style session! {pink apple photography}

remember this preview post?

once in a while it's beneficial to wiggle outside your comfort zone...so that's exactly what i did...albeit the girls of pink apple photography graciously held my hand. from our first brainstorming session, these fellow photographers had a clear vision. gwen and lara (the spunky duo behind the pink apple brand) wanted an eclectic mix of colors, textures, and personality to shine through their pictures. it was refreshing to have such creative minds stylizing their session from start to finish. 

these images speak volumes about their photographic flair!

they brought props, colorful accessories, and major glam factor! 

 i was in awe of how natural they seemed in front of the camera.

many photographers...myself included...are a big ball of awkward when the lens is turned. these two are naturals!

many thanks to gwen and lara for this fun experience...and for still staying friends after my over-ambition caught up with me toward the end of the season ;)
