I’m actually so excited to share with you April’s gear and style pages from GRM (Grand Rapids Magazine).  The gear page was probably one of my favourites to style. It was so much fun. And pulling for the style page was fun!

For the gear page, as you can tell is gardening. The thing about gardening, it’s not just all plants and tools. It could be anything with flowers or plants on it which I liked. The bee wellies are so cute and I loved adding a plant to one of them. And that pink pot under the bench? That was mine. I had purchased it from Rebel when I was pulling and wasn’t even planning on using it in the shot but got it out of my car when I thought we needed another one.

I love classic polka dots, so this was a lot of fun to pull for for the style page. That jumpsuit is absolutely amazing. I love how it’s both stripes and polka dots! The polka dot top is also super cute and something I would definitely wear. And the rattan bag is so interesting.

Hopefully I will be sharing with you May’s issue of GRM soon. That will be the last one for a while since we have not been able to shoot because of quarantine.

 

 

I was really hoping to share these images from March’s issue of Grand Rapids Magazine last month but with everything going on with Covid-19, they weren’t able to send me the images right away. We were actually suppose to shoot 4 months worth of content later this month but that’s no longer happening. Cannot wait until things go back to normal.

Anyway, onto the images. For the gear page, we went with a travel bag. March is the time for spring break. Unfortunately, no one did much traveling. I really love how this shot turned out. And I found some really cute things in all the local stores. I love the Friends colouring book. It would be nice to have right now as we are all stuck at home. The confetti water bottle is also super cute. It’s from one of my favourite stores I discovered while pulling things for the shoot, Rebel. You might remember last time I was there in October, I bought a French cookbook and 2 pots. This time I bought another pot and a David and Patrick “Simply The Best” mug.

For the fashion page, the trend is denim. I really love that bag from Lennon & Willow. Also love a good chambray shirt and denim jacket. And those two tone jeans are really cool as well.

I’ll be sharing April’s images soo!

 

GRM February 2020: Bar Cart and Urban Jungle

As I mentioned last month, Grand Rapids Magazine is getting a makeover and we are trying to bring focus to local businesses. Each month there is a gear page and a style page. The gear page is typically gender neutral theme.

I absolutely love how this months gear page turned out. The bar cart looks amazing. I would like to give a shoutout to my graphic designer, Keagan, who helped me style and put it together. There were a lot of pieces and I really couldn’t have done it without her. She also brought some of her own stuff from home for the cart, like the plant.

For this month’s style trend, the theme was Urban Jungle or Safari like I kept calling it. Lot’s of camel and cameo pieces. I’m a real big fan of those pants. Not sure if they’d look good on me though.

I’d love to know what you think for both the bar cart and urban jungle pages!!

Ahhh I am so excited to share with you my very first solo bridal shoot for Grand Rapids Magazine. I know how excited some of you were when I shared January’s images. All of these images were shot at the Grand Rapids Art Museum (the GRAM). The day of this shoot did not get off the a great start. Our hair/makeup artist didn’t show up nor could any of us get a hold of her. Luckily, we were able to find Eric who came in to save the day. He arrived within 25 minutes of us contacting him.

I’m honestly not sure which look I like the best. Love the first Haley Paige gown. Absolutely gorgeous. That was our first shot of the morning. You can’t really tell but it’s a pink and champagne coloured dress. I also love the whole entire look with the blue shoes. When I found them online, my art director and graphic designer absolutely loved them and wanted me to request them. Also love the beaded gown. That dress is so heavy. Not sure how some brides do it. Then there is the water colour dress which I think is so unique.

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I got to style Dave Coulier back in July. You probably know Dave as Joey from Full House. Dave grew up in Metro Detroit in St. Clair Shores. Him and his wife recently moved back to Michigan so Hour wanted to do a feature on him for September’s issue.

 

 

Dave is such a genuine nice guy and I had an amazing time on this shoot. If you get the chance, read the article. I personally cannot wait to see what Metro Detroit has in store for him. Who knows, maybe I’ll run into him at a Red Wing game.
