Featured on The Perfect Palette

Good morning and, first of all, welcome to my new blog! I am still working out the kinks, but didn't want to delay posting because things aren't quite looking the way I want yet. So I'll share today's post with you and introduce you to my new virtual identity as soon as it's looking a bit more presentable.

Today I'm so excited to show you a styled shoot I recently did that is featured on The Perfect Palette! You can see the full feature here.  All the details for this concept were so fun to pull together because the aesthetic really spoke to me. You can see some images that inspired me here, and a sneak peak here. I won't go into it here, but if you want a more detailed description on the inspiration behind and crafting of this project, you can read more on The Perfect Palette.

I was also so blessed to be able to work with some of the most amazing ladies ever. Each one put heart and soul into this project, and I want to thank each of them for making my vision come to life. You can find all their credits and information below.

And now, without further ado, wedding details inspired by Ink and Ice.

Inky Blues: Sneak Peak

Wow, I had every intention of posting this yesterday, and the day completely got away from me. It was one of those days where every single thing seemed to go wrong. I woke up late and my brain was all foggy. Greyson got a cold and started leaking from every hole in his face (gross, I know, but true) and was anything but his normal, happy self. I spent way too much time on the road, got pulled over for the first time and saw a terrifying accident where a motorcyclist (not wearing a helmet) was hit by a suburban. Our family received some sad news. By the time I made it home, my head was throbbing and I still had a massive to-do list looming over my head. And it just happened to be one of the four nights of the year where Seth has to stay at work all night. I was barely holding it together.

It's days like yesterday, and I know we all have them, that make me so grateful for the opportunities we have. My most recent collaboration was like a breath of fresh air to my life that had started to feel so bogged down within the last year. I felt rejuvenated, letting my creativity take hold again, after so long.

So today, I want to focus on these beautiful moments and thank the lovely ladies, and my fantastic husband, for all their help pulling this shoot together. I couldn't have done it without them and these times make life feel so blessed.

Now, enjoy some sneak peaks with a mix of photos by the photographer and our iPhones.

Oh, and in case you missed it, here is some of the inspiration I pulled from.
