Oh friends, I have been waiting with bated breath to share these photos with you. I had the privilege of being a part of this incredible shoot, which actually took place right behind my parents’ house in Carmel Valley, California. (Lucky dogs, aren’t they?) As soon as I told my friend Jess (who also happens to be an incredible wedding photographer) about my blog, I could see the inspiration for this shoot dancing in her eyeballs. I couldn’t have been more thrilled that she wanted to do this. We teamed up with an incredible group of vendors who were amazingly generous, as well as three beautiful ladies who offered themselves as models, and voila! Magic. Feast your eyes on these beauties.
