Window shopping is a poor girls dream. Heck: It IS THE BRIDE'S DREAM. Dreams are made and shattered in the very reflections of the window shopper. I am a perpetual window shopper. I like to fill my cart up with everything I see, touch, and feel, then leave the cart. I'm that annoying shopper that shops short of the cash register then gives you all of those things to re-shelve at the end of the day. I'm really not a unthoughtful person. I just like to feel what it feels like because it always eventually comes back around to me.
Today's BRIDAL TREND happens to be the dream all of all for this year's 2015 Bride. Bridal Trend pick of the week is "Suarez Bakery" of Charlotte, NC. How do would one describe Suarez? Well, Charlotte Magazine would call it "Guns and Butter." I would call it Carlos Suarez. Be sure to read more about the Bakery here. Here are some pictures from my adventures ever so rustic, sleek, wonderful, and whimsical.
Some stories are passed down through photographs. Others through family traditions, the places we come from, and the things we choose to carry with us.
In 2024, I had the pleasure of photographing Enedina Michel at Charming Farm Studio in Gilbert, Arizona, during a creative gathering with Women Networking in Photography (WNP).
I was immediately drawn to her beautiful leather gabán, adorned with horses, horseshoes, intricate designs, and fringe. Paired with her cowboy hat, lasso, and striking boots, her ensemble was a beautiful representation of Mexican ranching culture. But what interested me most was learning about the personal history behind it.
