Styleauteur Lauren Rothman : Photos from her session

Dear readers,

You probably saw the behind-the-scenes post for Lauren Rothman’s photoshoot. Lauren has just finished her first book : Style Bible: What to Wear to Work . It is on pre-order now to be published and shipped later this year.

 

Here are some of the photographs we made that day. 4 outfit changes, inside and outside the studio.

A big shout out to Envee for Hair and Makeup and my client and friend Sarah Boyd for helping make the shoot a success.

Wishing you all the success in the world Lauren!

About albums and how I am a bit of a control freak…

Hello blog readers!

You know how I am always encouraging you to print your photographs, get them up on your walls and console tables and get albums made.. well, I thought I would show you what an album looks like. I have been meaning to do it for a while now and am finally getting around to it.

Your family session includes an album. These are hand made, one of a kind, gorgeous albums… family heirlooms and something I think you will look through over and over again. As much as I love sliding through photos on my phone, there is nothing quite like flipping through a real album. I design the layout of all the albums, I like them to tell a story of our time together and I take a lot of time planning it out just right. Some might say borderline obsessive compulsive and this is why I have not been able to outsource this, even though there are so many people who just design albums!

One of my clients asked if they get an input in the layouts and the photos selected. Well… the short answer is not really. I want it to be one big, fat, amazing, massive surprise. And did I mention I am a bit of a control freak? It’s about the story people!

Oh, my albums are made by the fabulous people at Madera Books.  Go check them out.

 

Here are the layouts for Baby Drew’s album. I just love how it turned out. Just like with my photography, I like to keep things simple. Simple is not simple to achieve but in photographs keeping it simple really showcases relationships, and in albums it showcases the story. I am one of those people who is wary of too much show. If the first thing you notice in a family photograph is an outfit or location and not the people.. then boo! If the first thing you notice in an album is that is is too fussy.. then super boo. The story is the detail. The relationship is the detail. If you capture that, you don’t need the frills.

Anyway.. back to the layouts.. here they are. Also, please excuse the above photos. I am not a product photographer. But I am going to be a great one by the end of the year (personal mission).

Can’t wait to design your album!

xo,

Rashmi

Happy Mother’s Day!

A Poem For Mom
by Champagne S. Baker

You are the sunlight in my day,
You are the moon I see far away.
You are the tree I lean upon,
You are the one that makes troubles be gone.
You are the one who taught me life,
How not to fight, and what is right.
You are the words inside my song,
You are my love, my life, my mom.
You are the one who cares for me,
You are the eyes that help me see.
You are the one who knows me best,
When it’s time to have fun and time to rest.
You are the one who has helped me to dream,
You hear my heart and you hear my screams.
Afraid of life but looking for love,
I’m blessed for God sent you from above.
You are my friend, my heart, and my soul
You are the greatest friend I know.
You are the words inside my song,
You are my love, my life, my Mom.

 

Happy Mother’s Day!

Please accept my sincere apologies if I missed you in the slideshow. I am at home and don’t have access to all my sessions here!
