Balboa Island Photoshoot Part 2

Chevron Striped Dress- Everly via Shop Sosie
Gold Statement Necklace- Forever 21
Leggings- LC Lauren Conrad
Boots- Payless

     So this is the second set of photos from our lovely photo shoot with Christina Heaston. I couldn't decide between my two new Everly dresses so I decided to do a quick change in the car and wear both! I love how they both photographed! If you missed the first set of photos, you can check those out here! 

     I had spent the whole week getting ready for this photo shoot. Grooming the dog, making sure boyfriend had outfits picked out, painting my nails, conveniently going to a dentist appointment and then the unexpected happened. I got sick. I knew I wasn't feeling so well that day and it totally slowed me down and had me feeling less then model-like but I pushed through and was so happy with the results. I went to the Make Up For Ever Boutique at South Coast Plaza before the shoot and my lovely best friend and make-up artist, Rachel, did my makeup for the day. 

     I loved that we were able to borrow some balloons from the event the Aquatic Society was having that day and it just added a fun and whimsical element to the photos that made them that much more eye-catching. I have to say being in a dress in the cold, with about 15 balloons helped us draw quite the audience near the pier! People even thought we were selling the balloons! It was a great day and a great experience and I am thrilled to have these photos with us for the rest of our lives!

  8. These are so cute!! I love the colorful balloons! We're doing our engagement pictures next week and I think I might use the balloon idea. Do you think it would be too much for engagement pictures? They're so pretty!!

  9. @Meghan No I think it would be so charming! Maybe use a pink balloon or something could be adorable! And send a link to them when you have them! I would love to see!
