Girls Got Style

I think we can all agree that the clothes we choose to wear say a lot about who we are and our personalities.  Even if we don’t want them too.  The same goes for your wedding dress.  You want your guests to say WOW she looks stunning and that dress is totally her.
You know that feeling when you put on your favorite outfit, the one you would wear everyday if you saw different people?  You can walk into a room and know you look good, because you feel good.  That’s what your wedding dress should feel like.  Like it’s a part of you and your personality.  You can look in the mirror and grin ear to ear. Hell without looking in the mirror, just know radiate.
It’s a lot to ask of a dress, but when there are a million styles and types out there I’m confident you’ll find the perfect one.  Bring your friend(s) that will be honest and know you.  Truly know you.  They’ll be the ones to spot the perfect dress that was made for you.

On a side note, I crave inspiration and creative outlet.  Two things that can be scary and thrilling all at once.  Today happens to be a bit on the scary side.  Finding peace in the fact that I don’t have to ‘succeed’ in the way I thought in order to be successful.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on my new promo video

Be who you are

BE who you are and DO what you love.  Period.  Don’t worry about what others think and sensor who you truly are to ‘fit’ in.  Get excited, I mean really excited!  Life could use more excitement and less mediocre.  Then spread that excitement and passion to everyone you meet.  Don’t get caught up in worrying about things you can’t control.  Do your best and work your ass off.  Leave it all on the field.  Don’t make excuses for why things aren’t going a certain way.  Be honest and genuine, people crave and need more of that in life.  Inspire and get excited for other people’s accomplishments, they worked their ass off too.
Above all follow your heart and do what inspires you and lights your fire.  It won’t lead you astray.
Dream big, you never know when your dreams will come true.  Keeping a positive attitude can be challenging.  And I’m definitely still working on it, but reading and writing puts things into perspective.

Delight in full bloom

Can you smell the lilac and crab apple trees?  I clipped lilac off the bush and set a huge vase of them on the kitchen counter and the entire house smells so heavenly.  Why is this the first year I’ve done that?  It should be a spring ritual, just something that thrusts spring into the entire house.  Even if the storm windows are still on.
The past few weeks have been just gorgeous and warm.  Perfect for a spring inspiration shoot.  I paired up with Bare Root Flora, Common Couture and Frills Cake Shop and our gorgeous models Seth & Holly to do a spring shoot.  I’m in love with how it turned out!  And I’m not even done editing or seen the film yet.  But *sigh* the colors and the light just exude romance.  Just how spring should be. A little sneak peak at what’s to come.  :) Do you have a favorite spring bloom?  I’d love to hear your thoughts, right a comment.

Couple’s Session; Kelly and Mason

You know when you meet someone and you just know they get you.  You’re in sink from the first moment.  Kelly and Mason are my kinda people.  Easy laid back and totally utterly in love with each other.  They just melt into each other. There were several time I’m sure they forgot I was even there.  And Kelly’s style…oh yeah I think she went shopping in my closest!
After canceling our first date due to illness and horrible weather I was bummed.  But I’m so glad we did because the weather was perfect and Mason now actually wanted to kiss his beautiful bride!  Bonus!

Seriously so much fun hanging out with you guys!  Next time needs to include drinks! :)
xoxo – Rachael
