Bookish Dreamer

” I had been dreaming up this concept for almost a year… I pictured a bookish girl picnicking by herself, lost in her books and thoughts, drinking tea, taking in the peaceful silence and daydreaming. I asked my good friend Beth Bevelhymer, who shoots Seniors as I do, if she wanted to shoot a styled session with me… She said she’d love to! We both agreed that we would shoot entirely film, we knew the dreamy look we were going for would be perfectly captured by film. We gathered a vintage quilt, some vintage/ decorative books, a silver teapot, some beautiful flowers for color, and my Ralph Lauren tea set… The props looked great together and Lauren’s outfit was the final piece of the puzzle. We wanted muted colors and a slightly boho/romantic look, so we went with olive, cream and navy clothes. The gold jewelry was the finishing touch. ” – Erin
