Happy Monday! Today is the day I’m sharing photos of a recent collaboration with Abbey Moore Photography! I’m so excited to share these with you and I’ve got a few butterflies in my stomach because they are more serious and personal than anything I’ve done before. We were inspired by raw and moody black and white portraiture. So often the focus around the blogosphere is on fashion and what we’re wearing but I wanted to do something completely different, something that’s a little vulnerable and focuses less on the clothing and more the subject and emotion. I hope you enjoy these and I’d love to hear what you think! A huge thanks to Abbey Moore for taking these photos! If it isn’t already clear, she’s insanely talented. She has such an infectious personality that is so fun to be around. Abbey is based out of Michigan and primarily shoots weddings. Be sure to check out her website and blog as well as follow her on Twitter and Facebook. Well, here goes…!
I’d love to hear what you think. Thanks again, Abbey! xoxo

These photo’s of you are stunning! They capture you really well. I like the black and white and that you the subject is really the focus. You look like a model in a magazine. Beautiful.
