FREESTYLE /// VOLUME 06 : HAUTE PINK

This weeks street style turned out crazy cool.  We shot this after we spent a whole day shooting the Camilyn Beth spring/summer lookbook with Ashten last week.  Funny how that happens sometimes... we were so tired and ready to wrap up the day then BAM...pictures we are both so pleased with.  That whole day was amazing actually and I can't wait to share more!  By the way, baseball caps are so hot right now and Cami is going to be selling these pink logo hats on her new fabulous site.  TA DA!

 Behind the inspiration for this...I have always been in love with magazines. The combination of photos and design in fashion ads is what gets me I think.  Nylon magazine's editorials are some of my favorites for this reason.  Even though we have good ole Pinterest these days, I still get excited to take a monthly trip to the bookstore for an iced latte and the latest Elle, Vogue, and Nylon...only to flip through the ads and editorials without reading a single word, oh well. 

  I went a little crazy with the paintings on these but they are so fun to make and well...very me!  I have another fun shoot today that I'm also styling (for the first time in awhile).  I'm excited to work with another new model and have my awesome friend Ali along for hair and makeup (she does my hair and is amazing!).  Then we are off for the weekend with Hunters family to go camping at their property a couple hours away.  We are having a celebration of life for his grandfather who passed away this month.  I'm looking forward to stepping away from technology and indulge in family and friends and the natural beauty that surrounds that place.  

Hope everyone has a bright and happy weekend xx

CAMILYN BETH TURNS ONE!

A huge, happy FIRST birthday to Camilyn Beth! 

I'm so proud of my best friend and SO excited for the future of Camilyn Beth.  It has been crazy awesome to be a part of Cami's journey as a designer.  It goes way back to even before we went to fashion school yearrrrs ago!  To watch someone's dreams unfold, especially someone you love and a company you believe in, it's just so inspiring to say the least.  

I have always been excited to see what Cami was going to come up with next.  Even before Camilyn Beth, she has always been bursting with creativity, determination, passion, and excitement for art and fashion.  One thing I have always admired about Cami is her ability to remain positive no matter what.  We all know how hard your first year of business can be, this has been my first too...there were times I complained to her, complained a lot actually, on the verge of tears...she always has something encouraging and uplifting to say.  That optimism and ability to see the best in each situation just adds that much more to the success of her business. 

I always knew she was going to make this dream happen one day.  And well, she has definitely made in happen in a big way.  And in just her first official year!  I am excited to see Camilyn Beth grow and especially to keep dreaming up shoots and ideas alongside my sweet friend.  

The most exciting news of all is the launch of her NEW site today! Hop on over to camilynbeth.com to see!

Congratulations and... 

FREESTYLE /// VOLUME 05 : FRESH TA DEATH

I think this weeks "freestyle" street style is my favorite so far.  The colors of this building are so fresh and crisp, perfect for the start of summer.  It helps that Cami is so effortlessly cool, she really brings so much life to my pictures.  I always leave our "Mondays Funday's" feeling fresh and inspired for the week.  A little extended silliness after the weekend never hurts.  Of course I had to play around with a few and put several Cami's into one photo, hence gifting myself a new summer web background!  

Hope you're now feeling brighter on this Tuesday morning! xx

FREESTYLE : VOLUME 4 // STREET ART + COLOR POPS

 I've always been a huge fan of graffiti art.  There is just something so fun and energetic about the style and array of colors.  How great is the giant lizard? Just look at how graphic and intricate his design is. This pop of blue in Cami's dress was perfection.  These were taken last week when we were location scouting around downtown Sarasota.  We discovered lots of little back alleys and side streets with all kinds of awesome stuff happening...many hidden treasures in the Rosemary District.

STYLED: CAMILYN BETH X SHANNON KIRSTEN VOLUME 03

This week's post was such a fun remix of the style shoots Cami and I have been doing together.  This is actually a little sneak peek of what is to come in her fall line...I mean a very tiny preview, she's got a lot of great stuff cookin' up folks!  These shoots have been so much fun for us...it's inspiring to work with one of my best friends (especially since she is someone who just oozes creativity and great ideas), we've been exploring new places, and have time in between to just chat, catch up, and throw ideas back and forth.  It's always nice to step away from the computer and out of the office to do something extra that inspires you. I hope you guys are liking these as much as we are! Keep an eye out for next weeks, it's awesome.  xx
