Jon & Sam Downtown Dallas Engagement Shoot

Romance is an adventure. The initial attraction to falling deeply in love; getting to know someone better than you know yourself and learning from each other to help each other grow. For this couple whose "hearts are in Dallas" we wanted a location that complemented the serenity and deep love for each other, while offering a vibrant and dynamic backdrop that set the tone for capturing Jon and Sam's passion and playfulness when they are together. 

“When picking out this couples outfit for the engagement shoot, I knew I wanted to capture the simplicity of their love while highlighting their passions for one another. Starting with this dreamy wrap dress from Planet Blue with added accessories from Lion and Witch. To compliment her airy look, I decided to dress Jon in a blue suit from Suit Supply and then paired it with suspenders and a light pink tie. This look was completed not by just my styling and Rebecca’s photos, but how their love for each other makes you feel.
Words I keep thinking of when seeing these photos- Airy Romance, Passion, Sexy, Cool ”

THE MEETUP || GO!FORTH

A single white linen-covered table runs directly through the center of a local Dallas boutique, clothing racks surrounding the perimeter of the store, and fresh flowers, girly wine, boxed waters, and succulents heavily dot the room. Girls are welcomed in, promptly, about 2 minutes to show time because fashionably early is the new trend and everyone is eager to get started. 

Starting with a welcome toast and an outline of the evening, Ashley at The Teach Diva, hosted by The Meetup at Lion & Witch sat down to start sharing her blogging wisdom with the class. Blogging, as most know, has evolved into equal parts art form and personal business for many women in particular. Equipped with a folder full of note paper, an outline of the evening, useful tools and tips, and wine, snacks, and water, the eager bloggers, stylists, graphic designers, self-starters, and the like, introduced themselves and then eagerly listened and took notes on the invaluable information shared with them by Ashley.
