At the beginning of this year, one of the things I put on my list that I would like to do was to have more fun with my outfit shoots.  Basically just to 'play', and I can say that is just what I have been doing so far and its been so much fun.  The whole point of them is to just have fun anyway.  I use them in a way as continual practice with my camera for when I do my real lookbook photoshoots.  Learning light and angles is a process where you can never stop learning, especially now that at least 50% of my photos are taken on my phone these days... I can easily fall out of practice with my dslr.  I'm also challenging to use my phone in ways I would normally my dslr too though, so its just been fun to keep pushing myself in seeing things in new ways through both.  I also just got the new Beautiful Mess photo actions and Im having so much fun playing with them!

I am sooooooooooo happy that spring is here!!!  (I actually still have a few outfit posts from winter I haven't even shared yet... but these springs days have just got me so excited)  It has made James and I want to get out of the house alot more, even if its just doing little things in our small town.  Yesterday we went on a little date to some thrift stores and our local wine bar.  It was such a good night.  After a while of us both feeling a bit out of sorts with each other, it seems like as the season has began to change, so has our interaction with one another.  In ways, it has almost felt like we are dating again...  Amazing how that can happen out of the blue after being married for almost 7 years. 

Cheers to spring!

SPRING EQUINOX // BALANCE

Photo by Laura Mazurek

Hello Spring Equinox...

I have always loved equinox's... I even chose to get married on one.  I have a thing for finding balance, especially in the light and dark of life, so I guess that is why.  The days where the light and dark are in equal proportion to one another.  Both sides of life are so important to us for our personal growth and connection to self. 

I  created this image above a while back to represent coming out of the darkness and growing into pure light... But I think it can also represent the balance of light and dark perfectly too... It was such a fun shoot to create.  It is not that often I set aside time to do creative photoshoots like this just for myself.  They always end up being my most special photographs b/c they came purely for the sake of creating with zero outside agenda or people to please.  These are the best kinds... I need to make more time for this kind of art.

outfit details:  moon tank - gypsy warrior // pants - novella royale // jacket c/o sheinside // necklace - roots and feathers // boots + sunglasses - lulu*s.com


So, to say I'm obsessed with these Novella Royale pants is an understatement.  The color, the print, the fit, every inch of them is perfect.  And I'm pretty much in love with this whole outfit.  I made this moon necklace for my shop a few weeks ago and have worn it so much since I'm just going to keep this one and make another for the shop.  I love it way too much.  Its not in the shop yet, but I'm going to try to get it in there by tonite (fingers crossed).  My days have been so full lately it seems like little things like that have been hard to get accomplished...  I'm almost completely caught up with my custom orders, minus the ones I am waiting on supplies for!  Which is exciting and means I can work on some new things for the shop soon.  I also have a few newer pieces just waiting to be photographed and listed... so keep your eyes on the shop for those! 

I'm actually kind of loving the shed being where it is.  I was afraid b/c it is smack in the middle of where I normally take my photos outside, but it was our only option for placement where we live... But it is now providing me with some new backgrounds!  So yeah, you might be seeing this shed crop up in more and more photos.  We are excited to get our garage back to being James studio for Skyline Fever.  Right now it is so full of stuff from moving things over from my parents house this past year that he couldn't even work back there.  He has a tiny card table set up in our back room right now.  So this will be a very wonderful transition for him once its done. 

I'm about to post a new giveaway, so stay tuned.  Also, the new energy report from KV is up on the 'astrology' link.  Enjoy!
