Behind the Scenes: Look Book Spring/Summer 2015

The last few weeks have been full of developing and producing the new honey my heart collection. A mix of minimal and major, gold lines and beads, and lots of love, the collection reflects me and life. In preparation for the reveal of the new collection at the upcoming shows, we shot the honey my heart Spring Summer 2015, and here are some behind the scenes photos!

Fresh purple blossoms I picked while on a neighborhood walk. I like forage gardening ;)

A few of my display components got a fresh coat of paint. I think the light lavender and deep gold/bronze colors work nicely with one another and complement my gold jewelry nicely.

So many earring pairs ready for their turn. Also some new rings and updated styles to current rings.

Playing with various wood pieces (panels, canvas, and cones) to set the scene for each mini collection.

I got a sneak peek of the photos and can't wait to share them all in our upcoming Look Book!

An Afternoon at Griffith Park

My days are usually filled with nesting, planning, designing, and reading (w/ some tv shows & espn), but today was a bit different. In anticipation of baby and ready to plan the next few months for the jewelry line, we scheduled a dual maternity and jewelry look book shoot with one of my favorite photographers and online friends Nina of Love & Lemonade Photography.

We spent the late afternoon shooting at Griffith Park. First up was jewelry. I am building my classics collection and slightly transitioning my style, so I wanted a look book full of what's familiar and what's coming for this year. It's also going to help our re-branding project that is currently in the works. Nina took charge and styled the shoot so well! My brain is currently always on baby mode, so Nina's creativity for display and lay out of the jewelry through nature was so great. I caught some glimpses from her camera and am so excited!

After the jewelry came the maternity shoot. The light was soft and the temperature was cool. As photos of us were snapped, we felt completely at ease and loved the of focus on the bump. We brought some props (baby's name banner and yesterday's ultrasound photos) and our instant camera for some quick fun. In my current uncomfortable state, Nina made me feel comfortable and good :)

Half way through the jewelry.

I liked the shadow that these connected hearts cast.

Oh bump, how you grow! So fun to look down and see this.

A little sneak of the maternity photos. Love these instant prints!!

It's such a treat to get out of the house and enjoy a beautiful LA day. Hope you are all doing well :)

Summer 2012 Look Book

Fresh from last week's teaser and little feature on Love & Lemonade, I am now happy and so excited to share honey my heart's first look book! Inside is a collection of signature honey my heart pieces. Shot on location in downtown Santa Barbara, it has a completely SB feel with a simplistically chic look and pops of color. I must thank Nina of Love & Lemonade for her styling and stunning photos. It was an honor to work with her, I am in love with these photos and can't wait to use them in future marketing materials.

Hope you like the book!

A Day at the Office

Today was one of those awesome work days. And I'm not talking about a regular 9-5 day at the office, but a work for yourself and create day! Today I met up with Nina of Love and Lemonade at the SB Historical Museum and we shot the honey my heart look book!

The weather was perfect, the lighting superb, and the sneak peeks I got of the jewelry made my heart flutter.

 

Not a bad office ;)

 

Nina working her magic. She styled my jewelry in ways that I did not think to, and I was impressed with how the photos were coming out.

 

 

And here is a little sneak peek of what is to come! The above photo is from Love and Lemonade's Instagram account.

Happy Wednesday :)
