✨ IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO CREATE ✨

There’s something pretty magical about watching a creative vision come to life — and this shoot was the perfect reminder that it truly takes a village.

Three beautiful models, an incredible wardrobe team, four talented hair & makeup artists, a photographer, videographer, and another creative capturing all of those behind-the-scenes moments that tell the story of what it takes to create the final image. 🤍

We spent the day creating at the beautiful Southwind Gardens in Irvine, surrounded by more than six acres of gorgeous nursery plants, greenery and the most incredible Zen-inspired backdrops. Every corner gave us something new to work with. 🌿✨

Creating with three models and a team this size was such an amazing experience. So many moving parts, so many hands, so much talent — wardrobe being pulled and styled, hair changing, makeup being perfected, cameras rolling, BTS being captured…and everyone working together toward the same vision.

The finished photograph may capture one beautiful moment, but behind that moment is an entire team of creatives making it happen.

THE VILLAGE 🤍

So grateful for days like this, for the people we get to create alongside, and for the reminder that great work is never created by just one person.

It takes a village. And this was one beautiful village. 🤍✨

Yesterday they were towels....today they're handbags.
Giving something a second life is what I enjoy best!

Back in my happy place lately. ✨

I always come back to this...finding textiles I love and turning them into something new, never seems to get old.

Thank you to everyone who's given my handmade pieces a home. 💖✨
