Let me start today’s post by saying that I am an extremely lucky creator to have such an uber talented photographer not only at my disposal, but also totally on my team. He is 1/2 the team if I’m being honest! @caylegrayphotography is my photographer, my husband, and often the lens that brings my vision into focus. I am so grateful and proud of the creative process we have developed over the years. The truth is we love to create together. It is fun for us from start to finish. Combining our two passions to dream up, conceptualize and execute these images is as much of a treat for us as it is for hopefully you. We thrive on the work that goes into each photo, and please believe me it is work. Behind each image there are hours and hours of discussions, research and brainstorming sessions focused on getting something dreamy and magical, and all of the other words that fuel our nerdy excitement! In a way the images I share here on this platform are a true peek into our passion. We are committed to making each photo count, if that makes sense! Each time we create images we aim to inspire not only you, but even more so ourselves. 📷 by @caylegrayphotography . . . #thatlacommunity #225magazine #creativeprocess #creativephotography #dreamyimages #fashionphotography #southerncharm #70sfashion
