst….don’t forget to notice the photography on the home page! I’m proud to say that I took those images as well as some of the photos that are briefly sprinkled throughout the site. I’m so happy to have my photography featured on such a fabulous website!

You’ll notice some of the images on my website in the galleries but here are some of my faves from the day.
