[dropcaps]W[/dropcaps]e took these photos in late December, when the weather was absolutely gorgeous here in Northern California. Only a few weeks before, we had a few inches of snow covering the ground. Despite the fact that we threw this photo shoot together extremely last minute, I absolutely adore the photos!
Pretty much the only thing I had planned ahead of time was this dress (that I found the day before at 50% off!). An hour before sunset, we were still running around the house. I was looking for shoes and throwing makeup on, Ryan was shaving and picking out a shirt, my sister was checking to see if the chalkboard paint had dried, and we were all throwing props in a bag.
We had about 40 minutes before the sun went down. We headed up to our barn and just started shooting. My sister doesn’t claim to be a photographer, but she stepped into the role with ease. She was standing on wine barrels, moving like a ninja to get different angles, props hanging out of her pockets. She was a rock star.
I chalkboard paint, and my sister’s super cute handwriting.
