Shoot 3 of 5: For this shoot, I wanted something very organic and freeing. What’s better than a field? You can frolic barefoot. Have crazy wild hair. And it all just fits in perfect with the personality a field has. Imperfection. Here’s the inspiration board I gave to my stylists:

It was, by far, my most favorite shoot. Not only did it bring back good memories from my very first promo shoot (we shot at the same location), but some of my most favorite pieces are featured in this shoot. And yes, the styling is incredible. Can’t forget about that.

I’m becoming more and more attached to pretty styling. I’m starting to follow many more stylists, because I can’t help but be inspired by their work. I fell in love with the styling of Kari Herer a couple weeks ago, how she mixes sketched drawings with real blooms in her styling work. And then you come across Dietlind Wolf, an artist with a similar style but oh so different. Yes, I have fallen for Dietlind Wolf too. Just wonderful. Love the use of blooms with other mediums like wire and what looks like paper…

See more of her work via her blog. So much pretty over there, so make sure you stop by.

    The ideas you share are always so fun and inspiring! But what makes them really special is the creativity and flair with which you present them on each post. Always a delight!
