When I am shooting a wedding, I am typically in a dress and heels. I am pretty certain that there will be a day when my feet retaliate big time! But in the meantime, it works and it is what I feel most professional in. I believe professionalism should be presented at all times when you are a business owner, but I really like to up my game on the day of a wedding…thus the dresses. Since weddings are usually held on a Saturday, that means that there are a lot of days where I can be a bit more laid back. But even on those laid back days, I want to still be presentable and have a little fun with fashion. Fitness is something I am very passionate about and THANK GOODNESS that the athletic wear designers figured out that women want to be able to sport their clothes in and out of the gym. Lululemon started to get really big when I was living in Colorado and it was love at first sight! I remember being in the gym working with my trainer and I said to him “Hold on…I have to ask this girl where she got her workout clothes”. He said “You’re kidding right?”. Well..I went up to her and she removed her ear buds and nicely (whew!) told me the brand name. I said “lemon-what?”. Oh I wish I had never asked her because I went straight to one of their showrooms the very next day. Since then, there have been even more amazing new fitness wear designers and I couldn’t be happier. What’s fun about the designs today is that you can pair them with regular clothing items. Some of the tops are SO cute that you can wear them with jeans. Or you can wear a pair of super cute skirted leggings with boots. Yep…boots.
The pictures posted below show more of a casual after-gym look. Nothing really on the fashionable side except for my Borelli Designs scarf. My Borelli scarves go with me everywhere and they are totally versatile. They can be a warm accessory on a cool morning that can then double as a sweat towel during a difficult Pure Barre class. It can be worn as a wrap, beach cover-up or simply just as…a scarf. I have had this one for nearly 3 years and it has yet to fade, pill or look drab. I plan to get more very soon.
My jacket is from lululemon and is also been around for a bit and has held up beautifully.
Check out all the ways you can wear your Borelli.
If you have a fun way to mix fashion with fitness wear, be sure to share!

One of my favorite parts of a family session is the look I get when I say “ok…now just be candid, act casual, laugh, be silly and just forget that I am here”. It’s usually a look of confusion. I then say that it is totally normal to feel a bit awkward because it isn’t something we are used to when it comes to having our pictures taken. The reason it is my favorite part is because by the end of the session, everyone is feeling natural and having a lot of fun and that is what is captured in the images. Going from the posed to slightly posed to candid is what keeps the interactions natural.
I was super thrilled when Morgan & Nicole asked if they could take some pictures of one of them giving the other a piggyback. This is when I realized they too were having a good time. And the images that we got from those with the gorgeous sunlight behind them, are some favorites of mine from the session. I adore the entire Schumacher family and am so happy that I got to be a part of documenting their beautiful family. Thank you all for making the afternoon a lot of fun!!
