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 :)
