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.
I know this is a fashion blog but every now and again I just need to vent about how much work it is to decorate a home. This is where I am now; bedside tables. Where do I begin? They have been one of the hardest accessories to find. I scroll through site after site, for hours, and still have not been able to find “the one.” I have been turning to inspirational pictures, houzz, and other design sites, to no avail. Luckily, Brice and I met a very nice gentleman who’s niece, Josey, owns a company called, Paloma Creations. Basically, they help you design and then create your dream piece! What more could a girl ask for! Now, who wants to donate to the “Maison Hafner” fund so I can hire them? 🙂
Ever since learning of the term “gypset” from gal pals, Molly and Bradley, I am obsessed! While talking about the pending honeymoons I disclosed where Brice and I were going, to which they both responded, “oh, very gypset.” I said, “No, I don’t think it is jet set.” They said, “No, GYPset.”
I had no clue what this meant but after a quick explanation I was fixated. Gypset is a mix between gypsy and jet-set. It is the idea of a completely free-spirited lifestyle and travel. Tres, perfect!
I have been trying to shop for a few things for the honeymoon with this “gypset” idea in mind. When I came across this Mara Hoffman cover-up I stopped scrolling. I found the perfect piece! I love the idea of throwing this over a swimsuit by the beach or belting it for a casual dinner. The colors and lightness make it the ideal piece for any beach get-a-way.
There is something about a bridal suite that really makes the wedding moment special. They are places you think of when you are a little girl and then get excited to visit once you have the ring. I must admit when I started my wedding dress shopping my first instinct was not Nordstroms. However, after referrals and research I found it is a great place to gowith a large selection of designers. When I called them I was immediately assigned to Sara, a very sweet and personable stylist who took the time to understand me and what I was looking for. After the initial call I was beyond excited to visit the store and see all of the dresses she was going to hand pick for me. When I arrived she showed me my dresses and it was clear she took her time to think through each decision. I was very impressed that she was able to pick dresses that captured everything I wanted. Did I mention she had a different pair of designer shoes to accompany each dress?
After trying on my dresses I was told many were customizable so I had a lot of fun picking out fabrics and different lace options. My time at Nordstroms was very enjoyable and although my dress does not come from here I recommend it to anyone in the dress process. They are very accommodating and can meet any need or desire you have.
