Mini Fashion Session | Olivia's "Night Out"


"Elegance is the only beauty that never fades"
-Audrey Hepburn


If there is one thing to be said about Olivia it is that she is one of the most elegant youngins' I have ever met!  Her presence is never without grace and she has an impeccable sense of style.  

A combo of natural beauty, sophistication, and youth made her so easy to photograph.  

This shoot was another mini fashion session for D.C. based boutique Proper Topper's fall brochure

Enjoy!

Kim & James | Mini Fall Lifestyle Shoot


FALLing in love.....

There are so many wonderful things to say about Kim and James!  To steer away from this shoot being too "engagement" I shall refrain from discussing their OBVIOUS chemistry and love/passion for one another (Do with that what you will!).

This shoot was another fun one for the delightful boutique Proper Topper to use for their Fall brochure.  Just a good ol' casual lifestyle shoot.  

Scenario: Beautiful couple playfully engaging on a brisk fall day before/after casually hat shopping.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Meet PRESSED | Fashion Session

"I like my money where I can see it, hanging in my closet"
- Carrie Bradshaw

I have recently become involved with a new girl boss venture!  

A wonderful co-worker and friend of mine started up a new business in the city and invited me to join!  I am so excited to be a part of PRESSED and join the team as photographer, stylist and thrifting expert.

This first photo session for the Pressed Blog was so much fun to do and I cannot wait for the next one.

I am so lucky to have people in my life that believe in me and want me to be a part of their life ventures!

Girl Bosses UNITE.

Karissa

Fall Fashion | Proper Topper Lifestyle Shoot

Fall Fashion: Cute boots, cozy scarves, and a dash of happiness

Fall fashion is by far my favorite.  Before our lives are consumed by a rigid winter we get a chance to enjoy throwing on a light jacket and scarf over our cute dresses.  Personally, my scarf collection begs for a new member and boots consume a good portion of my daily fantasizing.  

Combining my love of fashion with photography is something I had never considered.  Being a part of this lifestyle shoot for Proper Topper's Fall collection was a blast.

Note:  These photos were taken in 90 degree weather!  What extraordinary trooper models.
