Rustic Caramel Fall Shoot

filed in:

is here!!! It’s so funny, the rest of the world talks about Friday as if “they’ve MADE IT!!!”…. and I think of Friday as, “This is my last day to get stuff done!”. :) Our job makes our week look so different from what normal people experience. But I’ll take it! … Because I just rolled out of bed at 9:00 and I’m blogging in yoga pants. So life is good. I’ll take working on Saturdays over having a strict, concrete schedule during the week ANYDAY! One thing that our schedule allows us to do is plan workshops during the week.

We are wrapping up our fall season of workshops and this shoot was featured just in time to make the blog this week!! So I apologize for the abundance of Workshop related posts, it’s just that season for us!! I hope you enjoy this shoot that was styled by the incredible Amanda Veronee!! This shoot is a perfect way to end a very “Fall” week for us Virginians. We’re still able to walk outside without a coat but yet it’s chilly enough to make you want to drink hot chocolate… or in this case, hot cider!! Enjoy this shoot from the September workshop experience!!!

BIG thanks to the following amazing people and businesses:

Florals and Styling: Amanda Veronee

Hair and Makeup: Emily Hudspeth

Vintage Rentals: Paisley and Jade

Calligraphy: The Weekend Type

Paper Decor Design : Sweet Pear Paper

Cake : Fat Girl Cakes

Every Last Detail for the sweet feature!!!

Thanks for reading!
