I am so excited to show you these photos of gorgeous Jill Brooks that we shot on a super hot and humid day in Nashville a few weeks ago. I have mentioned Jill several times before here on the blog and im sure you know by now how much I love working with this talented girl! We did these photos for her promotional material and future music project that she is currently writing for. She released her first album to iTunes a few weeks ago and it did really well. She covered some really great songs that you should check out. Her next project will be original songs and I am super excited to hear what she comes up with! 

I hope you enjoy the photos! Leave a comment below if you'd like :)

Another little sneak peak of my session with Jill Brooks!

I have fallen head over my new leopard heels in love with pro markers! I did this quick drawing/illustration last night and you can be expecting plenty more! I have always been painting and drawing, mostly acrylics, but never gotten into markers before yesterday. It is so fun and so challenging. I love taking on new tasks and learning new skills, it inspires me. To me inspiration doesn't just show up one day, I have to just get into it and then the inspiration always follows. That is why painting and photography goes hand in hand for me. I get inspiration for my photoshoots when I paint and vice versa :) Hope you like!
(I know the heels don't go well with my dress but I just wanted to show my new find to ya)

Here is what I wore today in this 90 degree weather. I like combining colors of opposites (is that the correct term?) like yellow and purple. The Swedish part of the outfit today was the lace skirt I got in Atlanta from h&m! Hope you are having a wonderful day and staying hydrated, especially if you are located in hot hot Tennessee!

One of my favorite designer brands is BCBG. I just love their well made and well fitted clothes and shoes. Remember I was looking for a dress for the Dove awards? I searched everywhere and couldn't really find anything that I loved. I looked at Posh, Nordstrom, Dillard's, Macy's and online. My best friend and I had a much needed date a few weekends ago and she was helping me to look for THE dress, and we found it! We found the dress at Belk, of all places. She was such a good help and we had so much fun! I'm so thankful for my friend. 

I found these lovely cobalt colored shoes from BCBG that will add a pop of color to the more neutral dress. Im also planning on wearing lashes and red lipstick, pretty brave huh? Very unlike me, but I like it :) 

What do you think of the shoes?

Silver dress with some sequin. From the beginning I wanted the whole dress to be sequin but this one changed my mind ;) like it?

Hot red lipstick and lashes to complete the look! I will make sure to post photos from the awards so you can see the final outfit :)

The awards is in Atlanta, April 19th, and I'm gonna go to IKEA and h&m the day after to satisfy my Swedish urges ;)
