I’m visiting my cousin in Nashville this week and couldn’t resist roping her into my portraits with plants project and photographing her wearing my jewelry in the gorgeous indoor gardens of the Opryland hotel. We took so many pictures, so this is part one of several more posts coming! And if you want to recreate Trista’s look, the Petale Earrings and Petite Modular Necklace No. 1 in bronze are both available in my online store!
I recently got new glasses, my first pair of progressives (let’s not call them bifocals) and that plus the fact that I’ve been playing with some new neon chain designs just screamed for some new portraits with plants.
One of my favorite things about the Modular Collection is that you can play with the length by adding on chain extenders. The image above features a Petite Modular Necklace No. 1 in bronze and the images below feature a Petite Modular Necklace No. 3 in bronze, both with a 2 1/2″ chain extender!
I had an idea for this photoshoot that I’m referring to as “French librarian walks into a greenhouse” vibes, but it was also the perfect opportunity to show off the Petite Modular Necklace No. 1 + chain extender in four different lengths!
I bought this dress on a whim a couple of years ago, and it sat in my closet until this spring when I threw it on to go to a wedding. Since then, I’ve been in love with it. I wore it in the studio to photograph the new bronze Modular Necklaces. And I couldn’t resist wearing it in my backyard one morning to do another round of portraits with plants!
The other day I was carrying a bunch of stuff up to my studio to do a photo shoot and rather than carrying these three Petite Modular Necklaces with chain extenders, I decided to just put them on. And of course, after I did, I realized it was the perfect way to show off the different lengths you can get!
One of my favorite things about the Modular Collection is that you can connect different pieces together to have even more options. Like this long silver necklace, which is really the original Modular Necklace No. 1 connected to the new Midi Modular Necklace No. 1.
I’ve been a little obsessed with pinning portraits of people with plants on Pinterest. I came across some images of a woman standing in front of a wall of WallyGro planters and I thought, “hey, I have a wall like that in my studio!”
I originally planned to just take pictures in front of the wall with my Modular necklaces, but I couldn’t resist getting a little closer to one of my favorite plants, the Monstera adonsonii!
I had to laugh when I came across this article in the New York Times last week about how foundation is dead because a few days before, I took these pictures wearing only lipstick.
I’m not saying this is my favorite photo I’ve ever taken of myself, but I’m not NOT saying that. I will say that I had so much fun setting up this photo shoot to preview my new Midi Modular Necklace No. 1.
