Our goal with this photoshoot was to show the fabrics in a variety of settings, both with and whithout people. We wanted to show how the fabrics move and look and feel. I washed some of the fabrics before the shoot to give them a bit of patina and I really love how they turned out. Some of the photos and fabrics come across as fresh and happy & fun, while others are earthier, moodier or softer. We wanted to show the variety of feelings & moods that couls be created with the line. (55 fabrics in total with 14 different designs.)
Here's part of our gold/ yellow collection on a beautiful antique daybed with little Grizzly taking a nap to show they really are comfy:
{Fabrics pictured: Magnolia in Yellow, Live Paisley in Gold, and Fern Star in Yellow}
Our boys were sooooo good and put up with so much. Here's an outtake of them, totally at the end of their ropes:

I love this photo with the mist on the door to the porch:
We woke up super-early and got some cool pics with fog in the background:

I looooove this outtake... Did you ever play this game with friends when you were little?-
{"Super tall 4 year-old.. ie Christian on Daddy's shoulders. And Kelly Green Cape in Happikat}
{Laundry Line with: Thistle in Sepia, Live Paisley in Antique Beige and Squircles in Fog}
...Anyway, I have so many more pics to share (I think 85 total?!! We took over 1,000!) but I really want you to see them once they have that processing I mentioned. I'm finishing up loading the plain fabric photos onto my online store and will then go back & add in the lifestyle photos & then we'll be ready to launch. We're all moving as quickly as we can!! :)
I can't thank Helen & F.J. enough for the photos & their time, and of course thank you to my family. (I know two of you can't read yet, but I love you more than anything and one day you'll get what a big deal this was to me.)
