I’ve had this idea in my head for awhile… a bridal shoot, with a soft, lacy, vintage vibe. Well my friend and stylist, Tara, made my vision come to life! Thank you Tara for all of your hard work! And a special thank you to our fabulous model, Kari –you killed it girl! I couldn’t have asked for better.
Enjoy some pretty pictures…
Current clothing obsession: Shirt dresses
I love them! They are seriously SO COMFORTABLE and you can wear them in a variety of different ways; with belts, jackets, boots, sandals etc. And in most weather conditions from spring to fall!
Whenever I can’t find exactly what I’m looking for in a retail store, I go thrifting. I love finding something one of a kind and reworking it to create exactly what I want…
I found this baby at Goodwill for $5, at first glance I think it screams HOMESCHOOL MOM FROM THE 90′S!!! Relax, I was a homeschool kid, with a homeschool Mom from the 90′s whom I love very, very much….so I’m allowed to joke about it.
I basically just cut it off and hemmed it (and when I say “I” , I mean my Mom, she is much better at hemming than I am), switched out the original belt for this brown one, and rolled up the sleeves. BOOM. DONE. Brand new shirt dress, that I’ve worn once so far, but has gotten me several compliments and two honks (:

Okay, I have to know. How do you sit in a dress that length! I have not figured it out!!! I have one a bit longer that I have not worn out so far. I am pretty sure I would flash everyone.
It is adorable though 
hahah very ladylike, either cross your legs or your ankles…or sometimes I do wear bicycle shorts underneath a dress I’m not sure about! Or you could always do leggings! They’d be super cute with this… Post pics of your dress Danielle, I wanna see!!
We will see. I already had one of the boys lift up my dress to my underwear while at a church garage sale. It scared me…
While interning with Sarah Barlow in Nashville, I had the huge honor of photographing Chantelle Paige! Chantelle is a singer/songwriter, working in Nashville. Check out her work here! She is not only gorgeous and talented, but SUCH a sweet person! I met her just a few minutes before we started shooting, but we all had so much fun! Lots of laughs on both sides of the camera… She is a natural and boy did she bring itttttt…..

Beautiful! Love the last location!
I love love love this pictures! we’ve been waiting for so long for a new photoshoot of Chantelle, and finally we got it! Thanks for showing the pics! I’m getting a link to your blog on my site
Last weekend I had the enourmous privilege of interning with Sarah Barlow. Sarah is a fashion and editorial photographer based in Nashville, TN.
I had been looking for a photographer to intern with to help me on certain areas of my business. When I came across Sarah online, I immediately knew her internship was for me. I was drawn to Sarah not only because she is a fantastic photographer, but because of her personality. Even online I could just tell THIS GIRL IS FUN! (score).
Plus Sarah lives in Nashville , one of my favorite cities ever (double score)…
Sarah is extremely energetic and bubbly, an amazing artist and SO business savvy. Yes, there was much I could learn from her.
Learn I did…laughing all the way! Sarah is such a fantastic person to be around. Her laughter is contagious and she is literally a knee slapper (as in if she slaps her knee you know you really made her laugh). She’s super easy going and makes everything an adventure –even getting locked out of her house! Sarah and I have so many things in common, from what we eat to our love of list making. It was very easy to learn from her. She teaches things so naturally and from her heart, she truly has a desire to see others succeed.
breaking back into Sarah's house only took one large brick, a trash can and some mad ninja skills on Sarah's part.

Sarah is my kinda girl, a coffee house girl! We’d take our computers and work out of two of the best local places in Nashville, CREMA and The Frothy Monkey .
The Frothy Monkey
I am so thankful that I did this internship! Sarah has inspired me so much! Everything she taught me has already helped me move my business forward and I am a better person for knowing her.
If you are a photographer and thinking about her internship I cannot recommend it enough, SERIOUSLY, it will grow you leaps and bounds!!!!!
**We also did a photo shoot for this beauty….more of those photos tomorrow!**

This is a blog entry I wrote on 10-26-2010. I had just made the decision to leap into the business side of photography and actually pursue it. like for real.
I had no idea what I was doing. I had so many things to learn. So what do I do when I am overwhelmed? Type it out for the entire world to see, if they so chose. I’ve said it a million times before, but there is truly something so therapeutic about writing. So this night, I guess I was feeling particularly discouraged, because I logged on to blogger and created a whole new account just so I could write what I was feeling and release it into dark internet void, where it was probably never read by anyone. Nonetheless, it was a catharsis for me.
I am so happy I just came across this post. It’s cool to look back and see where you came from, where you made it to, and look forward to where you are going.
10-26-10 baby {freakin’} steps…
ahh, baby steps. I know them all too well. I wish I were the type of person that “gets” things like THAT! (SNAP-OF-THE-FINGERS-FAST!)… but, I would say that ballroom dancing, driving manual, and applying liquid eye liner are all things proving that for me sometimes it just take’s good old fashioned hard work, determination and TIME……[audible sigh]. I want to run before I walk.
I get an idea in my head and I am on steps 5, 7 and 12 before even considering steps one through four. Jane Austen described it best in Pride and Prejudice:
“A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment”.
Jane, girl, you are timeless! That is so true…
Even though something doesn’t come naturally to me, that end result is what I see. And that vision, that I want to produce, that is what drives me to put in the time and go the extra mile learning something new. And in the end. oh the beautiful end. [I hope]It will all be worth it.
Beginnings are never easy. They require a certain strength, a declaration of war against the spirit of negativism, a first step on the water. – Jana Kehoe Bigger “Then Came a Miracle”
SIDE NOTE: I still cannot drive stick.
