Valentine's Beach Picnic!

Nothing is sweeter than a stroll on the beach and sharing a beautiful picnic in the sand with the one you love. Add some champagne, amazing pastries, plush pillows and some romantic details and you have yourself a chic and fun Valentine’s picnic brunch with your Honey!

I had a fabulous time teaming up with lovely and talented photographer Maggie Marsek, and here is what we created together! We could not have asked for a more gorgeous day on the beach....

You can emboss fruit!!!

We wanted to portray a fresh, cool, SoCal vibe with lots of loving details. The cliffs, warm sand and gorgeous water provide the always ahhhh-mazing backdrop, so that meant keep the details simple but add a punch of pinks, crystal and white.

i long along

parched desert wildflowers

rustled by a dry breeze

crackled like tumbleweed

in autumn's backyard

now buried by snowdrift

withered under weather

i long for their vibrant color

their skeletal delicacy

i long along

for winter's end

i will welcome the weeds

as much as the others

my longing for autumn

she is long gone

i long along

long along

spring will come

she will come
