Whimsically Romantic Styled Shoot

Being fairly new in the area I wasn't all that familiar with all the top local creatives. The initial idea started out small but I just love how one thing kept leading to another enabling my little seedling to grow into a gorgeous flower. Super blessed to have crossed paths with each and every creative that was involved. We fused together our talent and passion and created this lovely vintage inspired, whimsically romantic styled shoot.

Thank you for Stephen and Howard from Stephward Estate (wedding venue) for being so welcoming and allowing us to use your luscious green gardens. Thank you Leandri and Marisa from Cutting Edge Hair & Beauty Salon for blessing us not only with the gorgeous hair and makeup but with your lovely, positive presence. Always such a pleasure to be around. Thank you to the stunning models, Bianca for offering up your time and being so supportive and willing throughout the shoot. I love your sense of humor and your bubbly personality. Thank you La-Cell for taking a day off work and being there. Thank you for being patient and kind and supporting me from the very start. You rocked it through all the pregnancy tiredness without complaining even once and I respect you so much for that. Thank you Wendy, Kezia and team from Table Tops And Teas for all the planning, resources, expertise and effort that went into this shoot. I love how you can be so busy but still find time to look and see the smallest of detail, it makes you spectacular in what you do. Thank you Lauren from Arabella Cakes for cakes so beautiful that it looked more like art and tasted like it to. Thank you Maxine fromForever After for designing and making the beautiful dresses.

I am in such awe of the talent and passion each and everyone of you have for what you do, couldn't have asked for a better first styled shoot experience and I absolutely consider myself lucky to have crossed paths you ♥
