The Age of Aquarius is the new dawn, a celestial reawakening of the global consciousness and collective. It’s no longer “me” rather “we” how refreshing right! Collaborating means the world and brings me so much joy to create together. This romantic styled shoot was inspired by The Luminism art movement, renaissance and romantic paintings from the1800’s. Feel the passion, romance and softness of spring awaken with these soothing Pantone colors of rose quartz and serenity blue. This mid-winter shoot is a refreshing breath of fresh air that brings hope, joy and calm to the world.

Tell us about your attire choices.
The attire was based on the ethereal painted backdrop of a sunset cloudy sky of soft pinks and blues. We went with Samantha Sleeper’s whimsical designs and flowed from there. The suit in blue and pink were a match to the painted backdrop.
Please describe any DIY, handmade or personal details.
The painted backdrop was done by a famous Swedish artist, Pia Sjolin. Adding functional art to a backdrop is sustainable.
Describe the tablescape elements.
Rose quartz, quartz, celenetine and soft blue swirled plates were used in the same color theme as the painted backdrop. Low candles and bud vases were the perfect backdrop for table conversations.
