Angelic Magazine & Wonderfully Made

/

My faith in God is the most important aspect of my life, and from time to time you'll see it mentioned on my blog. I personally prefer to not have my blog and social media accounts be loud speakers for my views because I know not everyone shares them and I feel that my actions speak much louder than words anyway.

 

So, with that said, I've been really happy to take part in contributing to an organization called Wonderfully Made. It's a non-profit that helps women fight self-esteem issues and eating disorders with a faith based approach. I'm extremely passionate about those issues, and I feel that being in the fashion industry I have a responsibility to help fight them by communicating a healthy view of women and men. You can find me blogging about fashion once a month on their blog. Check out my some of my latest articles here...

I also just had the pleasure of sharing my journey in the fashion industry and how my faith has played a role with Angelic Magazine. You can read the article here.

If you have any questions about what you read or my life I'm happy to answer them. You can leave a comment or send me a note through my contact form.

 

Girls with Glasses Mother's Day Video

/

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and not only do I get to celebrate the wonderful mothers in my life, but I get to celebrate being a mom for the very first time. YAY!!! Summer and Brooke from the Girls with Glasses invited me to celebrate Mother's Day with them by being a part of a video. Of course, I've only really known five months of being a mom, but they have been the most life changing months of my life yet!

I hope you enjoy it, and I hope all of you have a wonderful Mother's Day celebrating not just your biological moms, but any woman in your life that has nurtured you. Sadly, not all of us get to be moms in our lifetimes or we lose our moms too early. But, hopefully, some woman out there has been able to love and care for you.

Kari & Charlie Styled

/

I love my job, and I love my clients. Kari and Charlie are two wonderful people that invited me to style their engagement shoot with Gina Meola. These two went ALL out, and decided these photos were so important to them that they headed all of the way to San Diego, California to make sure they had a beach backdrop.

Of course, if you're going to travel many miles to take some photos you HAVE to look killer. So, after meeting both of them and rummaging around in their closet to see what basics they had, we headed out shopping. I created four outfits for each of them. Three of the outfits they wore in San Diego, and one they are going to wear in an additional shoot here in Phoenix with their puppies.

Kari was so enthusiastic and trusting. Two great qualities in a client. She shared with me the colors and clothes that she felt most comfortable in, but then of course, you have to push the boundary a bit for engagement photos. Kari ended up trying her first pair of leggings and her first pair of skinny jeans. I'm happy to say she loved them. And, she looks great in them, no?

Charlie is a really laid back guy, so he was up for pretty much anything. However, it was important to him that he looked like himself. So, after selecting Kari's wardrobe, we picked out Charlie's and made sure that everything he wore complemented her outfits. He felt most confident in jean, so we just selected the perfect shirts for his skin tone.

But even if a couple is gorgeous and has the right clothes on, the poses and the backdrops that the photographer chooses can make or break the photos. Gina Meola is a genius when it comes to this, and she picked such amazing photo spots to bring out the colors and personality of the couple.
