Photoshoot with Justin! Bode Helm Photography!

Justin and I had a photo session with photographer Bode Helm. :)  He is a talented and very nice photographer!  I was a bit star struck since I read about him before the shoot.   He has an amazing portfolio and has shot Drew Barrymore, Leann Rimes, John Cho, Dave Chapelle and many more!  He came to our apartment community and our generous apartment offered a free 8x10 photo so Justin and I jumped at the chance!  We got to immediately see all the photos and purchased additional pictures.  Although the session was a bit pricey, we think it was definitely worth it because we have great couple shots! :)  I also got singles to incorporate in my YouTube and Blog! :) I'm hoping to make a new banner soon.  Please let me know if you know of someone who knows how to make banners. :)  

What I'm wearing:
❤ Amrita Singh Turquoise Shelter Island Necklace I purchase from an Haute Look sale for only $40 and they usually run for about $100-$200!
❤Similar necklace here and here.
❤ My dress is a Blaque Label dress c/o Karmaloop (Seen in my Holiday YT video)
❤Similar dress here, here, and affordable here
❤ Pearl Studs similar here

 This is the picture we picked for our 8x10



Doesn't Justin look so handsome?

My makeup is really simple.  If only I remembered what products I used!  
I plan to recreate this look for my bridal makeup because I like a simple look with pink lips. 

I created loose curls with my Babybliss hot rollers only working on the ends of my hair. 
In this picture I'm practicing to smile with me teeth. I have Invisalign and it is slowly straightening my teeth.

Being the big dork that I am I asked to take a picture with the talented photographer. :) 

 Here is Bode Helm's portfolio. 


Overall, I think my Amrita Singh statement necklace brought color to my outfit.  I'm officially obsessed with Amrita Singh!
