INSPIRED BY

...these neutral colors and interesting textures.  This palette inspires me so much that I dedicated a board to some creamy, natural images (link above). 

May has flown by and I haven't blogged much lately.  We've had some personal things going on that have left me a little uninspired.  Plus with traveling for work I can't seem to feel caught up.  I guess everyone goes through this once in awhile.  I'm trying to find new ways to get inspired, look beyond my normal sources of inspiration, and experiment with new techniques.  What are some ways you get your groove back when you feel it's long gone?  I'll be pinteresting hard core this weekend, finding new things and artists online, a fresh perspective, usually helps me. Be back to normal with some new works soon. xox

OFFICE ADDITIONS : THE PERFECT DESK LAMP





My mom and I went crazy at Ikea the other day.  It was long over due.  I go in phases of being really into getting my office space in shape, then the busyness of work / life takes over and I go back to being unorganized.  Things have been especially busy this spring, so with growth comes change.  I decided it's time to start thinking of practical (yet still pretty and inspiring) ways to keep everything is order.  What better place to start getting some staples than Ikea... I just appreciate the many color and size options and how items still look sleek without breaking the bank.  Among other things I got the other day, this lamp was a little extra find that I intend to use for sketching.  I'm crazy obsessed with it, but it's little brass details and black and white patterned cord are irresistible! And perfectly inline with the style of my studio.  The floor lamp version of this was quite tempting as well (maybe for the living room).  More updates soon xo

PAINTED PHOTOS // A FLORAL FEAST





If you follow my photography work as well, you'll know that I have been experimenting with studio settings lately.  I've been wanting to try some just-for-fun things that would allow me to combine my paintings with my photography.  I wanted to shoot these white and bright to make a simple palette for drawing over.  I just tried a few to start and also painted a backdrop for this shoot as well (middle photo).  I love doing things like this that allow me to combine my favorite things, hoping to make a full series in the future.  You can see more on my photography blog - shannonkirstenphoto.com/blog

INSPIRED BY: CREAMY TEXTURES



images found here, along with more neutral textured inspiration

A bit of inspiration for the week.  I've been so inspired by neutrals lately.  To the point where I spent some time cleaning up my Pinterest this week and dedicating a few new boards to "natural" colors and elements.  I'm looking forward to directing these ideas into new projects sometime soon.  As for now, I'm just trying to stay up on e-mails, calligraphy, and creating a spring line of prints and cards! Exciting! 

Hope everyone is having a lovely week! Stay tuned for some new work posting soon. xox

HOME SWEET HOME



There not many things I enjoy more than traveling.  Although, coming back home is one of the best parts. Everything seems that much more cozy and welcoming.  I had a BLAST in New Orleans this weekend! but I'm excited to get back to work on fall projects and editing lots of photos.  I also missed these fur balls and Hunter so much.  I love how excited the animals are to see me after I've been gone, they are my favorite, sweetest little nuggets.  I am so looking forward to sharing some Nola snaps and behind the scenes of Camilyn Beth's first fashion show!  More on that soon.

WEEKEND INSPIRATION / RELAX






This is what I want my weekend to look like. 
These soft tones are so relaxing.  Combined with baking and iced coffees...  It doesn't get much better.

WEEKEND WEAR : GIRLS TRIP




I'm off to spend the weekend pool side with my favorite ladies.  I wish packing was as easy as putting these digital outfits together. These are my ideal looks for days spent by the pool and nights on the town with the best girls I know!  Happy first day of summer!

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
