Whimsical | Maui, HI

The other day I asked my husband to describe me in one word. "Whimsical"... he said.
whim·si·cal/ˈ(h)wimzikəl/
Adjective: Playfully quaint or fanciful, esp. in an appealing and amusing way. Someone or something who is whimsical is often ever-changing, playful, light-natured, possibly even dream-like.
His answer surprised me, yet fits me so well.
My personality transpires through my passions, and I hope to bring more "whimsy" into your life.
Blushing Brides, Lace & Mermaids are what inspired me for this shoot. This is part II of La Sirene.

Andrea's Boudoir shoot | foto by Bella de Beau

Here is a boudoir photo shoot I've been dying to post. I did Andrea's makeup and boudoir photo shoot in March. Andrea is so sweet and we clicked instantly. She's an Ecostrategist for her company EcoStrategies, a sustainability planning and implementation service. This amazing gal planned her eco-friendly wedding all by herself! I loved how her shoes expresses her passion about being green (= Congratulations Andrea and Ernest!
