In creating a great look it is all about the base. In creating a great base you need the perfect basics. I have spent countless hours and hundreds of dollars on what I thought would be pieces that I could build a look around. Over the years I have been disappointed by these purchases when after a few wears their fit falters or the material gives out. I was about to throw up the white flag when I discovered Old Navy’s t-shirt line. I invested in a few choices but I must admit my favorite is this black and white striped number. It is so soft and has been very transitional. From wearing it in the day to sleeping in it at night it is my new favorite piece.
When you are building your wardrobe it is important to have basics which allow you to create a simple and neutral base. Having a neutral base easily allows you to create new and different looks just by changing out your accessories.

I have always been fascinated by photography. I have spent countless hours studying photographs of people, while considering the angles, the lighting, and the editing the photographer used. I love the fact that photography has the amazing ability to transport us to a different time, or place with one single shot.
It was not until I started blogging that I decided to take photography more seriously. With camera in hand, I started experimenting with photographs of my apartment, of friends, and family. It was after experimenting in this way that I realized my passion for photography. I have no formal training or background in this field, but I realize that passion can open your eyes to the impossible, so not only did I invest in the proper equipment I also spent the necessary time to learn everything I could to enhance the skill it takes to be proficient with this passion.
I enjoy, and appreciate the opportunity to photograph bloggers, couples, influencers who make an impact in their profession, families, and also lifestyle type setting. I take an individual approach to each person I photograph. I make every effort to embrace and highlight the focus of what they are trying to convey to their audience with each session.
I look forward to working together and capturing the potential magnificence of your moments through my eyes and the lens of my camera.

You look amazing. I love everything about this outfit. Way to style the basics from old navy with very chic high fashion pieces like the topshop shoes and philip lim bag. Not to mention that jacket I have to check out the brand I have never heard of it before.
Love the jacket!
