Creative Collective Mentor + Mix

 We had the most magical evening at our Creative Collective mentor + mix event sharing all about "Business Basics."  The Barn at Springhouse was the perfect venue for this event and I love how we were able to set up the small group sessions around palette tables throughout the barn and beautiful surrounding grounds.  We had a lot of returning attendees from our first event and some new faces as well!  Huge thanks to the venue and vendors, The Barn at SpringhouseAmendment 21 Event BartendingZachary Brady DesignsKara ShepherdJoe Dean Hinkle, and Crank & Boom Craft Ice Cream!  Be sure to scroll through all our photos from the event below (all photos by On a Whim Photography).

Valentine's Day

     Happy Valentine's Day!  This fun shoot with pops of pastel + red was one of my favorites to date!  I knew I wanted to shoot in front of one of my favorite houses in Lexington in Gratz Park.  This home reminds me of a Charleston house on rainbow row!  The star of my outfit is this faux fur pastel jacket (which I snagged on clearance at Target!).  Since it's currently not online, I linked tons of similar options below!  I paired it with another Target fave, this mock neck sweater (also seen here) which was the perfect pop of red to match my heart balloons!  I've also been loving Maybelline's new matte ink lipcolors, and this Heroine shade is the perfect bright red!  You can shop all of my outfit details which are linked for you above + below!
