Photo Aesthetics That We Love We love a great aesthetic in our fashion photos that are artistic and vibrant. One of our favorite props are flowers and plants.

Your creativity can go from subtle and romantic to energetic and lively. In a recent photoshoot time was of the essence and the designer wasn't present, so we

had to make something happen out of nothing and this is how we made a plain set design into a floral Oasis.

1. We went to a location that had a rustic look.

2. The flowers that we used were hibiscus, roses and sunflowers. (What a mix) . We made head pieces and spread out what was left onto the ground. The model had a few in her hand.

3. During the editing process we added filters that brought out a golden sun kissed sunshine effect. Viola!

POPS OF COLOR

I remember when I was a little girl and my mother would mix and match her prints and colors. I would always tell her that I didn't think that the colors matched. She would laugh and tell me how she was giving her outfit a pop of color aka color block.

In fashion some say that there aren't any rules and then you have your fashion stylist and designers who prefer fashion styling techniques and go by color spectrums that compliment each other. One things for sure, bright colors can definitely make or break your outfit.

YOU CAN'T BEAT A VIBRANT COLOR

Definition and orgin: Color-blocking is thought of as the exploration of taking colors that are opposites on the color wheel and pairing them together to make interesting and complementary color combinations. It is commonly associated in fashion as a trend that originated from the artwork of Dutch painter, Piet Mondrian. Wikipedia

Too often we let the opinions of others put a Dimmer on our vision. Do your daily affirmations and know that you are great and that what is considered a failure is a heads up. There is a better, smarter, and more effective way to accomplish what you need to be in order to be the best at what you desire

Often times as parents and caregivers you may have to put your dreams or hobbies to the side so that you can be there for your family. Marisol has stepped up and out to do things she never imagined were possible. Stepping into her purpose as a team leader, host, motivator, and fierce goddess has been the most exhilarating experience ever.
