Then to look at these photos and realize I need to chill the heck out, everything was as it should be. _ This miracle of a shoot with some really amazing people and artists now #featured on @whitemagazine _ Wedding Agency - @branchandcole // Styling & Design @benjaminholtrop @beauandarrowevents // Hair - @kelseyzahn // Makeup - @makeupbyashleytani // Dresses - @shopgossamer // Florals - @rawfinery // Model - @brattny_b // Photo - @jensosaweddings @jensosa On a happier note! Hey ya’ll who wants to kick it and learn how to preserve and craft their own dried floral arrangement with yours truly!?!?!?!?! I’ll be giving a dried floral workshop on Wednesday June 13th at 7pm at @prismboutique here in Long Beach! Space is limited so reserve your spot quick! Link in bio! I’m finding #faith takes practice at least for me anyway. Often I find myself struggling more than succeeding or at least it feels like that somedays (well most days). It’s building my persistence and there’s no “easy” ways about it. _ Having my own business is uncomfortable most of the time (or perhaps in this juncture). While I’m growing and that’s a great thing! I’m super grateful. I think it’s important, especially on #instagram to be transparent, to lift the veil of everything’s good and pretty and be real. Everything takes time and there’s beauty in the struggle. #slowandsteady _ Wedding Agency - @branchandcole // Styling & Design @benjaminholtrop @beauandarrowevents // Hair - @kelseyzahn // Makeup - @makeupbyashleytani // Dresses - @shopgossamer // Florals - @rawfinery // Model - @brattny_b // Photo - @jensosaweddings @jensosa Ory’s obvious choice in color scheme 🌑 _ #colormefloral #colorstory #colormefloralbook @tulipinadesign As a floral designer, I put my body through a lot to be able to work with flowers. You could call it a sort of floral madness because to wake up consistently at 12 am - 4 am, scar your body to no end, carry buckets of water as if in a CrossFit cycle, be covered in dirt most of the time all by choice would sound crazy to anyone. _ Yet, one thing is for certain, we love it. Honestly, florals are a luxury that definitely comes at a cost for both the customer and the designer. Only the strong survive this game, we are athletes. We celebrate the beauty of nature and revel in the opportunity to communicate it’s charm through our designs. _ This past week I worked alongside talent that would intimidate even the most esteemed designer. One ideal resounded, we love what we do and we go to great lengths out of that love. I’ll always be at each and every one of your service. _ @tulipinadesign @sweet_kvitka @sb.floral @sfbrannanstwholesale @cassia.foret @brambleandbee @sn0w_violet @nruphoto @seanedwardgarrett @dafioridesign @maxitflowerdesign @rawfinery @carolinereusenflowers @amynicolefloral @bellafleurfloraldesign @connernesbit #tulipinawedding #tulipina Have you ever had a desire of your heart so deeply buried that the moment you found yourself in the midst of a living dream, it felt like a personal gift? A moment orchestrated entirely out of love. That was this shoot. _ Dream Team: Photography| @tiarrasorte Art Direction | @ianschober Videography | @benjaminthomasfilm Hair and Makeup | @sistergolden Paper Goods @euniandco Wedding Dress @sarahseven Floral Design @rawfinery Talent @classicroma Talent @moore_ashley Confectionery @elisecakes Sent this beauty over to @poplash this morning.

For my Mom, I’m so grateful for all the character you’ve instilled in me, for being an inspiration of strength, grace and fortitude.
