Every time I drove past the dreamy hills in my neighborhood, visions of floppy hats, beach waves & maxi skirts danced in my head. When I decided to pull together a Senior Rep session, I KNEW I had to do a boho theme. This gorgeous session is one I am very proud of & it truly took a village to pull it off! Hair & makeup was absolutely FLAWLESS thanks to Oceanside’s Influence Salon. My expectations were extraordinarily exceeded by the service at influence. My girls were given a celebrity treatment there & were made to feel like princesses. When I asked for a messy fishtail braid, my model got one heck of a fishtail braid. When I asked for beachy, boho waves, my model got the most amazing, soft, voluminous waves I had ever seen. So basically what I am saying is that they have the ability to read thoughts at influence.
Another huge contributing element was the AMAZING wardrobe styling at Blue & Shoes Boutique in on Carlsbad Village Drive. Holy cow. I basically told their stylist the look I was going for & she overwhelmed (in the best way) with options! They know their fashion at Blues & Shoes. They put together pieces I never would have thought to piece together. Their prices were so reasonable & the accessories were TO DIE for. So basically if you have been shopping at H&M or Forever 21 all this time & you are tired of everyone looking at your outfit & knowing exactly where it came from, or owning it themselves, you need to get your booty down to Blues & Shoes. Same prices, better quality & more unique pieces. I seriously feel like I struck gold when I discovered this place. They have two sister shops in the area. Ragz Dresswear & The Beat. So if you do head down to Blues & Shoes, and think to yourself “I LOVE this place, but I just wish it was bigger with more options!” You just need to go next door & you’ve got your wish.
Now let’s talk about my gorgeous Senior Reps! These girls blew me away. They were so sweet, smart & talented and ALL naturals in front of the camera. None of them have professional modeling experience, which is a total shocker to me because they nailed every shot. At the end of the session I had way too many killer shots to choose from. So here they are in all their glory! Misa, Hailey & Krysten!
& there ya have it! All in all, the day was a complete success & I couldn’t be prouder.
Hope you enjoyed!
