Round two for Canvas boutique in St. Pete! This time we galavanted around downtown St. Pete with ice cream cones, gold pineapples, and deeply fabulous outfits! It was such a joy to photograph these lovely ladies and keep everything fun, vibrant, and on brand. But my favorite part is working with other female business owners. Being able to effectively communicate their dreams through my images is amazing.

Yahoo! Another amazing local brand and I have teamed up to keep their content fresh and fun! The new Canvas Boutique off 4th Ave in St. Pete is the cutest and coolest shop ever!! They have such great style and I love all of the goooooooold! Here are some highlights from our first shoot together, more to come!

AHHHHHHHH!!!! I LOVED this shoot so much!! I was thrilled to photograph the rest of Seventh Ave Apothecary’s awesome line of products, plus their head shots, plus some styled product shots! YES!! With the help of Tufted Vintage Rentals we were able to highlight their unique scent combinations with fresh fresh ingredients and perfect details. Feast your eyes! Oh if only there was smell-o-vision already!

This was such a crazy fun day at the studio! We had families of all shapes and sizes coming through by the hour. Goofing around with kids and parents all day was actually really fantastic! And man did they nail it! We shot this awesome line of comfy casual wear for the whole family against the white seamless so that they could be used in the Spring Look Book! I love seeing my work in print! 

What stands out most in my mind from this day was a phone call between the bride and groom just before the white dress went on. The forecast for the day was dismal. Wind and rain threatened all day. But their vision was of a wide open reception under the sky and market lights…not the plan B ballroom. The time to make the call came and went a few times and everyone had their own opinion. Ben called Ann, and he said, you know what, let’s risk it. We have dreamed of what we want, and you know what if taking a risk together on our wedding day is what we do then lets do it, together. Cue tears!

My favorite part of the reception has to be the toasts! The MOH had everyone laughing with her awesome speech highlighting how wonderfully dorky she and Delisa had been growing up in London in the 90’s. And Josh’s big brother brought everyone to tears with his sincere and heart melting toast. Perfection.
