I started the day with Stefanie Montemayor! She’s a talented gal herself with a beautiful voice. You can check out her youtube channel here :)
We went to a lemon grove and she tried on the dress from CoralieBeatrix. It’s amazing because you can wrap it in a hundred different ways… just got to get creative!
DVUCreations is a blossoming (pun intended) small business that Andrea Vargas started. She makes one of a kind hair designs by beading on the flowers and making head bands with them as well. I thought it would be fun to do a little shoot to promote her business! Brit Gallagher (Miss Costa Mesa 2014!) and Stefanie Montemayor are both my lovely models for this.
I love this next set of photos… So dreamy and whimsical. Brit has such mesmerizing eyes!
I also love being in the woodsy setting.
Andrea Vargas is the cutie in the middle!
