We've been doing our best to soak up the gorgeous August weather here in Grand Forks since I'm getting a little nervous about the 40 below zero winter that I keep hearing about...so until then we will bask in the backyard together. For Charlie, preferably without shorts on.

So excited to see the new Fall designs hit the Southern Proper website! As always, I just marvel at how they piece it all together. The best part of this shoot is the Behind the Scenes video that the amazingly talented Hodges Usry pieced together from our day. It's very clear that we manage to have a good time while shooting this awesome brand!!

Well, it's official! The Spring line for SP is now featured on their website and it's gorgeous! Pretty amazing considering we shot everything in Charleston back in November - and yes, it was 8 months preggo while we shot all this, so I think that I take an extra grain of pride in it! The SP ladies are nothing short of genius with creating these amazing looks for their brand, and I just so very much enjoy being able to come alongside them and really capture their vision through my camera. So thank you thank you for letting me shoot with you again.

The other exciting element of this line is that Ross has expressed a willingness to wear a purple dress shirt, ha! Now that is something for a farm boy who insists that jean shorts are making a comeback :)

Now go buy yourself a fabulous bow tie and check out their witty new PC shorts while you are there! southernproper.com

So, with a warm Valentine's weekend approaching it only feels right to make sure you know that the GLORIOUS Towne & Reese Spring line is now available online (click here for the online store) as well as retail stores. I mentioned back in October or November how excited I was about all the new additions because, I tell you what, this brand just keeps getting better and better. They have some awesome new bracelets... amazing chunky and fun necklaces, and to-die-for earrings too! Shooting all these pieces made me want to own every single one!

ALSO, congratulations to Jessica and Christi on the T&R features in Redbook magazine last month and Real Simple this month!

Well, some exciting news about Towne & Reese...

All their amazing baubles are now available online for purchase at a fabulous site they created, Queen Street,  as well as adding a store locator to their wholesale site so that you can find where to browse the fabulous stuff in person. We also just shot their Spring/Summer line and let me just tell you... holy moly, it's flipping fabulous. I'll post some images from that soon.

I'm so excited that this online shop is up and running in time for Christmas shopping!!
